oskingen Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 (edited) To deploy Visual Studio 2008 in unattended mode, you must create the unattend file for the Visual Studio 2008 installation.You must create a unique .INI unattend file for each target operation system. For example, unattend file created for Windows XP would not be usable for Windows 2003 and vise versa.To do this, follow these steps:Step 1: Create Visual Studio unattended .ini fileInsert the Visual Studio 2008 DVD and ignore the autorun message. From the Start menu, choose Run. Type the following: <DVD-ROM drive>:\setup\Setup.exe /createunattend <path to VS2008 INI-file>D:\setup\setup.exe /createunattend c:\VS2008_deployment.iniOn the Options page, select the features intended to be deployed, and then click Save Settings Step 2: Create MSDN Studio unattended .ini fileFrom Run. Type the following: <DVD-ROM drive>:\msdn\setup\Setup.exe /createunattend <path to MSDN INI-file>D:\msdn\setup\setup.exe /createunattend c:\MSDN2008_deployment.iniOn the Options page, select the features intended to be deployed, and then click Save Settings Run Unattended SetupStep 1: Run unattended Visual Studio setup on a client machineVerify that Visual Studio 2008 is available on the network. From Run. Type the following: \\<servername>\VS2008\Setup\setup.exe /unattendfile <path to VS2008 INI-file>\\server\VS2008\Setup\setup.exe /unattendfile \\server\VS2008\VS2008_deployment.iniStep 2: Run unattended MSDN Library setup on a client machine (Optional)From Run. Type the following: \\<servername>\VS2008\msdn\Setup\setup.exe /unattendfile <path to MSDN INI-file>\\server\VS2008\msdn\Setup\setup.exe /unattendfile \\server\VS2008\MSDN2008_deployment.ini Edited May 20, 2008 by hannubys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9\[Product Name]\LogsAfter a Visual Studio failed installation or removal, the log files are left in the %temp% directory.

shauntr Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Normally after this tutorial everything sould be fine. If you have some error during setup, attach your log fileHi,I have already posted about a problem with VS 2005 Pro here http://www.msfn.org/board/Microsoft-Visual...l=Visual+StudioI have now moved onto VS 2008 Pro and am getting the exact same problem. It seems to be related to Windows Installer 3.1. Below is the last part of the log file. I can't attach my complete log file as when I hit the broswe button IE locks up (The machine I am writing this from is not the machine I am trying to deploy VS 2008 too )When I run the VS 2008 Setup manually it completes without any problems. I'm trying to install it onto a PC running Windows XP inc SP3. I have checked Event Viewer in the Application log it states: Product: Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition - ENU -- Installation completed successfully.I have just read Microsofts install guide again and found reference to Network paths not exceeding 39 characters. The path to the Windows 3.1 installer on out network is 90 characters. I think that's the issue. Could someone please confirm?
