Enterprise Install Sourcepath change
I've been tasked with relocating my package installation sharepoint to another server. This sharepoint has been in place for a while and has many packages that have been deployed to apx. 600+ workstations. I don't have any type of SMS server/client tool, and I've been deploying all of my applications with login scripts. This is going to break self-healing and advertised feature installs for all of the programs I've published on this sharepoint.
I know there are source path keys on my workstations in the following locations:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products\<GUID>\Net
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Installer\Products\<GUID>\Net
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products\<GUID>\Net
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\Userdata\<SID>\Products\<GUID>\InstallProperties
What I don't know is if there is a specific search order in which these keys are processed, or if there is a clientless tool I can use to change these keys on all my workstations. Has anyone out there undertaken something like this, and what did you do to make it work? Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
Cheers!
