automate installation

[ketter]

Is there a method for automating the installation? Maybe some command line switches? I use Novell Zenworks Configuration Management software to do installs and I would like to use it to push Archive To Go to my users, but the install has questions that need answered. Thanks.

Hello and thank you for your message. You should be able to achieve the silent installation using the following MSI command line switch: /q or /quiet.

For example:

archive2go.msi /q
archive2go.msi /quiet

You may find it helpful to review the full list of available command-line options with Windows Installer:

Note: You can also place the license file in the same folder as the archive2go.msi installer and it will automatically license the end user during the installation process.

As a ZENworks user, You may also wish to review BundleCommander: http://www.bundlecommander.com/

We hope this helps address your requirement.

Thanks. That should do it.

Just as a follow-up, I also use Bundle Commander. But for Archive To Go, I was able to create a fairly simple ZCM Bundle that installs everything just the way I want it. I installed the msi with the /passive switch and included the license file. I also pushed out the config file created with the Admin Wizard. Works great! Thanks!
