Smart Notebook 17.1 Install
jeffolson
I see there's an old post on this from February that doesn't seem to have been resolved.
I'm attempting to push out Smart Notebook 17.1 and use an .mst file along with it, but I can't get it to install.
I get an Unknown 1603 error whether or not I use the .mst file, on any machine, even a fresh imaged one, that I try to deploy it to.
Anyone have any luck pushing out Smart Notebook? This is honestly the first program using PDQ Deploy I'm stumped on.
I'm following the directions from Smart, using their software to create the .mst file

Hello I've deployed SMART Notebook 17.1 on several faculty systems and it seems to work. I've deployed a major update like Notebook 16.x to 17.x as well as a minor update to 17.x to 17.x. In my case, I was not able to use an install step within PDQ Deploy because it always failed. So what I did was place the install files in the repository and then copied them down to %WINDIR%\Temp and then run the installer from that directory. Below are my commands to update to a major version and to update to a minor version. In the package that I built, I have three steps. The first is to kill any running smart*.exe processes, second to copy the files to %WINDIR%\Temp, and the last to run one of the two commands. This process works for me.
Major version: msiexec /i %windir%\Temp\SMART\SMARTLearningSuite.msi TRANSFORMS="%windir%\Temp\SMART\SmartLearningSuite.mst" /qn
Minor version: msiexec /i %windir%\Temp\SMART\SMARTLearningSuite.msi TRANSFORMS="%windir%\Temp\SMART\SmartLearningSuite.mst" REINSTALLMODE=vomus REINSTALL=ALL /qn
Cool, I'll have to give that a try.
