One Software Package 2 versions of install

Can anyone help me with this?

As an example we use Adobe Acrobat Standard X I need to have two installs for two different departments.

Same OS, Same version of software but two different MST files.
IE: two different keys and different settings in the MST file.

Thanks

Yes ... can be done ...
I Assume you use SCCM or SMS to deploy the application.

Just create different Install programs for different departments with department specific MST in installation command.

Eg:
[Per-System Unattended-Dep1]

Command = Msiexec /i "InstallMyMSI.msi" TRANSFORMS="Department1.MST" /qn

[Per-System Unattended-Dep2]

Command = Msiexec /i "InstallMyMSI.msi" TRANSFORMS="Department2.MST" /qn

Make sure the Programs are added under Package Definition Header.

Create two collections for each department , advertised the specific programs to collections

I'm not a KaCE user, but most deployment toolkits let you use different transforms for different distributions. You don't have different installs so that's a good thing. The challenge you may run into is when a machine from dept A with its transform moves to dept B. You'll need to resolve that if asset transfers happen a lot,

Hey d_firlotte,

Its a very similar concept with Kace.

You'll zip up the file with both MST files.

Then just create two distributions calling different answer files targeting different labels.
Rating comments in this legacy AppDeploy message board thread won't reorder them,
so that the conversation will remain readable.
