Installing Airserver via GPO - Can't get Bonjour msi working

[mikkydoos]

Hey all,

 

 

Just testing installing Airserver via GPO. It requires Apple Bonjour Print Services (or iTunes) installed also.

 

I can't get my Bonjour msi working. Has anyone created an .msi of Bonjour Print Services successfully that will work with AirServer??

 

I really don't want to install iTunes on my client PC's.

 

 

 

Cheers in advance

I just extracted the bonjourpssetup.exe and used the bonjour msi in that

Was doing this earlier but in PDQ not GPO. These are my steps and it installs fine:-

 

1) Uninstall Apple Update Software

MsiExec.exe /qn /X{6956856F-B6B3-4BE0-BA0B-8F495BE32033} /norestart

MsiExec.exe /qn /X{789A5B64-9DD9-4BA5-915A-F0FC0A1B7BFE} /norestart

 

2) Kill iTunes

%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\taskkill.exe /f /im iTunes.exe /im iTunesHelper.exe /im QuickTimePlayer.exe

 

3) Install VB 2015

vc_redist.x86.exe /quiet /norestart

 

4) Install Bonjour

msiexec.exe /i "Bonjour.msi" ALLUSERS=1 /qn /norestart /log output.log IAcceptLicense=Yes

 

5) Install AirServer

AirServer-4.0.31-x86.exe /install /quiet /norestart

 

6) Disable Update Check

ECHO OFF

REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Apple Computer, Inc.\iTunes\Parental Controls\Default" /v AdminFlags

IF ERRORLEVEL == 1 (

ECHO Disable Update Checks

REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Apple Computer, Inc.\iTunes\Parental Controls\Default" /v AdminFlags /t REG_DWORD /d 257 /f

) ELSE (

echo AdminFlags value already exists. Will not overwrite

)

 

7) Stop iTunesHelper

%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\taskkill.exe /f /FI "USERNAME eq %USERNAME%" /im iTunesHelper.exe

 

Hope that helps

I tried that and it does install but AirServer reports that Bonjour isn't installed - even though it is. I did the accept license etc with an .mst transform.

 

Tried Bonjour.msi and Bonjour64.msi

I seem to remember having to change the setting in Bonjour's msi to ignore the language. Once that was done, it installed fine for Airserver.

+1 for what @tomearnshaw said. I've had a few apps over the years that defaulted to Taiwanese and didn't like installing via GPO unless you set language to ignore

[mikkydoos]

OK Solved...

 

This works well....

 

 

Bonjour.msi

 

In Microsoft Orca, open the Bonjour.msi file, Go to View -> Summary Information and remove all languages except for 1033. Click OK and then save over the original.

 

Go to Transform -> New Transform, and then make the following modifications:

 

- Property -> IAcceptLicense: Set Value to Yes.

- LaunchCondition -> NOT BNEWERPRODUCTISINSTALLED: Drop this row.

- Shortcut -> Drop all rows.

 

Generate the transform (.mst file), Transform -> Generate Transform, and save.

 

Add to .msi.

 

 

Thanks for the comments all

I couldn't get C++ to work @stgoodyeara.

 

It installed but didn't work with AirServer. Don't know why... looked good from the logs.

 

Any method I've tried from the 'net doesn't work either.

 

Its installed as part of my deployment image now.

 

I went around and did it manually. Bl@@dy Microsoft !

 

EDIT: One thing I didn't try which has just occurred to me is to deploy it from WSUS.

 

Can you do that ??

No idea, its possible i guess.

 

Ive found loads of docs about deploying the 2012 and 2013 veriants of C++ but they dont work when applied to the 2015 version.
