How deploy & install the MSI package

Hi, sorry but I'm new user of this product. This software works very well, however, I don't know how can I do to deploy and install the MSI file in a remote machine in my network.

I have professional licence and version 4.0

Thanks in advanced...

Hi,

There are several approaches for deploying Windows Installer based software over a network:

1. Create an administrative installation using the command:

Code: Select all

msiexec /a package.msi
See the following page for more details about administrative installations:

A detailed step by step article that discusses how to deploy Office XP (which is Windows Installer based) can be found here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304953/EN-US/

2. If the machines on which you need to deploy the MSI package are on a Windows 2000 Server or Windows 2003 Server domain, then you can use Active Directory and Group Policy. Some useful links:

Hope this helps.
