CorelDraw_GraphicsSuite_X3
Hi,
I am in the process of trying to create an unattended install of this package(CorelDraw_GraphicsSuite_X3). It's version 13.2 of the software.
When trying to create an admin install - I have tried the command line
msiexec.exe /a "d:\CGS13\setup.msi" SERIALNUMBER=XXXXXXX-XXXXXXX-XXX TARGETDIR="\\server\share\administall" /qb
but I get an message saying that i must run the setup.exe directly.
I have tried editing the msi directly to remove the line from the Launch Condition table - (SETUPEXEDIR) OR (VersionNT<600) OR (UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE) and also adding the Property ISSETUPDRIVEN to the msi but when I then try the command line above I get an error message saying that the serial number is not valid. Even though the serial number is valid and works with the msi when run using setup.exe.
I usually would add these settings via a transform but in this case because I am trying to creat an admin install I can't (to my knowledge) use a tranform.
Does anyone know how I can create an admin install for this product so I can apply my SP1 patch to it?
Thanks,
Rgds,
Mark

I wouldn't bother specifying a serial number when creating an AIP.

Thank you VBScab,
I have also tried without the SERIALNUMBER property defined and it still doesn't work, same problem with it looking for me to run the setup.exe.

Have you tried running direct from the exe using /V to pass commands to the msi
"d:\CGS13\setup.exe" /L0x0409 /V " /a /qb SERIALNUMBER=XXXXXX-XXXXXXX-XXX" TARGETDIR="\\server\share\administall"
There's someting else you need to consider as well as the ISSETUPDRIVEN property there is sometimes a custom action - OnCheckSilentInstall which needs to be removed or conditioned to always be false
"d:\CGS13\setup.exe" /L0x0409 /V " /a /qb SERIALNUMBER=XXXXXX-XXXXXXX-XXX" TARGETDIR="\\server\share\administall"

Thanks Timmsie,
I have managed to get it installed using the following command line
setup.exe /L0x0407 /V" /qn SERIALNUMBER=XXXXXXX-XXXXXXX-XXX
And I can uninstall it using the following command line
setup.exe /x /s /v" /qn
However, I would still like to be able to perform and admin install so I can apply the SP1 patch to it and also apply my transforms to it with my companies standards.....
Is it possible to apply a transform on the command line specified above? I will try it now and post when I know the answer.
