best way to install software via OSD standalone that requires an absolute path

[P@docIT]

I am trying to add a TS step that will install email encryption for Outlook 2010. There is an unattended install file associated with it "install.iss" In order to use the .iss file you need to use a switch of /f1 "absolute path to iss file". I tried creating a package with a program but had no success with that. If you have a use toolkit package step in the setup win and configmgr step is that loaded then for the rest of the TS? If so,Could I use that toolkit package and just place the iss file in my customscripts folder and use %deployroot%\scripts\customscripts\install.iss as my absolute path and would the run command line have to be right after the use toolkit step? I need it to happen after Office 2010 is installed.

 

Hopefully that all made sense.

 

Thanks,

Mike

 

from the Cisco Iron Port manual:

Cisco IronPort recommends you enter an absolute path if you use the /f1 option to change the path and file name.

 

Test the response file by running the installer on your local computer. To do this, run the following from the command line:

C:\Users\user1\Desktop\CiscoEmailSecurity.7.1.0.34.exe /s /v /qn /f1"C:\install_034.iss"

 

/s - causes setup.exe to be silent,

 

/v - passes parameters to MSI package, and

 

/qn - causes everything but setup.exe to be silent

 

/f1 - causes the program to use response file located here.

Just put the iss file in the same folder as the setup.exe and kick the setup of with also /SMS specified. By doing that it will pick up the iss file automatic.

from memory...

 

setup.exe /s setup.iss to install silently using the setup.iss file

 

setup.exe /r setup.iss to record the settings you want automatically done in the above step

You're right... I forgot the /S... I thought it was there... I think I type a lot slower then I think

The /SMS is also needed, specificly for deploying with SMS/SCCM.
