Today , I ran into some issues to deploy the App-V 4.5 client with SCCM 2007 SP1 R2 .
If you have System Center Configuration Manager 2007 as a distribution system you can find information about How to Install the Microsoft Application Virtualization Client here.
The article is mentioning the following prerequisites that must be installed on the Configuration Manager 2007 client computer:
Is doesn’t mention Microsoft Core XML services (MSXML) 6.0 SP1 however, but if you have the SCCM Client already installed, this prerequisite will be already installed for you (if not already present).
To get this going , I have created a task sequence to fullfill my needs .
Unattended installation of App-V WD Client prerequisites:
1. Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 x86 Redistributable Package
VCREDIST_X86.EXE /Q:A /C:”VCREDI~3.EXE /Q:A /C:””MSIEXEC /I VCREDIST.MSI /QN”””
Note: The quoting in the above command line is critical.
If it is not working , extract the 2 files , called vcredist.msi and vcredis1.cab and launch the following command :
Msiexec /I vcredist.msi /QN
2. Microsoft Application Error Reporting
In order to install it you need to specify the GUID of the application that is installing it.Take the App-V Client Guid !
MSIEXEC /I DW20SHARED.MSI /QN APPGUID={4C1CE627-6B28-436E-BD12-3A881065FB20} REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESS ALLUSERS=1
3. Unattended installation of App-V WD Client using setup.msi:
MSIEXEC /I SETUP.msi ALLOWINDEPENDENTFILESTREAMING=TRUE REQUIREAUTHORIZATIONIFCACHED=FALSE SWICACHESIZE=10240 SWIGLOBALDATA=C:\APPV\GLOBAL AUTOLOADTARGET=ALL AUTOLOADONLOGIN=0 AUTOLOADONLAUNCH=0 AUTOLOADONREFRESH=1 /QN
The example of my Task Sequence :
Hope it helps
