Cheers Joe,
I've since found out you can pass command line parameters directly to the
EXE file - so you don't even need the WI_COMMAND_LINE workaround. You can
just use:
WebInterface.exe -noasc -l en -c ...
And, for people that do still want access to the internals of the installer
package, you can use:
WebInterface.exe -unpack "c:\somedir"
Hopefully they'll update the web doc soon J

Hello,
It appears Citrix is using a different packaging method for Web Interface
4.5 and 4.5.1 as I am unable to expand the file as well. However, this
method does work for 4.0 and 4.2.
That being said, it is not necessary to extract the files in order to create
a silent install. Further down the CTX article (ctx106114) you'll notice
that you can pass arguments to the WebInterface.exe installer by setting the
WI_COMMAND_LINE variable.
Here is an example:
copy /y WebInterface.exe "%temp%\WebInterface.exe"
set WI_COMMAND_LINE=-noasc -l en -c
"WIDest=1:/Citrix/MetaFrame,PNADest=1:/Citrix/PNAgent,MCMDest=1:/Citrix/MCM,
Config=Local,XMLService=MyServer:8080,WIDefaultSite=Yes,FarmName=MyFarm"
"%temp%\WebInterface.exe"
del /q /f "%temp%\WebInterface.exe"
You'll notice that I copy the file first because older versions of the setup
did not like to run from network share. Not sure if this is still true for
4.5.x, but this process works regardless.

Hi,
In the instructions for an unattended installation, the first step is to
extract the files from webinterface.exe for v4.5.1
"To get started, unzip the WebInterface.exe package to a directory. If
WinZip is not installed on a Windows 2003 server, you can simply rename the
WebInterface.exe program to WebInterface.zip and then expand it using
Windows' built-in zip handler. The unzipped contents will include the file
WebInterfaceSetup.exe:"
Whenever I perform this step I get an 'unexpected end of archive' error.
Anyone else having this problem?
Andrew
