Anyone ever use SMS Installer?


Recommended Posts

I am not running a full SMS network, but I am trying to use the SMS Installer to create a package. The problem is that our office uses this one program from LEXIS-NEXIS that dosen't seem to support any type of silent installation. I've tried all kinds of switches, in various combinations, but it never works. (which is strange, because it looks like a standard Installshield package).

Anyway, I thought I'd try to create a self-executing package using SMS Installer, as seen here:

But I'm having some problems with it. While logged on as the local administrator, I launch SMS Installer, click on "Repackage", and run the installation. It records all the system changes and creates the package.

OK, so I then use that package to do an installation during my unattend. But if I then run the program from a domain account, it won't run -- I get an error.

Has anyone ever created a package this way and maybe has some pointers for me?

:)

I didn't try to do any "cleaning up", because I wouldn't know where to begin. I could post the script if it would help. FYI -- this is for the program called Citation Tools 2003 (a free program to install, but requires a username/password to really do anything with it).

But let me first ask something else -- is there another program that I coud try that does the same thing as SMS Installer? i.e. - creates a self-executing file?
