Esm Sotware

[storkyIV]

Hi guys,

 

I have a really really annoying problem!

 

I need to install esm administrator on 70 machines in one of our IT suites. Edexcel have released an msi (which can be retrieved by decompressing the .exe file) however, I can't figure out an effective way to point the installer to the shared folder that is required by the program.

There is a command that can be used if you were installing the software manually (e.g msiexec.exe /qb /I "C:\New MSI's\Administrator.msi" DATAPATH=H:\test_center)

However I can't figure out how to automate this to be deployed via group policy, say in the form of a transform file.

 

I have tried to build an msi from the exe, but this throws up an error that promissor is unable to determine version number.

 

Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Looks like you need a transform to apply at the same time which will set the DATAPATH= value for you.

Is there a way or a program to actually build a transform file?

Orca is one such tool.
