Silent Install with Single File EXE
I have a 3rd party MSI which includes a setup.exe, a CAB file and the windows installer files.
I created a transform using Tuner which creates a few shortcuts and drops a some files pertinent to my company. The files do not interact with the package.
If put all the files into a directory and run a command line msiexec /i "MY MSI.MSI" /qb TRANSFORMS=mymsi.mst
it works great.
I want to be able to bundle all the files into one single EXE with the command line a part of the build.
I basically want a user to download one file like a setup.exe, double click on it and it installs the program and applies the transform.
How do I do this?
msiexec /i "Symantec AntiVirus.msi" /qb TRANSFORMS=sav9.mst REINSTALLMODE=vomus REINSTALL=ALL
PFTW allows one to run commands against setup.exe. What is the paramenters for this?
I've tried this:
setup.exe /s /V"/qb REINSTALLMODE=vomus REINSTALL=ALL" but I only receive errors.
Any thoughts?
Actually that is what I am currently using. Basically I've created a custom command that copies all the Symantec files and my files into a directory. I also use the custom command to make the installation silent. Then all that happens is Symantec is installed without any changes. A batch file creates a registry entry in runonce to copy my files in the directories they need to go in after a reboot.
I just completed a class on AdminStudio and was trying to see if I could use a transform file to do the same thing.
