Deploy Application with ini file

Question

_{Wednesday, January 4, 2017 7:38 PM}

Hello,

I have successfully created an .msi application and deployed it to a few workstations. I also have the option of deploying it with a .bat, and I have an .ini that contains some configuration information (ex. IM server name, and community). I would like to include this file in the deployment. What is the best way to do this?

Thank you,

Ricardo

Sorry, don't exactly follow what your question is here. For both Applications and Packages in ConfigMgr, it's up to you to define the source files and command-line. Crafting the command-line is an art, is often variable, and is dependent upon whatever you are installing. So, if your question is how do you specify the ini file on the installation command-line, the answer is that no one here knows. You need to consult the vendor's installation documentation to discover that. If your question is where do you specify the command-line, that's in the deployment type if using an Application or the Program if using a Package.

Just to give you an idea, in order to deploy an MSI with .ini file, the command line could be something similar to the one below:

msiexec /i "installer.msi" /qb /Lv* "C:\Temp\install.log" INSTALLLEVEL=200
ALLUSERS=1 DSNCONFIG="C:\Temp\install.ini"

For exact switches pertaining to your MSI, please refer to vendor documentation as Jason suggested previously.
