Hi,<BR>
<BR>
I'm not a big user of the AD for package allocation but as far as I was aware you can specify parameters to use during installation when using the AD?<BR>
<BR>
If not then how do you do silent installs of MSI's? That uses additional parameters (e.g. /q) so the parameters needed to roll out the WPKG client should be fine to use?<BR>
<BR>
Not all MSI apps use MST files to set install parameters...<BR>
<BR>

There are apps which will let you work with these (Orca and InstEd both spring to mind) but there is no way to directly enter command line switches in AD.<BR><BR>Peter<BR><BR>
