Im not sure about your installation description and your exact problem configuring the update. Normaly, a xyz.MSI installs the software. So what you mean with: you have the .msi AND the software files and folders? Is there a Installation folder including a .msi or ????
Do you have test the options " add folders / add files in Update Assistent Step 1 or the posibillity to create custom Updates and use file/folder - copy options.
This option was typical used for deployment the old version of JAVA 6, because JAVA comes with a .msi and .mst. and .cab .....
If you use this, WPP put all files /folders and the msi in a Update Container file for transfering to the Clients, there it will be extracted and the msi Installation start. You CANT define the folder place of extracting in this way, or the place of installation. This informations must be inside the .msi.
If you want to copy files and folders to a self-defined place, e. : C:\HomerSimpson\Atempo\ - use Custom Updates, and than runs the install.msi in a second step of yout update.
?
You must copy the install.msi and any files and folders more ( nessasary for installation ) to the Client-PC's.
Then you must start the install.msi to install the software.
Is this correct?
Normaly you can simply use GPO with the right switches for creating folders and copy files, and run msi., but ofcourse you can use WPP.
Offtopic: If you paid for - what is the Atempo support statement for deploying her software?
