Software Deployment

However, it's NOT possible to do everything you wan't (switch off aut. updates) with command line only. - andemats 12 years ago

Regarding the qtp file (to remove updates), it's located in the profile for each user. IIRC it's not possible to add the qtp file with an mst (if you've extracted and plan to run the msi).
Anyway, that should be covered in the Software repository. - andemats 12 years ago

hi guys,

im really struggling with automating the install of quicktime 7.7.2.

I am trying to automate the install for Windows 7 clients.


I've used ORCA to create a transform file (no desktop shortcuts and automatic updates), however, does not seem to work when trying to install with the /qn switch.

below is the command line i am using:

msiexec /i quicktime.msi TRANSFORMS=qt.mst /qn

if i remove the /qn switch it continues to install with all the usual options.

all i want to do is deploy quicktime with some tweaks...

also, do the rest of the extracted files (applesoftwareupdate.msi, appleapplicationsupport.msi etc) need to be present for quicktime to install.

Also, i tried the qtp method which seemed to work.

@SMal.tmcc - i tried your command line install also, however, this did not work with the /qn switch and also the tick is still present when going through the install steps.

Any additional help is appreciated guys.

Thanks for the replies.

From the link I provided earlier;

"The important part is the /QR
Using /QF instead will work too.

*GOTCHA: If you use a /QB or a /QN you will get this error.
?Error 1606.Could not access network location QTcomponents\.?

This is because the /QB and /QN switch suppresses the User Interface sequence. In this QT package, the INSTALLDIR property is set during this User Interface sequence. - andemats 12 years ago
