I remember that it's possible to create an MSI package and then publish
it in some way that it appears in Add/Remove Programs under "Add New
Programs" in the "Add programs from your network" window. I know how to
create the MSI package, but have forgotten how to make it appear to users in
Add/Remove Programs. Any ideas?

Hi David,

You create a new Group Policy Object, then click on Users>Software
Settings>Software Installation>New>Package.

Then enter the UNC to the MSI, then choose "Publish". This is only
available to users, you cannot publish to computers.

Scott,

Thanks for the quick response. This would require Active Directory,
then, yes?

David Dixon

Yes, it does.
