I would like to create a customized silent install of Quicktime and iTunes. My research so far indicates that I could use ORCA to modify the various.MSIs involved, and then install them in the correct order by msiexec.exe /I /qn to meet my objective. My question is what modifications should I make to each.MSI in order to get an install that doesn't include any shortcuts, that accepts all EULA, that disables autoupdate, and also disregards Bonjour. Another bit of confusion. Each installer includes a AppleApplicationSupport.
Which one should be used? I currently deploy quictime+itunes in the following order with the commands. I believe the current version of apple application support is 2.1.7 and that seems to work with all the applications. Please make sure to mention no reboot otherwise these installations will force reboot the computer. Please check out the link at the bottom since they have instructions how to disable desktop icons. Msiexec.exe ALLUSERS=true reboot=suppress /qn /i 'appleapplicationsupport64.msi' msiexec.exe /qn /norestart /i 'applemobiledevicesupport64.msi' msiexec.exe /qn /norestart /i 'bonjour64.msi' msiexec.exe /qn /norestart /i 'quicktime.msi' msiexec.exe /qn /norestart /i 'itunes64.msi' http://www.beyondpictures.com/blog/tech/2009/03/deploy-itunes-with-group-policy.html.
For iTunes in the past I used a task sequence of.msi's and got the program to install. Still no central meausre of success but you can make each step dependent on the success of the previous, that gives you strong indicators.
