Automatic installation Navision 4.x

jjhems

I'm trying to automate our desktop/notebook installations and I've got just about every application in our default system setup to install automatically. That is, they don't require any input.

I've tried numerous things to try and get Navision to install in a similar manner, including creating a MSI transform (using the Office 2003 Resource Kit), copying the files and importing the registry changes. Short of going through the lengthy process of creating my own MSI, I think I did it all.

Has anyone tried this before (and got it to work )? Please share your ideas...

Thanx...

If you have the program WinINSTALL you can open the MSI on the Navision CD and modify it to suit your needs. You can chose a quiet install (minimum user interface) and choose which parts you wish to install. We did it for installation on a terminal server and it worked perfectly. BTW. You'll also need to do the same for the ISScript8.msi and install this first.
