Software Deployment

Hi All,

Wish to get some ideas from you guys out there who has deployed the latest Quicktime 7.3.1 which fixes the latest security issues. I am quite new to packinging, so please be patient with me.

I have about 300 machines to deploy to and I have all sorts of issues with the packaging and there is no documentation from the apple website.

This is what I've done so far.

1. I have extracted the quicktime_installer.exe file by running the program and copying the files from the temp folder.
   
2. 3 files were found. AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi, Quicktime.msi and QuicktimeInstallerAdmin.exe
   
3. If I run the Quicktime.msi file manually, there is an option for me to de-select "Automatically update quick time and other Apple software".
   
4. I deselect it and progress with the install. Once finished, I rebooted my PC and start Quicktime. It still trying to connect to the internet and in the preference, the "Check for update automatically" still ticked.

Problems so far:

1. How to disable automatically check for update since the QTP file no longer exist in ALL USER profiles.
   
2. What's the best way to deploy to 300 XP workstations via SMS2003.
   
3. If I run the MSI in silent mode, there is no options to deselect the "auto update" as specify above (3).
   
4. I've look at the MSI in FlexAdminStudio (SMS Edition) Tuner and there is no options for preference settings.

Help is very much appreciated.
