Help with Silent/unattended Installs
Updated: 21 May 2010 | 4 comments
This issue has been solved. See solution.
When deploying Software Packages how can I run a non-rapidinstall or PC transplant package without needed user interaction?
IE: Install_Flash_player.exe, it installs automatically but needs a user on the other end to hit 'close' before the operation is complete and it allows the next scheduled job to proceed.
Obviously I am very new with this program.
Thank you in advance.

You need to DL the Flash
You need to DL the Flash player MSI installer and run it in silent mode.
Silent install
I don't know that particullar install file, but most install files can be run silent in some way. Try running the file with a /? like this:
Install_Flash_player.exe /?
That should normally show you the options. The same goes for MSI files. Some installers needs an answer file. But also Google is your friend for some programs... try: Silent install Flash player or what ever you want to install :)

For that one in particular it looks like i can fill out a form to get the msi and that will work, I was wondering if there was a general way to do that for any .exe file where maybe the msi was not available. Through scripting or something.
There are a couple of different ways to tackle this
There are a few different ways to handle deploying flash via a silent install.
1.) Apply for "Adobe Player Licensing" (http://www.adobe.com/products/players/fpsh_distrib...)
This will allow you do download EXE and MSI versions of the Flash installer. It also gives you resources on how to deploy Flash in your environment (including a slient install).
2.) You can download Flash from adobe.com and run this script:
install_flash_player.exe /S

3.) You can create a layer:
This is option that I would go with. That way you don't have to worry about installing and configuring the software.
Good luck with the install.
