msi installer

[alexchevrier]

Hi,
I want to deploy ultravnc thru gpo. My msi is done and working with the service. I'm trying to add the video driver to my msi... there is my problem.

We use 2000, XP and Vista (2500+ computers). Has someone managed to do that ? Any help would be welcome !

Thanks,
Alexandre Chevrier.

hallo alexchevrier,

which kind of software you`ve used to create the msi package?
Can you tell me, how you`ve done?

I use WinINSTALL LE 2003 for my msi packages.

Here's how I did it :

Create a new project

{For the files}

unzip the vnc binary files in [project folder]\program files\ultravnc
copy ultravnc.ini in the same folder
add every files to the project in the correct component (each component is a folder)

{For the service}

In the component that is the folder [ProgramFilesFolder]\Ultravnc set the key path to winvnc.exe
Add a service uvnc_service that use the file [ProgramFilesFolder]\Ultravnc\winvnc.exe with the argument -service

Add a control in the same component with the same name (uvnc_service) and specify start during install and stop + delete during uninstall



That's about it... now I have all the driver files on the client computers and a running ultravnc... but I can't figure how to install the drivers by gpo / msi.


If you want my "source files" for the project, you can e-mail me at chevriera@csvt.qc.ca and I'll send a zip.
