Silent Installation

Hello,

I would like to use SMS to silently install SmartFTP. I have done this with other MSI programs, but am unable to get this to work with the smartftp MSI... I have tried all the msiexec options I know of. Any help would be appreciated. Below is my licensing and system information.

The SmartFTP.msi and the .cab files can be found in the "C:Program FilesSmartFTP Setup Files" folder after you exected the SFTPMSI.exe setup package. With them you can build your package for the SMS.

Mat,

Will the software be licensed after the silent install? I want to make sure my users don't need to enter registration information.

You need to install the license key for each user. You can do this by copying the license key file into the %appdata%\SmartFTP\Client 2.0 folder for each users you have purchased a license for.
