MSI and SCCM

[steven]

Hi,
I'm using IA Studio 9 R2 SP1( build Moya ) to produce an MSI installer to be deployed with Microsoft SCCM 2007 .
The issue is that after the software distribution the installer is installed but does't appear in the program's list .
The same operation using the exe installer works .
In the IA project I've forced the variable ALLUSERS=TRUE and creating the MSI in the group policy ALLUSERS=1 is repeated but the installation by SCCM is not correct , the issue can be reproduced using PsExec , is the same.
Creating the MSI using a free tool like AdvancedInstaller the Software Distribution works, so I think that the issue is inside IA when the MSI is created.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Ste

Dear Steven,

could you post a minimal project that reproduce the issue?
I will try to verify what happen using PSEXEC with my test environment.

PS.
Along with the project please include the builded package also.

Let me know.

Regards.

Dear Francesco,

Waiting your answer we've download the IA rel 15, using this release the msi works, now we're considering to buy it.
Thanks,

Dear Steven,

you just anticipated what I was supposing to do.
If with your test you already found that using IA 15 your msi works fine ... I m really sorry but I can't do much more actually.

Now we've another issue with the IA15 :
running the MSI in silent mode the package is installed only for the Administrator and not for ALLUSERS , the syntax for the installation tests are :

PSEXEC -i -s MSIEXEC IA_package.msi ---> pkg installed for users and administrator , works fine
PSEXEC -i -s MSIEXEC IA_package.msi /q ---> silent mode, pkg not installed
PSEXEC -i -h MSIEXEC IA_package.msi /q ---> silent mode, pkg installed only for administrator

This issue is very urgent, If we don't find a solution I can't buy the IA15 , I'm sorry but we've to find another installer ....

If you want i can send you the IA project by ftp , what's your email addr ?

Dear Steven,

although I sent you an email response, I believe that this could be of interest for other users.

The correct syntax to use in order to run the MSI package under SYSTEM ACCOUNT for all users in SILENT mode is:
- psexec -i -s msiexec.exe /i <msi_package> CMDLINE="ALLUSERS=TRUE" /quiet
