mjs_mjs Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Hi, does anyone know if mst's exist for the following? webplus 10 pageplus x2 drawplus x2 photoplus 11 movieplus 5 I've had a quick google and searched on here but couldn't find anything, also looked on serif. Does anyone else use them on CC4, if so how did you package them?
Pumaedition Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 mst's? Serif do have MSI's that you can use. They are included on the disks from Serif. Haven't installed them on a CC4 network, but they have worked across our system perfectly.
pete Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 The .msi's are available from Serif (should be on the cds) and there's a tool to create pre-serialised admin install points on the cds as well.
mjs_mjs Posted November 5, 2009 Author Posted November 5, 2009 No i have the msi's, i'm after the transform files to go with them.
DAZZD88 Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 AFAIK there are no MST's for them. Which is really unfortunate as when doing a GPO install using the MSI it doesn't include the tutorials. We find this to be a major PITA
mjs_mjs Posted November 5, 2009 Author Posted November 5, 2009 It's really annoying, we need to install the resources to a shared location (disk space is tight). Anyone know how we can do this?
DAZZD88 Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 We use the serif apps. Basically you have to do a network install, it asks you the install questions and generates the MSI's for you on the network share. These can then be used to install via a GPO and do in fact work quite well. Thats how I have allways done them, and allways install from them as its all preconfigured. Ah yes, now I remember. The previous network installation was done by another tech not me. I seem to remember it did ask me how to configure it. Hmm...it seems my HDD (brain) is corrupting information. Lol.

Can you explain to me what tools you used to do this?
gjdb Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 How about making your own MST with a tool like InstallTailor.
Guest TheLibrarian Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 May the IT Gods strike down upon Symantec with great vengeance and furious anger they who buy up freeware and charge for it. InstallTailor is no longer free.
tmcd35 Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 May the IT Gods strike down upon Symantec with great vengeance and furious anger Can I second this motion?
gjdb Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 May the IT Gods strike down upon Symantec with great vengeance and furious anger they who buy up freeware and charge for it. InstallTailor is no longer free. You`re right about that, but the previous version(s) is still available and useable.
Guest TheLibrarian Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 You`re right about that, but the previous version(s) is still available and useable. Hallelujah you are right! Here's a (currently) working link. Citrix Things! - Install Tailor 6 - Citrix Things
