| | Silent Installation of an msi installer file. Hi All, I have a product to install say "xyz.msi" - This is msi installer file. I need to do a silent installation on MS Window Vista Enterprise machine. I am asked to use the command { msiexec /qn /i "xyz.msi" } This installation need to be done by logging in to the machine as elevated administrator (User with a member of Admin group membership) as well as a Standard user (non admin user). UAC is enabled and all its corresponding settings are at its default level. Product is not getting installed at all ( i think it need admin rights to overcome the UAC dialog).. Now, I elevate my command prompt to an administrator using run as administrator option (Manually) and try to install the product - It gets installed successfully. ----This is way to do silent installation on MS Vista platform (Is this the functionality?). ---From Dev point of view is it possible to instanciate a command prompt with admin previlage automatically...... How my requirement is to do a silent installation using an SMS server through out an enterprise? I need to deploy this package automtically to all vista machies available on my enterprise. How to do the installation? what should I do to do this task? My question is "Is this task a valid scenario?". Thanks, |
