Dearest Colleagues,
Sorry for the cross posting once again.
If you were tasked with getting ap application that nomally asks you a bunch
of questions set a bunch of options and does a whole of of other things
with the end result being the creation of what I like to call a "touch-less"
msi package (that is to say, one you can simple double click and it does all
of its things, without EVER asking you a single question) and which, of
course, can be simply pushed out through a GPO object to a particular group
of computers, what would that utility be?
I have used Wiininstall LE which does the whole before and after shapshots
for me and it has worked splendidtly, but the place I am now apparently
tells me that such before and after snapshotting have fallen from favor in
the world of Pushing things out through MSI's. They tell me of using ORCA
as well as command line switches, but the problem is I donnt know if such
command line switches are able to be thrown throgh the simple GPO objects in
AD, first, and, second, what about the registry settings and the "program
folders that have been created in the past by my using packages like
wininstall LE? - is there something new on the block that can be used.
In short, wht is the best utility that is out there for creating truly
customized MSI packagess so that you can not only tell an application to
bypass eula screens and install certain features, but also pull in certain
features that the application would normally have pullled in through a
registry setting.
Let this be know, I am not looking for a one off answer. Any directions or
links you can point me to would be more than greatly appreciated.
Regards,
The Flying Dutchman
