More Silent Install switches

Stumbled upon a blog post at http://infotech.lakeviewchurch.org/2010/01/06/deploying-microsoft-windows-7-mdt-2010-aik-2010/ detailing some more silent install switches for some more common apps.  Figured I’d copy them over and provide a reference link for my own future reference.

 

Adobe Reader 9.2
msiexec /i AcroRead.msi ALLUSERS=TRUE TRANSFORMS=AcroRead.mst /quiet
Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007
setup.exe
You can use the Office Products tab when editing the application definition to customize the app, or if you already have a .mst transform, put it in the Updates folder inside the Office installation structure and it will be automatically applied, no need to pass it in as an argument.
CDBurnerXP (the .msi, available as a separate download)
msiexec /i cdbxp_setup_4.2.7.1801.msi AI_DESKTOP_SH=0 AI_QUICKLAUNCH_SH=0 AI_STARTUP_SH=0 VIEWREADME=0 /qn
Pidgin
pidgin-2.6.4.exe /DS=0 /SMS=1 /S
LogMeIn Free (I’ll leave you to get it; the way I do it it prompts for the account to join it to after install, but it’s possible to find ways to make it auto-join to a LogMeIn.com account)
msiexec /i LogMeIn.msi /qn
Sunbelt Software VIPRE Enterprise (create MSI deployment files from the console)
MSIEXEC /I SBEAgent-ProfileNameHere.msi ALLUSERS=TRUE /quiet
7-Zip 32-bit (.msi is available if you dig on their site as a separate download, default for 32-bit is .exe)
msiexec /i 7z465.msi /qn
7-Zip 64-bit
msiexec /i 7z465-x64.msi /qn
Mozilla Firefox
Firefox Setup 3.5.5.exe -ms
Adobe Flash Player 10 for IE (ActiveX)
msiexec /i install_flash_player_10_active_x.msi /qn
Adobe Flash Player 10 for Firefox (Plugin)
msiexec /i install_flash_player_10_plugin.msi /qn
Java (get the FULL OFFLINE installer here) (thanks to Justin Moore for finding this one and commenting!)
jre-6u17-windows-i586-s.exe /s ADDLOCAL=ALL

Preboot environment

• Quick tip:  http://blogs.technet.com/teamdhcp/archive/2007/02/12/identify-a-pxeclient-bootp-and-assign-a-shorter-lease.aspx
• Enable shorter DHCP lease times.  Should help keep the DHCP scope a bit cleaner for the boot/build environment.
• Windows Server 2003 R2 has WDS included as a component add-in.  Insert the appropriate media to complete the installation.  Technet directions/guidance to install and configure can be found here:  http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc766320(WS.10).aspx
• Import a boot.wim file from Windows Vista or Seven media, then import the LiteTouchPE_x86.wim file.  I then disabled the boot.wim from Windows Seven media.

Back for More

Needing to play around with some WinXP and Win7 installs for my own sanity.  Need to have some success at something with MDT before I completely lose it.

So, have rebuilt the lab VPC 2007 environment.  Ready to check out where I left off and pick it back up again.  Dusting everything off has been a fun challenge.  Now to get some work done!
