Stealing Kevin’s question regarding silent installs of ProSystem fx Engagement
(and dependencies).

Does anybody have scripts for installing the SQL Express instance and
ultimately Engagement?

We are coming up on the new Engagement release later this year and we’ve been
getting around a 70% success rate of fully silent upgrades in recent years.
Especially with the .NET Framework dependencies in the latest versions, there
seem to be a lot of hiccups in getting a smooth silent upgrade.

This year we will have a large number of stations moving from 32-bit SQL
Express (no longer supported) to 64-bit which means uninstalling the old and
installing a new instance – ideally automatically – prior to updating
Engagement.

Curious also if anyone has successfully deployed Engagement silently (both the
SQL and App installs) through InTune?

For Axcess, we use the .exe for the IUM, Practice, Document, and Tax the
biggest pain being downloading the updated .exes whenever there is an update.

I didn’t know about the URL posted here:
https://z001download.cchaxcess.com/iugatewaymanager/mediadownload.aspx<https://z001download.cchaxcess.com/iugatewaymanager/mediadownload.aspx>
which is nicer than using the ‘Download’ function through IUM so thanks for
that!

Would be nice if they had a ‘current’ release download link I could use in our
deployment script to just go snag the current installer.
