Installing Macromedia Studio through Impero

[tomgrindle]

Hi,

 

Was wondering if anyone can help me?

 

We are still running Macromedia Studio MX 2004. Usually we install this through a Ranger package but we would like to retire ranger if we can as we have found alternatives for all the Ranger does ... apart from installing some applications.

 

I had read that you could install applications that you haven't got MSI's for through command line using Impero. I have tried this but have had no luck. Could someone please help?

 

This is where the installer is located on our Applications server:

 

\\\Programs\ICT Admin\Installs\Macromedia\StudioMX2004\Install Studio MX 2004.exe

 

I am just unsure as to what switches I would use etc?

 

Any help is gratefully received.

 

Many Thanks

 

Tom

I believe you need to extract the main installer and then create a response files. I think this will work based on dreamweaver however think will work for Studio as well...

 

AppDeploy > Package Knowledgebase > Dreamweaver MX 2004

 

[TABLE=width: 100%]

[TR]

[TD=colspan: 3]Extract Setup Routine from wrapper 'DW_Client_Installer.exe' by running it and grabbing the directory Disk1 from Temp.

Then you can use legacy InstallShield Commands

 

Record response file (%WinDir%\setup.iss):

setup.exe /r

 

Silent install with response file:

setup.exe /s /f1"path\to\setup.iss"[/TD]

[/TR]
