AdminStudio

Hi All,

I've captured an install through Repackager (AdminStudio 6.0) which was compiled and work fine. However, there are different environments. We would like to use this MSI but, would like to use an 'Input' file containing variables, for example, %APP_PATH% or Public variables (if possible) to define the installation based on the MSI. Firstly, is this possible? I know that SysPrep uses the same concept with Unattended.txt which contains defined Setup parameters. The purpose of this is to let the customer define the parameters for their environment. BTW, several packages were captured.

Thanks in advance 🙂

hi there,

have a look at transform files(.mst).
you can use tuner or editor to create them using your 'base' MSI.

All public properties can also be passed from the command line.

Hope it helps,
Marco

Hi Macro,

Thanks for the reply to my question. Our approach has changed. We will be using the original Setup.exe from source with arguement -r to capture the response entered by the installer. This captures a Setup.iss file into the Windows or Winnt folder. Then editing the iss file for unattended response file.

thanks again,

Tim
