Remove Folder during MSI Install


Remove Folder during MSI Install

Create a custom action
    


cmd.exe /C rmdir "%PROGRAMDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Java" /S /Q


Change the Type to 3122

No Impersonate runs the command in a system context.

Source is %COMSPEC
The ComSpec environment variable by default points to the full path of the command line interpreter.


Now you have to sequence the command to run second last just before InstallFinalize


Easy as that.

Sccm Deploying Problem Driver

Image

Download driver from windows catalogue if possible, if not what you have will be fine. 2. Import driver manually through compmgmt.msc and selecting to point to driver file manually. 3.

In order to deploy AutoDesk Trueview 2012 for windows 7 you will need to download the source from http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/pc/index?siteID=123112&id=9078813. Once you have downloaded the setup files then extract them to your SCCM server using 7 zip.Should look something like below minus the Autodesk.Bat.  Once you have done this make sure you have all the required components on your machine to make it possible to install Trueview 2012. If you dont then download the components you need, in my case I required .Net 4.0. I downloaded the dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe file and added to my Trueview package under the folder "3rdParty\NET\4\wcu\dotNetFramework\dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64" You now have all the components you need to complete the install, all that is left to do is create a .bat file to run the .Net 4.0 component then the actual Trueview 2012 install. Below is the command i used within my AutoDesk.Bat:- "3rdParty\NET\4\wcu\dotNetFramework\dotNetF...
