Software Deployment

Building a package for SCCM deployment for NetIQ AppManager Control Center. There are several components to install, but we're only concerned with installing the console component, and it's going to be pushed to our Windows XP desktops (not servers). There's the application, and then a Service Pack 1 update. I've got the application packaged to silently install, but I'm having trouble getting the Service Pack 1 update to install silently.

There's a small client-provided file called AM704_Update_Setup.exe, that in turn calls a larger exe of the same name in a "Setup Files" folder. Also in the Setup Files folder are some exes that look like the do some pre-requisite system checks and a couple DLL files.

I found I could throw some parameters at the larger exe and install it successfully (but not silently) like this [font="times new roman"](I added the ISSETUPDRIVEN=1 to get past the dialog telling me the install had to be run from setup.exe):

"C:\Setup Files\AM704_Update_CCSetup.exe" /vISSETUPDRIVEN=1/l*v"C:\NetIQSP1.log" /q
[font="times new roman"]But as soon as I add the /S flag, which the exe says it accepts, the install doesn't work. The exe appears to run just the same as without the /S flag, but the Control Center version doesn't update, so I know the install didn't really work.

[font="times new roman"]I also tried grabbing all the extracted files from the original exe, which showed me files I would expect to see from an InstallShield installation, such as a setup.ini file and ISScript1150.Msi. There's also a .MSP file that I tried using as my starting point. But using the below command resulted in an error: "Error 1001. Service IISADMIN was not found on computer".

msiexec /p C:\extracted\AM704_Update_CCSetup.msp ISSETUPDRIVEN=1 /l*v c:\extracted\NETIQSP1.LOG

[font="times new roman"]I'm stumped as to what to try next, other then attempt to repackage it using InstallShield, although that's not going to tell me what exactly is wrong with my current method, and I'd like to learn how to fix it if possible.
