  • 1.  Install to D:\ rather than C:\

    Posted Jan 20, 2011 07:24 AM

    Hello,

    I need to install an Avamar Client MSI silently with no user input  via software delivery  to D:\ rather than C:\. This is an application installation on a server where the Drives  / partitions are C:\, D:\ and  E:\

    What is the best parameter   to use in the command line option within SWD Task, and example of how it should look would be really helpful.

    Thanks

    Radders :-)

    If it truly is an MSI, then you could try using the TARGETDIR property.  Your command line would look something like this:

     

    NameOfSoftware.msi /i /qn TARGETDIR="D:\MyTargetDirectory" REBOOT="ReallySupress"

    In NS6, you still need to specify msiexec.exe /i ...., otherwise the SWD task will fail with some big ugly -2101230090 err similar number which per Microsoft (not) translates to "You need to specify the .exe to run first, dummy"! laugh
