SCCM "capture" software install

[neonetman]

I have some pieces of music software that can't easily be silently installed (sibelius/cubase with all the addons), making it difficult to do a slim deployment of windows to these machines.

 

is there a method whereby I can effectively scan a PC before and after install to identify changes made (similar to an app-v setup), so I can package the results into an SCCM task sequence?

Wininstall LE used to be the one, this may work https://www.itninja.com/blog/view/how-to-use-the-appdeploy-repackager

Not 100% sure if the latest version of sibelius sounds works the same way but I used this method to export the sound files and registry key and fired off a powershell script to copy the files and apply the registry setting to clients.

 

I don't deploy sibelius any longer so sadly don't have the script but it was something simple like using robocopy to copy everything over and import the reg key at the end.

I know this is not exactly what you asked for but thought I would reply in-case it could be of any use. We have managed to automate both deployments to some degree. We use PowerShellAppDeployment toolkit for our SCCM packages.

 

This is what we do for our Sibelius 7 install. I'm not sure how the new version works though. Sibelius seems to deploy best for us when we set it to "only when no users are logged on"

 

#Install Sibelius        
Show-InstallationProgress -StatusMessage "Installing $installTitle (1/3)"        
Execute-Process -Path "Subject Software\Music\Sibelius\Sibelius713b77.exe" -Parameters '/LSINFO=*** /VERYSILENT /SKIPFILESINUSECHECK=yes'                

#Move sound files to local machine        
Show-InstallationProgress -StatusMessage "Installing $installTitle (2/3)"        
Copy-File -Path "Subject Software\Music\Sibelius\Sibelius Sounds" -Destination "C:\Program Files (x86)\Avid\" -Recurse        

#Set Registry Keys        
Show-InstallationProgress -StatusMessage "Installing $installTitle (3/3)"        
Set-RegistryKey -Key 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Avid\'        
Set-RegistryKey -Key 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Avid\Sibelius Sounds'         
Set-RegistryKey -Key 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Avid\Sibelius Sounds\Sibelius 7 Sounds'         
Set-RegistryKey -Key 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Avid\Sibelius Sounds\Sibelius 7 Sounds\ContentPath' -Name '(Default)' -Value 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Avid\Sibelius Sounds\Sibelius 7 Sounds'

For Cubase, This is for version 10.5. This seems to work best for us when we deployed "when user is logged on"

For HALion 6 we use the following. This seems to work best for us when we deployed "when user is logged on"

Okay - I've managed to get that all working, however I'm struggling to get the eLicenser software to do a silent install - it still pops up asking me to trust Steinberg. Any thoughts on this? Edited November 18, 2020 by neonetman

[Dragnog]

We use certutil to install the certificate prior to starting the eLicenser install. This then allows eLicenser to complete the install silently.

 

Show-InstallationProgress -StatusMessage "Installing $installTitle"        
Execute-Process -Path "certutil.exe" -Parameters "-f -addstore -enterprise TrustedPublisher `"$fileStore/Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH Trust Certificate.cer`""        
Execute-Process -Path "$fileStore/eLicenserControlSetupV6.12.5.1278.exe" -Parameters '--mode unattended --unattendedmodeui none'

Thankyou - that's cubase and the e-licenser now installing correctly, however I'm still having an issue with Sibelius. I've setup the PSAppDeployToolkit and am trying to install it usign that however I'm getting an error on screen. Initially it referenced the '/qn' paramter as wrong, so I amended the install code to rmeove that parameter, and it then reference the LSINFo paramter (see below for code and error message)

 

Execute-Process -Path ‘Install_Sibelius.exe’ -Parameters ‘/s /v LSINFO=10.138.8.9’ -WindowStyle Hidden##Execute-Process -Path ‘Install_Sibelius.exe’ -Parameters ‘/s /v /qn LSINFO=10.138.8.9’ -WindowStyle Hidden

Does this help: http://www.edugeek.net/forums/how-do-you-do/204702-deploying-sibelius-2019-sccm.html

For Cubase, This is for version 10.5. This seems to work best for us when we deployed "when user is logged on"

 

Does anyone know if this code is also good for Cubase Elements 13? The e-licenser seems to have been discontinued now, so that's one hurdle avoided.
