Installing SMART Gallery content via MDT

[elliottmarter]

Has anyone got this working?

 

I have a PDQ package that works, I used the smart install manager to create an .mst which references a folder ".\gallery content" which is in the same folder as the MSI and the MST. when PDQ installs the software it just works and the gallery content is there.

 

msiexec.exe /i "SMART Education Software 2013.msi" ALLUSERS=1 /qn /norestart TRANSFORMS="MySettings.mst"

 

I am trying the same approach within MDT so the gallery content gets installed along with the app during the deployment, not having much luck however

 

I tried just emulating the exact same approach, make the target dir the folder with the MSI, MST and the gallery content folder and then make the command line the same as the above line in italics. this didnt work (SMART installed fine but no gallery content)

 

I have just now tried modifying the MST to reference the full UNC path so "\\MDT\DeploymentShare$\Applications\Smart\Gallery Content" and again, smart installs without any issue but no gallery content to be found.

 

Little help please!

also as a side note, just running the "gallery setup.exe" in command line mode on a local machine with the gallery conent and configuration files all sitting locally on the desktop I cannot get it to do a damn thing!

 

first it says "could not find source"

 

then it says "could not load config"

 

then I says "--allowdownload" and it kind of does a few things and then gives up (it accepts the config though!!!)

 

here's a patebin of my cmd window so you can see what I am doing
