Arthur Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 No I can't. Site blocked I have updated the link. It shouldn't be blocked now.
Garacesh Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 Yep, got it. So many transforms O_O I'll give it a try.
Garacesh Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 Okay, so that works if I run the install script, but not if I assign it in GPO with the transform included.. Progress, at least.
Arthur Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 but not if I assign it in GPO with the transform included. What happens if you change the language code in the MSIs to 1033 or 0? I didn't do that in my MSIs since SCCM doesn't have any problems installing QuickTime.
Garacesh Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 Nada. We don't use SCCM here, all of our software is either part of the MDT image or installed through policy. Event viewer shows the same errors as earlier, %%1274 and %%2 msiexec /a "\\path\to\AppleApplicationSupport.msi" transforms="\\path\to\AppleApplicationSupport.mst" after a minute or so opens a box saying it has installed successfully, but does not show in Programs and Features. msiexec /a "\\path\to\QuickTime.msi" transforms="\\path\to\QuickTime.mst" brings up 'Preparing to Install' and then nothing. Both msi's are currently set to language 0 I am applying the transform correctly, right? New, Package, find AppleApplicationSupport,msi, Assigned, Modifications tab, add, AppleApplicationSupport.mst, same thing for QuickTime?
Arthur Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) msiexec /a "\\path\to\AppleApplicationSupport.msi" transforms="\\path\to\AppleApplicationSupport.mst" after a minute or so opens a box saying it has installed successfully, but does not show in Programs and Features. msiexec /a "\\path\to\QuickTime.msi" transforms="\\path\to\QuickTime.mst" brings up 'Preparing to Install' and then nothing. "msiexec /a" is used for creating admin installs. Shouldn't you be using "msiexec /i" to actually install the software? Edited June 9, 2015 by Arthur
Garacesh Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 I have no idea, should I? xD I thought /a was 'Administrative install' i.e. 'Perform the install with administrative permissions'?
sted Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 I have no idea, should I? xD I thought /a was 'Administrative install' i.e. 'Perform the install with administrative permissions'? no /a creates an administrative install point (if msi supports it) so instread of 1 100mb msi file say you get a smaller msi file and the contents of the program files directory sorry diddnt see that with a lot of msi's /a does jack all but if it does work often makes deployments work better you want /i and to do sensible testing /qb or /qn at the end to fully simulate gpo (/qb shows a progress bar /qn shows nada)
Garacesh Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) Oooooooh. My bad! Technet simply says "/a Applies the administrative installation option.".. Not terribly descriptive. AppleApplicationSupport /qb has worked. /qn did not. Perhaps worth noting (or perhaps not, dunno) that when I did /qb it required administrative authentication (UAC prompt), though that might have been because I wasn't running cmd as an administrator. Same with QuickTime. However, using /qb and approving UAC has resulted in it installing successfully. I wouldn't even mind, but our users won't even use QuickTime. We have VLC here. The problem is if they want to ember embed iPad-created videos into PowerPoint etc, it needs QuickTime to do that Edited June 9, 2015 by Garacesh
Garacesh Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 @Athur most bizarre thing ever. Tried your QuickTime fixes on a test machine, and what do you know, it actually worked! Pulled a laptop into the same OU and it didn't.. I have no idea what could be getting in the way..
