In our office I deploy QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions 8.0 (18.0.4001.606) by using the following command line after Altiris Deployment Solution copies the CD's QBooks folder to the client machine:
Both lines will install the software silently. After this is done we still need to manually launch the application with any account to configure the application for the proper edition. To install patches we will use RunAs on the QuickBooks software and authenticate with an admin account.
If anyone knows how to use the SETUP.exe in the root of the CD, that process may allow for an upgrade of the older software but I needed to uninstall QbuickBooks enterprise Solutions 7.0 before installing QB ES 8.0.
