1. MSI Information
• 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_arcinfows_91\Workstation.msi INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files\arcgis\" WORKSPACE="C:\Workspace" ADDLOCAL=ALL TRANSFORM="\\win.mit.edu\dfs\MSI\ACST\esri_arcinfows_91\workstation.mst" /qn
• Had to explicitly state the installdir as it will install on the largest drive..
2. Configuration Issues
• If you use C:\Workspace, as the script sets up, you will need to also run the following startup script which keeps this area clean and sets write permissions for users:
  • \\win.mit.edu\dfs\MSI\ACST\scripts\arcinfo_cleanup_workspace\arcinfo_cleanup_workspace.bat.
3. Known Bugs
• No Known Bugs.
