WJEC Secure client install how to on RM CC4?

[Grazza]

Hi all,

 

Has anybody had any success installing the WJEC Secure Client on RM CC4 Networks.

 

I have tried to build the package as you have to edit the text file with the proxy settings, but it always fails on the Second Scan as it seams to be pulling in all sorts of .net framework stuff, which produces a long enough path as to not to work !

 

Regards

Do you have the MSI or is it an exe file?

Do you have the MSI or is it an exe file?

 

It's am MSI, but from what I remember it trys to install into C:\USERS\JONES.G

But I've been Installing it to go into program files as everywhere else is blocked from running software.

There is also a text/xml file that has to be altered once installed, to set the proxy server details.

We had to set that horrible thing up this year as well, luckily we switched over from RM last year but it was still a headache!

Any chance of me downloading the MSI so I can have a play,

You could possibly use Orca to make an MST to change the default install directory.

 

The file that needs to be changed could be done using Advanced Installer. Get the software silently installing using the MSI and MST to program files (preferably to your computer). Make the changes to the text/xml file and make an additional MSI containing just that file (using advanced installer). Import that into RMMC as WJEC Secure Client Settings and make your original WJEC Secure Client package a dependency for it. What should happen is that the original package goes on with the wrong text/xml file and then the settings package will overwrite it.

 

It could be useful doing it this way if you are expecting to change ISP or proxy as you just need to update the settings package.

We gave up in the end and used PDQ deploy (Free) to deploy the MSI and then just replaced the proxy files remotely. Took about 10-15 mins a room. CC4 network as well.

How did it go with the package?

 

Any news?

[Grazza]

Is it done? Had no notifications or emails?

Sent you a link from dropbox yesterday around 3:30, just sent again to your e-mail that you gave me,

[Grazza]

Never had yesterdays, but have just had the new one, and have downloaded.

 

Will let you know how I get on.

 

Thanks again.

I seem to recall installing the original software on a (clean?) workstation. Create a package manually ... create folder "WJEC Client 1.0.0.0" or somesuch. From the station that you installed the software on copy the folder that it installed (SecureAssess Local - SecureClient WJEC) into the package file, create a package ini file in your package folder with the installer as "install.cmd"

 

The install.cmd contains the lines ...

@echo Off

copy /Y "SecureAssess Local - SecureClient WJEC" "%programfiles%\*.*"

 

Assign to a workstation and test.

Exactly what I did except I wrapped it all up in a neat msi with the CC4 package folder structure ready to import, it also uninstalls correctly through the CC4RMMC,

The secureclient doesn't actually write to registry, meaning you basically setup a working configuration and then package and distribute it. Personally, I use WinRAR and create an SFX package. Adding the /s installation command in the package properties after importing will make it install silently.
