Ultraedit Silent Install

[Prospero Barela]

Fairlynew to the k1000 (and scripting in general), and a little stuck trying to install UltraEdit 18 silently. Trying to use the EXE because I had issues with the MSI not creating a start menu or desktop shortcut. You pass an ISS file to the EXE to give the silent install it's config.

If I enter the following script at the command line, it installs successfully fine - but when I try to use Kace (either as a distribution or scripting task), I get a [ResponseResult][ResultCode=-3] in the log, which is something about a corrupt or missing ISS file. You can see the setup file get called (an icon appears on the taskbar and stays there for some time), but it eventually closes without installing successfully.

I suspect that that's because the installer is writing stuff to the logged-in user's profile. When deploying via Kace, it uses the local System. I'd wager your shortcuts are there, they're just languishing in the System user's profile.

Grab the MSI and do the usual shuffling of components so that you get a user-level feature as a parent of an existing feature which contains an advertised entry-point, normally a shortcut, then deploy. Then, when your users trigger the entry-point, the application will self-heal and install the user-level components.

Repackaging tips and silent install information for IDM Computer Solutions UltraEdit 28.10. This App Tip provides comprehensive details for conducting a silent installation of UltraEdit. It includes additional insights, such as user environment specifics, extra installation parameters, and repackaging tips.

Our goal is to bring the crowd of workplace management and security ninjas together to share their knowledge, learn together. This covers topics around management of endpoints with configuration manager and Intune, as well virtual desktops and the complete security stack of Microsoft.

The AdminStudio application packaging training course will teach you to use AdminStudio to repackage traditional setups into Windows Installer packages and customize those packages to meet specific needs. Learn application packaging best practices and much more.

In this application packaging training course, you will also gain experience in creating transforms for existing third-party MSI packages and improving package quality through identifying and resolving conflicts between packages, validation and automated tests before deploying your applications.

The following course sections and topics will be covered in the class. If you have a specific area that you think might need extra attention, mention it to your instructor on the first day of application packaging training.

I am trying to install Raspbian from NOOBS, but I have no other screen/keyboard available than my laptop screen/keyboard. I find enough information about using a laptop screen/keyboard for a Pi, but then you already need to have an OS installed. But I have no OS installed, because my SD card contains NOOBS and I want to install Raspbian using NOOBS.

Using only the laptop's screen and keyboard (both before andafter installation), install and configuration for headlessoperation using SSH is possible using NOOBS (they call it"silent install"). It does not require a separate screenor keyboard/mouse. It does require an SD card reader on thelaptop (built in or external USB), though.

The only thing required on the Raspberry Pi side is anEthernet connection (to SSH into it from a hostsystem). Alternatively, using special hardware(USB-to-serial adapter), it possible to usesome GPIO pins on the Raspberry Pi.[3]

This can be done deleting a few folders, editing two fileson the SD card and setting some symbolic links in/etc/init.d (make a backup copy first of the SD card contentif you only have the SD card with NOOBS on it). The securityconscious may want to change the default password before installation.

A host computer capable of running an SSH client and ofreading/writing the file system on the Raspberry Pi's SDcard (ext4). The operating system could be Windows, Macor Linux. This could be a computer that is normallyrunning Windows, but which has a DVD drive so Ubuntu canbe started in trial mode using a LiveCD.

For instance, to automatically install Raspbian (therecommended choice) when power is applied to the RaspberryPi with the SD card in, do the following offline (on the host system,Windows, Mac or Linux):

Put the SD card into the Raspberry Pi, connect it with an Ethernet cable such that the host system with the SSH client can see it and such that DHCP is available to the Raspberry Pi (for instance, most NAT-routers have a DHCP server built in). Perhaps disconnect the system from the Internet until the password has been changed.

Power the Raspberry Pi on to start the installation. And wait! This can take a while, like half an hour or more. To be sure, leave it alone for a few hours. An install time of 19 minutes and 20 seconds has been measured when using NOOBS 1.3.10 (from power up till the first successful ping). The current drawn was 400 - 480 mA and fell to 370 mA after the first ping succeeded.

Wireshark can also be used for this purpose, especially if it is in an environment with a lot of devices. This is much easier to do if the MAC address of the Raspberry Pi is known, and it can be obtained by temporary using step 4 below.

SSH is not enabled by default for Raspbian in NOOBS version 1.3.7 - despite what some pages claim. (It may be different for Arch Linux.) However, it is for Raspbian in NOOBS version 1.3.10, and this step may no longer be necessary (however, any purchased Raspberry Pi may be delivered with an SD card with an older version of NOOBS, and it may be worth saving the 700 MB download).
