VirtualBox

Would you be able to add Virtualbox to the package library? I already have a working package I created myself. It would just be nice if I didn't have to update it manually.

Thanks!

    Can you share how you created the package?  I am trying to create one that is silent but am having a hard time getting around the driver signing message.  I have used /qb but that is a prompt.  I tried /qn but it fails somewhere.

    Okay i was able to deploy the virtualbox application, but am wondering if the parameters i used would deploy a fully functional version.

    the command line i used in the package was:

    msiexec.exe /i "vbx64.msi" ADDLOCAL=VBoxApplication /qn

    Which adds the application for all users to the desktop. I am not sure if it installed the USB/Network drivers.  Will report back and let everyone know.

     

    After testing out the application, it seems as though the network drivers and usb drivers are also installed into the program.

    Here's how I got around the driver signing problem:

    1. Ran a non-silent install on a test machine and accepted the driver warning.
    2. Went to Certificate manager and exported the oracle certificate.
    3. Added a Command step to the start of my package
    4. Enter command: certutil -addstore "TrustedPublisher" oracle.cer
    5. Included the certificate file in the step.
    6. Now since Oracle is a Trusted Publisher, it will no longer prompt to install the drivers

    @Apshoupe: If you accepted the unsigned driver previously on your test machine, it won't prompt you again. You'll have to delete the cert for an accurate test.

    On the installer that i wrote above... I did not have to accept any cert. agreement.  It just goes through and installs the application for all users.  At this point, i am not sure whether the certificate is installed or not.  I guess i can check and will report back

     I was unable to locate the certificate on the certmgr, but it seems as though the application is running like it should.  The cert is needed for USB drives?
