machine do not have the particular version, then installation will start

Hi,

First of all, noone will make such as script for you.
If you had read the READ ME FIRST post then you would have known where to start (since you say you have no idea where to start)...

When you have tried a little own your own and need more specific help ppl here will gladly help you.

Second of all, deciding what computer needs what software is what you use collections and querys in SMS for.
You can also link installations and do lots of neat stuff with it, if you already havnt i would recommend you attend one of Microsofts courses. It is worth it.
And you or someone in your organisation should learn MSI-packaging, that way you could repackage any program for silent unattended installations

Hope this helps

Thank You crazymatt!

I was an SMS admin for years, people need to learn what they need to know, make mistakes and learn from them.

LEARNING is life long, it doesn't end when you get the diploma.

Hi.

Thanks for your reply.

i have developed script.but problem is not able to find silent installation via vbscript.i have command line switches and it is working fine using cmd prompt.(standalone machine).But using script does not support the same command line.

i will send my script and command line details.

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
Set objNetWork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
strComputer = "."
const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002
strComputer = "."
Set objReg=GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\"& strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")
Computername= objNetWork.computername
strKeyPath = "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\"
objReg.EnumKey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, strKeyPath, arrSubKeys
blnVcplus = false
blnOWC = false
blnDotnet = false
'blnXml = false
For Each subkey In arrSubKeys
Select case subKey

'For VC++
case "{A49F249F-0C91-497F-86DF-B2585E8E76B7}"
  blnVcplus = true

'For OWC
case "{90260409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0050048383C9}"
  blnOWC = true

'For Dotnet
case "{7131646D-CD3C-40F4-97B9-CD9E4E6262EF}"
  blnDotnet = true
'For Xml
'case "{716E0306-8318-4364-8B8F-0CC4E9376BAC}"
  'blnXml = true

end select
next
If blnVcplus = false Then
RunInstaller("""C:\Documents and Settings\134520\Desktop\working\vc++""")
End If

If blnOwc = false Then
RunInstaller("""C:\Documents and Settings\134520\Desktop\working\owc10.exe""")
End If
If blnDotnet = false Then
RunInstaller("""C:\Documents and Settings\134520\Desktop\working\dotnet""")
End If
'If blnDotXML = false Then
'RunInstaller("""C:\Documents and Settings\134520\Desktop\working\XML""")
'End If
set arrSubKeys=nothing

Function RunInstaller(installerPath)
Dim fso, sh, r, s, pe,wshshell
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Set wshShell = WScript.CreateObject ("WSCript.shell")
wshshell.run """C:\Documents and Settings\134520\Desktop\working\WindowsInstaller.exe""", 6, false
wshshell.run installerPath, 6, false
set wshshell = nothing
End Function

Command line switches for my pre-requisites.

.net2.0 -
dotnetfx.exe /q:a /c:"Install /q"
vc++
"VCREDI~1.EXE" /q:a /c:"msiexec /i vcredist.msi /qb!"
OWC10
owc10.exe /q:a /c:"msiexec /i owc10se.msi /qb!"
xml4.0

msiexec /i msxml4.msi /qn

kindly please provide your solution.
thanks,
N.senthil

First of all, you have to be able to install the program you want to install unattended. If that is not possible VbScript wont help much. (It would maybe be possible to make vbscript press the buttons during installation for you, but that no good if the user works on the computer at the same time for example). Its then better to make a MSI of the installation. (If you dont have that knowlegde yourself i would buy it from someone, usually not that expensive).

But if the program have to option to install unattended there is no need for vbs if you use SMS.
For example i use the following option in SMS in the "command line" on the program when installing net framework 2.0:

dotnetfx.exe /q:a /c:"msiexec /q /l %windir%\temp\dotnetfx20.log /i netfx.msi USING_EXUIH=1 REBOOT=ReallySuppress"

And if you only want to install to computers that dont already have it installed i would suggest you make a query/collection to get that information.

For more information about SMS and installation i would recommend www.myitforum.com

Hope this helps.
