Bulding a Custom Install of SVS for Your Environment

tfronza's picture

Just a quick time saver... When doing an enterprise install of SVS it is waaay easy to run the command line install for it. Here's the command line I use:

msiexec.exe /qb? /i Software_Virtualization_Agent.msi REBOOT=ReallySuppress PRODUCT_KEY=xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx INSTALL_ADMIN=1 ALTIRIS_NS=1

I drop the file using a Deployment Server job. I also -- on another machine -- create my exceptions and find the place where they are located in the registry. I then export the Registry Key and I drop the registry Key file to the machine during setup. Here is where the Exception is located in the registry...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Altiris\FSL\Exclude

Export this WHOLE key and then import it after your install (Using a free Registry importer like REG.exe) and then you have a Customized install with all YOUR exceptions. Makes upgrading a SNAP!
