Here's the latest Vray Silent Installer info

Maya osx/linux:

You need to perform one standard installation with the settings that you want to populate over the other machines.

At the end of installation you will find the following note:

Saving your install configuration to installcfg.txt...

You may now install the product on another machine by issuing

./vray_adv_2004_maya2011_snow_leopard_x64.exe -fromFile="installcfg.txt"

The “installcfg.txt” file will be created in the directory where the V-Ray installation .exe is located. I The command should looks like the one below:

./vray_adv_xxxxxx_maya20xx_snow_leopard_xxx.exe -fromFile="/path/to/installcfg.txt"

Maya win7:

Create an .xml file with contents similar to the one below, where you can specify the values for the various installer variables.

Then you can run the installer with the command:

vray_adv_08530_maya2008_x86.exe -gui=0 -configFile="xml_file.xml" -quiet=1

This will cause the installer to read the default variable values to the xml file and do the installation without asking any questions. If you do not specify the '-quiet=1' option, the installer will ask for a confirmation for each variable before proceeding.

Below is an example .xml file, here is a description of the variables:

MAYAROOT - this is the root maya folder;

PLUGINS - this is the plugins folder for maya; the default places it as a sub-folder of the maya root one;

OPEN_CHANGELOG - this is 1 to open the changelog after the installation and 0 if you don't want it to open;

Example .xml file:

<Value Name="MAYAROOT" DataType="value">C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2008</Value>

<Value Name="PLUGINS" DataType="value">$MAYAROOT\vray</Value>

</DefValues>
