Anyone?

Hi Ryan,

Sorry to inform you that we are not equiped with the knowledge of Microsoft SCCM  You may get a better suggestion from Microsoft or Microsoft certified technician. 

Hi Keith,

Thanks for your reply. I apologize, I wasn't very clear in my original post. What I'm really looking for is the instructions for performing a "silent install" of the software. In other words, I would like to be able to run a command that will install the software without displaying any dialogs to the user. Is this possible?

Ryan:

This issue has come up in the past, there is no silent install options for the software that I am aware of, the only way that you might be able to achieve an automated install is to use a scripting program such as AutoIt or Winbatch to send key strokes to the installation program.

Are you doing this to install to PC's at a training center or a school, if so you might consider building the software into an OS image that you could deploy.

You will still have to properly register and have the correct number of license for the software to avoid violating the software agreement!

Hi Bruce,

Unfortunately, the computers are already out in the field so building the software into an OS image won't help me. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Hi,

Sage 50 Canadian Edition 2013 is not possible to repackage using Flexera Admin Studio or even AppV 4 or 5 but on SCCM there's a way to let the users start the installation and at the end will work but the most important thing of this is that the User will have to start the installation process by themselfs and with large corporations is NOT an option to let them do this because of corporate rules and IT teams will be seen sometimes as Miracle deppartments so we have to investigate how to solve this issues.

Creating a response file .ISS will not work or register all the info like the serial number to proceed with the install. Some people with the UK version said that they can install it using the PeachTree version of Sage 50. www.reddit.com/.../sage_50_peachtree_2013_silent_install_discovered

But the Canadian version does not drop the same .INI files they refer on this article. So my answer as packager is not possible to automate a silent installation of Sage 50.

Creating an MST from the MSI that is called from the main setup.exe will give you an error but adding the property ISSETUPDRIVEN=1  to that MSI will allow you to create an MST, then using a command like the one below it supposed to be functional as I packaged another Sage application that is Sales logix and the same procedure worked fine but not for SAGE 50.

setup.exe /S /v"TRANSFORMS="SA2013.mst" /l*vx \"c:\Logs\Sage.log" /qn"

This command line cost me hours to be found and at the end it didn't work for this produt. I would like to open a ticket for the Sage Support to see what they do to install this product on more than 500 machines. They will allow all the 500 users to let them install it manually ??

Any other ideas will be appreciated.

Kind regards.

Seamless app on Terminal Server?  

The $ 8,000 in TS licensing would be a bit of a downer, though.

Hello Marc-Antoine

I'm working on the same problem . Could you give me some scripts or information ? Emco didn't works for activate Sage 50.
