Even though I am the person who manages the white listing and other cyber security things, I am also the person who is trying to help automate the install process for our field techs as well. I have been attempting to package the .exe, or even wrap into a .msi with the parameters etc. I was able to create the MST via response, and install most of Symantec CSP, and then it failed stating that it was interrupted. This is not my normal role and the person who's job this is is more clueless than me. I am needing for the fields to be pre-populated during the install because the techs always seems to fat finger the management server name and the like. I would like for the install to be silent, so only showing the progress bar, but I haven't been able to get that far. I have little to no experience on the windows side of things for things like this and I am starting to wonder if this is the best option.
I am using the newest and latest and greatest version of Advanced Installer and it seems to be so confusing for what I need it to do. I have the original agent.exe file, and I copied the agent.msi out of the temp folder and have been attempting to utilize that for the MST, etc. All I need for it to do is accept the terms and conditions, input the management server name, apply the cert (simple click browse, and point to the local folder, and then fill in a few fields. Am I making this harder than it should be? I don't need to install anything that the installer doesn't already have. I have also tried to apply the cmdline parameters and create a .bat, but that still failed. I just don't know enough since it's not my normal role.
What I need for the program to fill in
MANAGEMENT_SERVER=10.10.10.10
SSL_CERT_FILE=C:\Program Files (x86)\Symantec\Agent-cert.ssl
COMMON_CONFIG_GROUP=Baseline
IPS_CONFIG_GROUP=Baseline
IPS_POLICY_GROUP=Main
Everything else will be default. I've read the documentation for both products, but i'm still at a loss. Suggestions?
