1. MSI Information
• Updated to SP1 on January 6, 2006. If you installed 9.1 via the install batch script there is nothing you need to do besides reboot your machines. If you haven't yet installed 9.1, it will install 9.1 sp1 without any needs for further upgrades.
• Using vendor supplied MSI created an administrative install using (msiexec /a) and built a MST file with Installshield Tuner to perform a complete install. This will not install via group policy for unknown reasons, so we use a system startup script.
• The transform settings do not get applied correctly, so we have a number of command line parameters in our setup script. The installation section of the script is:
  • %systemroot%\system32\msiexec.exe /i \\win.mit.edu\dfs\MSI\ACST\esri_arcdesktop_91\Setup.msi INSTALLDIR1="C:\Python21" ADDLOCAL=ALL TRANSFORMS="\\win.mit.edu\dfs\MSI\ACST\esri_arcdesktop_91\Setup.mst" /qn
• Without expliciting stating to put Python on the C drive it will install it to the disk with the most free space.
2. Configuration Issues
• When the MSI is removed Python is not removed.
• If you want the GeoData Tool you will need to run the following script in your container:
  • Dfs\MSI\ACST\scripts\esri_geodata_arcdesktop_91\esri_geodata_arcdesktop_91_install.ba
• If you want the Ortho Tool you will need to run the following script in your container:
  • Dfs\MSI\ACST\scripts\esri_orthotool\arcdesktop_91\esri_orthotool_arcdesktop_91_install.bat
3. Known Bugs
