View Client 3.3 msi install options

[TomHafemann]

Hello all,

I am trying to get the MSI install for view to use in ZCM, to install the view client automatically and silently.

I got the latest view client.exe from online and performed an administrative install, which gave me an msi and a bunch of other files.  I did do a hash on the file and determined that it was a good download.

I got the msi and all the files, and I am trying to use it to do the install.  Not working.

I am running "msiexec /i  VMware-Horizon-View-Client-X86_64-3.3.0-2507564.msi /qn"

Nothing happens or installs.

Ideas?

TIA

Please use installer.exe /x to extract the msi into the %temp% folder, then run this msi (you can find it in the latest created folder in %temp%) with the cmd you used, it works.

So....you must first push down the EXE to a local drive and run it from there?

I run the installation EXE from the network.

[TomHafemann]

AH....so you have set up an network share, on a drive that is common to everyone?

Yes, it's just a simple UNC path, you can run it however you like though (Local or Network).
