Packages - creating and deploying

[petrosyg]

We have been using ZENWorks and we have our 2012 R2 SCCM Site up and running ... So far so good... now, I am working on packaging about 50 Applications.

 

I have one application that I am having issues with. (if you can call it an application it is a shortcut placed on desktop and it opens an IE browser - it uses the jave JRE).

 

 

I will describe how it is done in Zen and may be someone can help me achieve my goal.

 

In advance Thank you all for everything thing that you do, it is greatly appreciated.

 

The first time I deploy the Application -

1. Install (Install Tab In Zen)

• Install Java 1.6
• Reg Edit
• Edit Deployement.Properties Text File Win7
• Edit Deployement.Properties Text File WinXP

Example: See image 1

 

2. Launch (Launch Tab in Zen)

 

I run the following Actions: they run a vbScript

Run IE Start Script os=32 --- Path (%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\cscript.exe)

Run IE Start Script os=64 --- Path (%SYSTEMROOT%\SYSWOW64\cscript.exe)

 

The actual Script is the following

Dim objIE
Set objIE = WScript.CreateObject ("InternetExplorer.Application")
ObjIE.Width = 1024
ObjIE.Height = 815
ObjIE.Toolbar = false
objIE.Navigate "http://ora-app.abcdefg.com:7778/forms/frmservlet?config=abcdefg"
objIE.Visible = true

 

See Image 2

 

Also, in Zen I am able to Edit the Icon and tell it to go to each user's desktop and startup folder (list) fairly easily - i believe the controls are given. I know I will need to create a script, copy the Icon to the local System etc... but if someone can tell me some ways of achieving this, I will greatly appreciate it.

Hello,

 

 

just want to add, I have all the pieces I believe - the script etc ...

 

I would like to package it where it will work properly and more than anything else, to create a shortcut in the desktop with the ICON.

 

I also tried the app deployment method but I could not achieve the exact result.

 

thank you
