I have about 20 applications that need to be run in a specific order. I want to script them so that I can do this remotely.
Each one of the applications has a Setup.exe and an MSI.
I was hoping just to have a simple script that called the MSIs with an answer file, but it has been years since I have done it. However, I do not remember how to create an answer file.
Is this a good way to do it? Or would there be a simpler way?
+1 but unfortunately the switches don't seem to work with all MSIs. Haven't looked into why but it's definitely the case with some. – Ciaran – 2011-02-16T22:11:14.883
Depends on how the MSI was created. There are some properties you can set to ignore certain parameters, IIRC. Typically using Instedit and building a Transform always worked, the only errors i encountered were usually human. – peelman – 2011-02-17T04:04:06.587

+1 for InstEdit

Property(S) : PROPERTY_NAME...
