HI
We wish to install NetAdvantage for .NET 2011 Vol 1 via SCCM. I've downloaded the Complete bundle today and ran 'NetAdvantage_Ultimate_20111.exe' with a /? switch, which shows the command line options. So far, so good.
Unfortunately, some of these option appear to have no effect. These are:
/thirdparty /nofeedback /product
Not being able to select the products is a show-stopper. The following appear to work:
/key /logfolder
I'll also need to use this switch, but haven't yet tried it:
/passive
And tgis one is an unknowwn:
/nodownload
Has anyone else come accross this issue? Is there a sample command line that I compare to see if I'm missing something. I'm familiar with MST files so I could go down that route and use the MSIs directly, but I'd prefer to stick with the vendor supplied solution if possible
Hello,
Here is a sample command line that will select particular products to install, agree to the third party agreements, and display the progress bar as each installer is run:
NetAdvantage_Ultimate_20111.exe /product:Windows_Forms_Controls,WPF_Controls,Silverlight_Controls /thirdparty /passive
How does the sample /product switch compare to yours? Also, are you specifying one of the quiet options on the command line (/quiet, /qn, or /passive)? That may help with the problems in getting the particular products selected.
If you can provide a sample command line that you are experiencing the issues with, with any private information such as your product key taken out, we can see if there are any issues in how it's constructed or how it runs.
Thanks Brian
At the initial testing stage, I was doing it without any of the quiet switches (passive, quiet or qn), but the dialogues weren't indicating any of the options I was including at the command line. When I let it run throught the install when using a quiet switch I can see that it was now including them.
I did notice that the setup exe was displaying a big command box on the screen, which the user could close, so what I've actually ended up doing is grabbing the log files from a setup exe install, identifying the properties being passed to each msi, and then installing the msi file directly (in the same order) using msixec and the relevant command line.
Many thanks for your help, and consider this question answered.
Hi
Thank you for the feedback. We will be fixing command window which shows up during silent installations for 11.2 version onwards. That will help everyone to install products completely silent so that it can be installed using SCCM task sequences.
