15 years agoYes, I checked the installation FAQ, and there doesn't seem to be anything in there that applies to what I am trying to accomplish.
The web based installer is a no-go as well. Everything needs to be in the package when it get's pushed, I can't expect the user to wait for the files to download... especially when this is going to several hundred users at once.. Imagine them all trying to download this at the same time. Here is what I am trying to do in a nutshell. I work for a Defense Contractor, we take external vendor installations and re-wrap them in our own Wise wrapper to create our products. They are then pushed via Altiris to the end users (who have no access rights and are in a locked down environment) It's the Altiris account that get's used to when the installation occurs. I need to produce a package that will run automagically with no input (And more importantly no way to cancel / screw up the installation) from the users whatsoever, other than to launch the initial package once it becomes available. The software package gets cached via Altiris on the end users local machine until it is installed. Previous versions used an Installshield wrapper for the installer and you were able to create an ISS file that would automate the installation. They removed that feature with this version, and unless Altera also provides an MSI based installer or some other way to automate the installation, I don't see an easy fix for my problem.
