  • 1.  Automated install using Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager

    Posted 06-28-2019 15:53
    Does anyone know the parameters required to do a silent installation using SCCM? The client is preparing for go live on Sage 2018 Standard and wants to update user workstations automatically.

    Thanks

    Resolution

    As InstallShield's website describes it: "A normal (non-silent) installation receives the necessary input from the user in the form of responses to dialog boxes. However, a silent installation does not prompt the user for input. A silent installation must get its user input from a different source. That source is the InstallShield Silent response file (.iss file).

    A response file contains information similar to that which an end user would enter as responses to dialog boxes when running a normal installation. InstallShield Silent reads the necessary input from the response file at run time. The format of response files resembles that of an .ini file, but response files have .iss extensions. A response file is a plain text file consisting of sections containing data entries."

    Workstation setup can be automated by creating the response file and placing it into the wksetup directory, for an install or uninstall of workstation setup.

    Record the setup.iss response file:

    1. Start wksetup.exe from DOS with a -r argument (wksetup.exe -r while in the wksetup directory)
    2. Proceed with the workstation install or uninstall.
    3. This places the setup.iss file in the C:\windows directory of the workstation.
    4. Move the setup.iss file from the this directory to the MAS90\wksetup directory on the server.
    5. Start wksetup.exe file from DOS with a -s argument. 
      From the wksetup directory:

    wksetup.exe -s

    The install or uninstall proceeds without notification to the user.

    If the physical location of MAS 90 is changed or if user preferences need to be changed, the setup.iss file will need to be re-recorded and replaced within the wksetup.exe directory. Workstation setup can still be run manually at any time.

    The functionality of this feature depends on the version of InstallShield that the client has on their OS. Current versions of Windows XP and Vista are compatible.

    Note: Recording the file and silent execution can also be automated through a batch file from Windows to avoid shelling out to DOS.
