Microsoft Installer (.msi) for installation through Group Policy

• Oct 21, 2011 - 19:28

I want to install MuseScore on our High School students' laptops after they have already been distibuted to our students. We have a controlled environment usin active directory. The best way to do this would be using a musescore msi installation package. I was *hoping* to find someone that has already created an msi package....anyone??

There is currently no MSI. It's possible to run the MuseScore installer in silent mode on the command line. Would that solve your problem ? See Installation - Advanced users.
Basically, you can run MuseScore-1.1.exe /S /D=C:\Program Files\MuseScore to install MuseScore from the command line.

It's not quite as good as having an MSI to push out with Group Policy, but you can use PsExec to run commands on a remote machine, so you can script the installations all from one machine. Just write a batch file that copies the installation files to each computer and then run PsExec to run the installer. The only problem is that all the computers have to be on when you do this.

I realize this is a late reply, but hopefully it will help someone.
