Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS)
An Administrator can use SMS to manage network computers, distribute software from a central location, and perform a variety of other system management tasks. The Administrator can install a package of products simultaneously on multiple computers.
To distribute a product using SMS, the Administrator must create a package definition file according to SMS instructions.
Warning:
Do not confuse the package definition file extension (*.pdf) with the Adobe file format (PDF--portable document format).
Tip: A package contains source files for the program and various details for directing the software distribution process.
For convenience, Hummingbird provides a default package definition file for all products. There are three default scenarios in each package definition file:
When a package is run through SMS, it prompts you to select one of these options (scenarios). Use the following command line parameters to apply modifications or create new package definition files:
/i
Installs or configures a product.
/q
Sets user interface level (silent).
INSTALLLEVEL=150
Does a complete install.
TRANSFORMS=nnnn.mst
Specifies the product language where nnnn is the transform file name.
Note: For nnnn, type only the file name (number), not the .mst extension.
For example, a complete silent installation of a Hummingbird product in Italian would look like this:
Tip: For more information about Msiexec command line options, see the Windows Installer documentation available in the MSDN online library at msdn.microsoft.com
msiexec /i "Hummingbird Product.msi" TRANSFORMS=1040.mst INSTALLLEVEL=150 /q
Refer to Microsoft documentation for command line parameters, switches, and other information required for Windows Installer and Systems Management Server.
