Install application without starting it.

Install application without starting it.
Wed, 07 May 2008 10:16:02 GMT
I'm working since 3 months with novell so dont kill me if i'm asking a
dumb question :P

I need te update acrobat reader version 7 to 8. I made a application
object with the msi from 8. I tried several things to install it
without any luck. The program is installed with the application object
but not on the way i want(see next line).

Under distribution options you can choose for the option "distribute
always". The problem with this option is that every time te pc is
rebooted it tries to install it again.

Is it possible to install it once without clicking on it trough te
menu?

I hope you guys understand what i mean.

don't know why you want the application to distribute always but here is
how we did it
For adobe acrobat reader 8 we've created a zenworks MSI object
by the msi properties allusers=1 and eula_accept=yes
and simple by the run options pointend to the acrord32.exe

hopes this help!
