Software Deployment

please look up the Package KB. you should find info about modifying the XML pref files that itunes uses.

I've copied the Updated XML under the appropriate directories but when i install the MSI my UPDATED XML file does not install.
Files size remains 1kb ? i don't know what i am doing wrong here.

how are you copying these files? In your MSI? If so, have you taken into account CU settings/files & how to properly populate these? Also look through ur install sequence & make sure there is no CA creating the prefs post file copy...

I am also trying to disable the option to "Check for Updates" that is under the 'Help' Menu options in iTunes 8.

I have read the Packaging guides and have done the following:

1) Changed Property 'SCHEDULE_ASUW' from '1' to '0'.

2) Created the two .xml files. I used a CA to put the 'xml' files into user's profile. I have configured the 'xml' files to deselect 'Check for updates automatically' under 'iTunes' - Menu 'Edit'- 'Preferences' - 'General'.

Doing this deselects 'Check for updates automatically', but doesn't disable 'Check for updates' under the 'Help' Menu.

Does anyone know if this is possile? I don't think it is...

Cheers.
