Hi Adam,

Sorry, sent the previus message before my brain was in gear.

All the unattendedinstall.exe file does is generate an msiexec command
line with all the appropriate properties defined.

Eg, (though this one is for XP FR3) the following command replaces the
unattendedinstall.exe. It is all one line and I needed it to make sure
the transform was applied properly.

msiexec /i "metaframe\w2k\mfxp001.msi" /q
TRANSFORMS="m:\install\citrix\disable_installer_w2k_en.mst"
CTX_MF_FARM_SELECTION="Join" CTX_MF_JOIN_FARM_DB_CHOICE="Direct"
CTX_MF_ZONE_NAME="" CTX_MF_SILENT_DSNFILE="M:\install\citrix\mf20.dsn"
CTX_MF_ODBC_USER_NAME="metaframe_xpe"
CTX_MF_ODBC_PASSWORD="gwf_metaframe_xpe" CTX_MF_SHADOWING_CHOICE="Yes"
CTX_MF_SHADOW_PROHIBIT_REMOTE_ICA="No"
CTX_MF_SHADOW_PROHIBIT_NO_NOTIFICATION="No"
CTX_MF_SHADOW_PROHIBIT_NO_LOGGING="No" CTX_MF_XML_CHOICE="separate"
CTX_MF_XML_PORT_NUMBER="80" CTX_MF_NFUSE_DEF_WEB_PAGE="Yes"
CTX_MF_LAUNCH_CLIENT_CD_WIZARD="No" REBOOT="No" /l*v
"m:\install\citrix\msi.log" /qb- CTX_MF_TURN_FEATURE_RELEASE_ON="Yes"
CTX_MF_SERVER_TYPE="E" CTX_MF_REBOOT="No"
CTX_MF_PRODUCT_CODE="0D00-06A7"

Alternatively you can edit the mps.msi file with ORCA (free MSI editor
from Microsoft) to predefine all these values in the Property table.
That makes a standalaone MSI file that can be used for server builds as
is, with just a /l*v and /qb- switch for logging with a silent install.

Regards,

Rick

Subject: [THIN] Unattended install for MPS


Anyone have a working unattend.txt file for MPS 3.0?  I am trying to
setup a test server in Virtual PC using the unattended method.  I can
install everything manually without problems.  Whwn I enable logging, I
get way too much so I set it only give errors and warnings.  The output
file is two
line: start and stop messages.
