Pushing MS Project 2000 through MS SMS

[jjfederer]

As the subject advertises we need to push MS Project 2000 through MS SMS. There isn't a package pre-maded and the operation bombs when we try to create a package. Does anyone have a procedure for make a packege?

Thank you
Josh

Josh,

What you need to do is create an Administrative installation point for Project 2000 on your SMS Server
Install to your "package directory\Project 2000"

Installing Project from Network Server

Project 2000 SR1 update
***********************

Create transforms file with Custon Installation Wizard (ORK)
***********************************************************

Then put it all together and run a command line like the one I use :

"setup.exe" TRANSFORMS="SMS Server\SMS_Install_Disk\Project 2000\Project2000.MST" /q

I also ran another package linked together to customize the settings so the user had nothing to do, all changes in the registry.

Hope this helps you out.
