Re: Install keeps on failing - Throw in your $ .02

In the past, I have had to write a wrapper script that kicks off the command
line and then waits for about ten minutes to give the software time to
install. If the install program extracts other programs, and then hands off
control to them, SMS will think it is finished, and disconnect the network
connection.

I have had more than a few bad experiences with Sametime. IBM products are
NOT your friend.

Does that commandline work outside of SMS?

I see a few potential trouble spots:

-the /lv to create the log file; I've had the log file creation fail
and throw an error when the folder I'm targetting to contain the log
file simply doesn't exist. So if c:\program files\ibm\sametime
connect doesn't already exist, it might fail.

- INSTALLDIR=\ , then the folder destination? I've never used \ after
the equal sign, I've always done INSTALLDIR="thefolder".
The same for STSILENTINIFILE=\, then the ini file.

- Do you have enough " ? It looks like you are missing 1.

- I don't know the contents of the silentinstall.ini; but perhaps
there is something in there.

PS... if that is an InstallShield, all of those MSI switches you have--
you can usually imbed those in the CMDLINE= line within the .ini ; you
don't have to pass them after the /v. You might be able to get away
with just .exe /S , if you put everything after the /V in the .ini's
CMDLINE= line.

Never heard of this one before. The package CMD line is:

sametime-connect-win-7.5.1.exe /S /V /Lv "C:\Program Files\IBM\Sametime
Connect\ST751InstallLOG.txt" /qn INSTALLDIR=\ "C:\Program
Files\IBM\Sametime
Connect\" STSILENTINIFILE=\"silentinstall.ini\" STSILENTINSTALL=TRUE "

The Source Directory is 'Directory on Site Server.' The package is set to
run PerSys Unattended, Run Normal and after running No Action Required.
Runs
with Administrator rights, Runs with UNC name.

The exe and silentinstall.ini files are in the same directory. Can
anyone
think of a reason this is failing... Would greatly appreciate some
input.
