New section on the wiki regarding Educational software

[ChrisH]

ChrisH I would just like to say a big thankyou I have just finished a 7zip silent installer and all went well. I will now try wrapping it into a msi and roll it out through GPO.

 

I never realised how to create an answer file for install shield installs and I think you have probably helped more people on this site than just me.

 

Thanks very much

 

Tis no problem. Its a good record for me as well as I had about 10 attempts at the command line before I got it right last night. Its the f1 switch that is a pain.

I may do a few more things this weekend if its raining and I cant go out on my bike .

ChrisH I would like to reopen this post, with another question that is on the same lines so I will continue here.

 

I have the silent installers runnining as part of my RIS install from the RunOnceEx all works fine apart from my Autoit script to open and close flash, my reg file is not imported till later on so flash at the point I call it is still not registered. I know the obvious answer is to import the reg file earlier in the process, but I would just like to see how you and other members achieve this.

[ChrisH]

You have answered your own question The item before I open flash is the registry merge to register it

 

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")


RegKey = "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\Flash\7\Registration\"
WSHShell.RegWrite regkey & "Serial Number", "your-key-here", "REG_SZ"

Is it me or is it impossible to add to the wiki? I can't find a way to register after clicking the login/register link.

 

Is the registration process closed or something?

 

I have recently been put in charge of software deployment at a school containing roughly 700-800 PC's and am currently battling through a horde of funtastic educational software installers! Let me contribute!

There was a shed load of problems with the wiki being spammed to heck n' back so they locked it down some..

 

If you try emailing via the contact form someone will surely pass it on so you can get access.

Could there be a new section on the wiki that just shows online/cloud-based software?
