Hello all,

I have an agent I need to install on all of our systems.  I've been able to push out software using the Software Delivery portion and creating a policy.  This piece of software is a little different in that when you install it the software looks for an .INI file that has some settings it uses to connect to the cloud.  If you just run locally on a machine that INI has to be in the same file location as the MSI or EXE when you install it.  Is there a way to accomplish this type of install through Altiris 7.6?  I've only setup software via the Software Library option as the source.  Maybe the way to go would be going via directory from Notification Server?  Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated.

Add the ini file while adding the MSI, they will then be downloaded to the same folder before the MSI is triggered for install.

Thanks for the help.  I'll give that a try.  Appreciate it.

Where do I add the ini file?  When I first select the Package contents do I choose both the MSI and INI at the same time?  Or would it be after I create the package in the File Inventory Tab?  Thanks again for the help.

Hi,

When you first select the package contents you should select both files.
File Inventory tab is for physical files (you may create detection rule based on inventoried files from this tab).

Also you should change the Command line to use both files.

Regards,
Dmitri

Thanks Dmitri.  I went ahead and selected both and now see that both files are in the location where it created the software resource.  What would be the command line to make sure it uses the file?  Thanks again for the help.

that(the command line syntax) would be a function of the software itself and not altiris.  if it automatically uses the ini if its in the same folder it should just work.
