    From the v9.0.4 release of HelpMaster, the installation package has been updated to better support command line installation.

    Here's a page lifted from the helpfile that explains the settings.  For further information about this technology, please refer to the Microsoft website listed below.

    MSI switches

    The HelpMaster installation package uses Microsoft Windows Installer technology.  This means that it can be installed via a command line interface by using the Microsoft MSIEXEC tool.

    The following values can be used for the INSTALLLEVEL property.

     

    Install Level HelpMaster component
       
    1 Core Components
    10 Desktop
    20 Database Wizard
    30 Email Manager
    35 Email Manager_Service
    40 Priority Manager
    45 Priority Manager_Service
    50 Active Directory
    55 Active Directory_Service
    60 Web Interface

     

    MSI documentation and switches can be found at the Microsoft MSDN website here

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa367988(VS.85).aspx

    Examples

     

    Silently install just the Desktop components

    msiexec /i c:\hmpsuitsetup.msi INSTALLLEVEL=10 /q

     

    Silently install everything

    msiexec /i c:\hmpsuitsetup.msi INSTALLLEVEL=60 /q

    Rod.

    Sorry to be a pain....but we trying to avoid assigning to machine so how you go about publishing the MSI to users via GPO?
    Publishing the MSI is no problem but I need to limit it down to Desktop installation only and silently.

    Hi,

    The command line you would use for just the desktop silently would be

    msiexec /i c:\hmpsuitsetup.msi INSTALLLEVEL=10 /q

    Hope this helps,

    Thanks you Rod.

    Just one more question on installation.

    How would I install "Desktop" and "CrystalReport" only via GPO?

    We have a requirement to have reporting functions on all users and MSI package does not install CR componds.

    Only EXE contains CR componds, and we cannot deply it via GPO.

     

    Regards

    To install Crystal Reports, you'll need to download the Crystal Reports .msi from the v11 download page and then run this after you've installed HelpMaster.
    Thanks, Rod
