round2it Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 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
Rob_D Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 Have you tried the solution here? https://community.prometheanworld.com/forums/topic/silently-install-activinspire/ 1
6Foot2 Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 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 1
round2it Posted July 31, 2020 Author Posted July 31, 2020 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
6Foot2 Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 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.
DangPro Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 Hi round2it, On the Promethean support site are several resources for ActivInspire network install. This guide is a good starting point. https://support.prometheanworld.com/wp-content/uploads/dlm_uploads/ActivInspire-Network-Installation-Guide.pdf Thanks
Garacesh Posted September 2, 2020 Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) 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 * Generated via the Network Install option Edited September 2, 2020 by Garacesh
