What is the program you are trying to install? What does your current script look like? Need more info...

do i include the path in the "<>" brackets? - sdee13 10 years ago
-
No, in place of the brackets. So msiexec /i C:\Adobe\install.msi.......like that. - nheyne 10 years ago

doesn't work just get a "windows installer screen" the full file path kace is trying to push is msiexec.exe K:\TSS\Pub Folder\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Acrobat 9 Professional\Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro> ISX_SERIALNUMBER=1111-1111-1111-1111-1111-1111/qn / /i /i /i "acropro.msi" - sdee13 10 years ago

anyone know what i'm doing wrong? - sdee13 10 years ago

Will it install if you leave out the ISX_SERIALNUMBER parameter? Also, I just realized that the path you have there is for Pro, not Standard. Not sure if that makes a difference though... - nheyne 10 years ago

Keep in mind that by default everything runs as SYSTEM. SYSTEM doesn't have rights to "K:". Create an Online Script, and run as a user with rights to that share. Even better ZIP your install files and upload them. Create a managed install out of it. - dugullett 10 years ago

oh it is pro version...i'll try without the serial # - sdee13 10 years ago

If it still doesn't work, I would look into the Customization Wizard in the link above. - nheyne 10 years ago

There are some deployment tips here:

Also, I would recommend using a managed install for deploying software and not a script. - chucksteel 10 years ago -
i can deploy the software, but i need the script so i can install without having to enter the product key, i want to make it automatic, and hopefully silent down the road - sdee13 10 years ago

Install the program on one system.
Run on this system c:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\KACE\runkbot 4 0 or force the update inside the inventory of the KBox.
Create a Managed Install (Point to Distribution->Managed Install) as soon this has been finished.
Upload the installation file and modify the installation parameters field.
This should be a part of your jumpstart trainings.
Also you may call support for helping you with that, as it looks like you never worked with msi and silent installations.
I know it is not very easy but if you done this a few times it runs without any problem - Nico_K 10 years ago -
i've created managed installs, just need help with the scripting to add to the perameter section - sdee13 10 years ago

K:\TSS\Pub Folder\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Acrobat 9 Professional\Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro\acropro.msi has spaces, so it needs to be quoted. Also note dugullett's comment about running as System. Use the Customization wizard, makes deployment much easier.
msiexec /i "K:\TSS\Pub Folder\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Acrobat 9 Professional\Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro\acropro.msi" ISX_SERIALNUMBER=1111-1111-1111-1111-1111-1111 /qn - SDNBTP 10 years ago

i've used the customization wizard, but i'm getting a error 1327 invalide drive when i try to execute the command
my script is msiexec.exe /i AcroPro.msi TRANSFORMS=AcroPro.mst
i created a zip file that contains all the other info - sdee13 10 years ago
