Sorry I must be missing something obvious but what is the best way to do a group policy deployment (under windows) before when there was an MSI it was... if not cake then close enough but I can't even find an unattended install switch for the new installer.

Thanks

Hello,

You should use the silent installation parameter (-q) of the installer. If you want to see the output of the installer in a text mode console add the -console parameter. See notes 2 and 3 in the Windows installation procedure.

Thank You I some how missed that very obvious option.

Will the MSI package be returning at some point however? It really does make a few things easier.

If you want to know when the installation is finished you have to start the installer with the /wait parameter:

Code: Select all

start /wait oxygen.exe
The control will return to the console where the command is executed when the execution of the command is finished.
