Is there a silent install option for TCC/LE

Jun

I would like to distribute TCC /LE in our network.
Are there options available in the installation file, so that I can install the package without user intervention?

Regards,

Rex,

I used tcmdle.exe /extract however I always end up in a subdirectory 6FD6305 below the target directory. This is probalbly caused by the packager. But I was hoping that with an extra switch it would end up in the target parent directory.

Not anything I can control.

Look at the options for msiexec; you might be able to find something to do
what you want.

In case it isn't clear, note that "/extract" does *not* install the app, it
just extracts the files from the installer. You'd then have to manually
update a few dozen registry keys and create the shortcuts. The updater
would not work, and you would not be able to uninstall using the Control
Panel.

Which I was hoping for. Extract means extracting. :)

But tcmdle /extract:c:\temp ends up in c:\temp\6FD6305 not c:\temp.

Ask Microsoft, I'm sure they could give you a reason for that behavior.

But is there some reason you won't use "tcmdle /qn", which actually does an
install (which is what you had asked for), not an extract to a temp
directory?

Your right! I asked the wrong answer. I want to use TCMLE as part of a job in Altiris. Not worrying about icons/uninstall programs makes the jobs even easier. First job: Copy / extract tcmdle to the workstation. Next job run TCMDLE with specific parameters. Altiris makes use of freedos. Not a beefed up Scriptprocessor. Next thing is to see if I can replace the freedos altogether with TCMDLE.
