Software Deployment

OK, what you need to do is download the MindManager X5 Pro Admin setup. This will allow you to do a full silent install.

ftp://ftp2.mindjet.com/download/MindManager_X5.1.220_Pro_ENG_Admin.zip

Also, info on silent installs can be found in the Large Scale deployment manual. Make sure that you use the MSI file, it will require the installshield script but it works well. I managed an Active Directory deployment via GPO with that.

Large scale deployment documentation can be found at

Thanks for your help it works fin

Hi xemot,

Have you managed to get this working. I extracted and created a MST but it will not deploy via SMS. Any ideas?

The only extra step other than what is listed above was to make sure you deploy the ISSCript8.msi to the machine before the MSI and MST. Otherwise it will not know how to process the installshield script to install the application.

Will the app install if the installscript dependency is removed? IE can I cut out the installshield custom actions?

I want to avoid installing multiple version of the installscript engine....
