OK, I got my Push Installer running. In the Client Side task I made a new push installer and fought with it for awhile but I am getting very close using the MSI package I built last week. By fight I mean the domain field is filled in with my subdomain and the administrative account has the same subdomail entered: ie subdomain\admin is the admin user name.
Now I think the only thing I am fighting is a conundrum. My MSI packake deletes my old Avast and installs the new version 7 just fine.
My MSI package when delivered with a push from Avast will result in an error simular to this one:
03/11/13 11:04:40: InstSvc begin
03/11/13 11:04:40: avast! Remote Install Service
03/11/13 11:04:40: Avast is installed in C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4
03/11/13 11:04:40: DSA_FileVerify C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\Setup\Sfx\avast.setup error
03/11/13 11:04:40: InstSvc end 0
So what I did was manually delete the old Avast from the Windows 7 Control Panel / Programs & Features
Then I tried my push routine again, the one that generated the above error and everything works. Avast installed. So I guess I have to find a way to delete "old" Avast from my client machines using Avast and then chain my "push" routine to the delete routine? Does anyone have any good ideas as to why my MSI package just works from the desktop and fails from a push?
