msi package

Post by joks »

Hello,
thanks for sharing .msi packages but i have one small problem.
i update ultravnc from domain server with .msi package to all users but after update every user on desktop have new ultravnc icon shortcuts.
in new .exe version we can disable create shortucts but in .msi package were is no such option

any .msi package that i deploy from domain server i usually first install with:
msiexec /i installer.msi /l*v log.txt
and in log.txt file i search for ADDLOCAL and now i can deploy .msi package with options like:
msiexec /i installer.msi ADDLOCAL=options_i_choose_during_install
but i see that ADDLOCAL is not used with msi package for ultravnc.

how can i deploy .msi package silient without desktop shortcuts ?

Hello,

can you pls share the msi parameters you are using ?
I need to see some other options as well,

generally, is there any kind of documentation regarding msi parameters upon installing ??
I found many more on .exe setup rather than .msi ....this causes problems in GPO in Windows Domains

ANy help would be appreciated

hello, sorry but the author did not write back abut msi parameters so for now when i want silient install .msi package i must use second domain script (run at logon or run at once with scheulder) with:

@ echo off
del %SYSTEMDRIVE%"\Users\Public\Desktop\UltraVNC Server.lnk"
del %SYSTEMDRIVE%"\Users\Public\Desktop\UltraVNC Settings.lnk"
del %SYSTEMDRIVE%"\Users\Public\Desktop\UltraVNC Viewer.lnk"

after that shortcuts from desktop are removed but the easiest method would be install msi with parameters

Hi joks,
can you share pls the msi options you are using ? the parameters I mean inside your domain logon script ?
I'm trying to find a solution too, and would be great to test your options for verification

Many thanks
