deploy activinspire via mdt

[round2it]

Anyone got a guide on how to get the msi for activ inspier and the 64bit driver and pipe it into mdt with silent switches

does it require some c++ redist as well?

 

also how can i get it to register the serial number or will i have to put this in after the install

 

very new to mdt but this is my last piece of software to install and then i can start to deploy

Have you tried the solution here?

These are the scripts we use to successfully deploy the various components required by Promethean boards via SCCM:

 

@echo off
pushd %~sdp0

start /wait msiexec.exe /i "ActivInspire.msi" /qn /norestart

 

The board drivers:

 

@echo off
pushd %~sdp0

start /wait msiexec.exe /i "bc016a.msi" /qn /norestart

 

Board resources:

 

@echo off
pushd %~sdp0

start /wait msiexec.exe /i "ActivInspireMainRes.msi" /qn /norestart

i tried pushing my msi but without the wait command so this may be where i am messing up i will give it a try on monday

thanks

how do you licence your version of activinspire i have some serial numbers for each board so im presuming i need to visit each machine and register

It's so long since the boards were set up I can't recall how this works. I do recall going around to the whiteboard stations and licencing the software manually. That certainly changed at some time because the stations have been rebuild on numerous occasions without us having to do that any more.

 

Since that, long forgotten, change we have never made any changes to the deployment packages without issue from the boards.

 

This is what my deployment folder on the SCCM server looks like:

 

 

The contents of the .inspire_licence.xml file:

 

School NameSchool Academy Trust Name20 Digit Promethean Serial Number

 

Sorry I can't be more help but I really can't remember anything more. However, I will keep looking to see if I can find what I have forgotten.

Hi round2it,

 

On the Promethean support site are several resources for ActivInspire network install. This guide is a good starting point.

Thanks

Having the same problem here

 

I've tried with ActivInspire_en_GB_windows.exe /S /v/qn and ActivInspire.msi* /qn /norestart, both with a .inspire_licence.xml file that I've filled out (I assume, all I actually have is the serial number because I've inherited the network) in the same directory and neither works, and both methods still ask for registration details at launch.

 

The network install option also does not provide an ASTransGen.exe file to create a .mst
