griffindodd 0 Posted December 21, 2011 Report post Posted December 21, 2011 I've been trying to self-teach my tiny brain to use SCCM 2012, so far with the help of this forum I am doing pretty well and have managed to successfully deploy a few MSI based applications. Now I would like to learn how to package and deploy and application that uses an EXE installer rather than MSI. Do I need to write a .bat script with switches and then zip it up with the EXE? My example file I am using is for Adobe Reader 10.1.1 - AdbeRdr1011_en_US.exe. I would like to deploy this sliently to all users on my local network. According to Adobe's documentation to do a silent install I need to issue the following command switch... AdbeRdr1011_en_US.exe /sAll I have verified this indeed works and performs a completely silent install. How do I then package and deploy this script and EXE?

Peter van der Woude 143 Posted March 30, 2012 Report post Posted March 30, 2012 That link doesn't work, because the real one has a typo in it : http://tjindarr.wordpress.com/2012/03/30/deploy-exe-files-as-a-msu-deployment-type/ Basicly it comes down to creating a new application and manually specifying the information.

Tjindarr 3 Posted March 30, 2012 Report post Posted March 30, 2012 Sorry about the typo. A MSI file is better in every way but this is just in case. I work for a industrial company and it alot of the appliactions we use for our machines are very old. You know the 256 bit setup background picture with a guy in a hardhat holding a wrench... And with this i can almosr create my own MSI deployment within SCCM awsome!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
