Tomasz,


silent installation works well in Windows 7 if previously the GEANTlink MSI is installed. It has to be the same version the CAT installation package uses. Then installing regular CAT installer with /S works like a charm, no popups.


Thank you very much for your help,


Josu.

Hi,
   the /S switch will also work with Windows 7 and PEAP (which does not require the installation of GEANTLink).
The reason why this does not work with TTLS is that we need to run a sequence - install GEANTLink MSI and only when this is done install other stuff. If we run the MSI installer in its silent mode then it is installed in a separate subprocess and there seems to be no way to wait until it gets installed.

People seem to be using "start /wait msiexec /i .... /qn" to do that, but my experiments fail.

Hello,


i have been testing the CAT installer with "/S" option in order to make massive deployments in our institution but it does not work as intended in Windows 7. There is a dialog that pops up before installing GEANTlink supplicant.

In Windows 8/8.1/10 it appears to be working ok as in those platforms there is no GEANTlink installation (if i am right)

Are you aware of it? There is any plan in order to get it fixed?

Thank you in advance,

Josu
