MSI, Group Policy, MST and client deployment - 4.Nov.2009 7:41:59 PM

Is it possible to properly deploy the Faxmaker client to Windows Vista and Windows 7 using the MSI and an MST file to configure install settings?

The application installs fine, but the printer driver never installs and is not available to users.

I use the MST file to set the following:

USEOUTLOOKFORM - 2
SILENTPRINTERDRIVER - 1
MAILSERVER -

The software is assigned to the computer through group policy and installs at computer startup. It is not assigned per user. Any tips on how to get this to work with Vista or 7? I really don't want to manually install this on 100 pc's.

OK, but does it work on Vista and Windows 7? All I want to know is if GFI has a way to deploy the client to Vista or Windows 7 automatically, using either Group Policy or startup scripts that require no user intervention and successfully creates the printer object.

GFI FAXmaker 14.3 SR3 does support Windows 7 and Vista.

As for the silent install try this
msiexec /i c:\faxclient.msi mailserver=192.168.0.56 language=english /qn
