Software Deployment

Hi

Couldnt you just untick in while doing sequencing in feature block one?

@Riedwann, The OP states that he's deploying with SCCM (albeit with an odd reference to GPO), not sequencing the app for AppV/SoftGrid.

@OP, IIRC, you'll need to add the registry entries detailed in the 'Package KB' to the patch file you create using the customisation option for Setup.EXE. The patch file is then deposited in the 'Updates' folder. If there are other options you need to change, capture the changes using a lightweight snapshot tool (e.g. InstallWatch) and add those to the patch file, too.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Common\Internet]
"UseOnlineContent"=dword:00000001
- [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Common\General]
"Authorized"=dword:00009904
"ShownOptIn"=dword:00000001
- [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\User Settings\ProductCode]
"Count"=dword:00000001

I added these Keys to my package. Still, the Check for Updates is enabled.

you will need to use the self healing feature of windows installer or you can use active setup to repair those keys

Thank you so much for the input people. I will try msiexec /f [ProductCode] in ActiveSetup and update if it worked or not.

that will not work you will need to use /fu [productcode] qb!

Tried both /f and /fu. None of them seem to work. They do initiate a self repair tho.

These are the reg keys I have added so far.

The first two would best be deployed by Group Policy and shrunk down to one: you don't need a machine policy AND a user policy.

The HKLM key won't get written during a /FU repair, because it's a machine key, not a user key. Add 'M' to write machine keys. Also, I think you'll need a space between the switch and its parameter(s):MSIExec /F U {whatever}

Been a while, but my notes show adding the custom files to get extra setting from setup /admin
