Issue

Does Zephyr have an MSI version of the setup program available?

Solution

PASSPORT PC TO HOST version 2004-2716-3 and newer has both a zipped executable and an MSI package available for download at the following location:

http://www.zephyrcorp.com/Downloads/terminal-emulation.asp

• Advanced Installation Options
  
  None of the Advanced Installation options are available with the MSI version of PASSPORT, except for the Automatic Command Line Option . If any of these are required, you must use either the zipped executable or setup.exe from the CD. To perform an automatic install using the MSI package, use the following syntax:
  
  msiexec.exe /qb /i "\\ServerName\ShareName\PC2HOST.msi" LICENSE="XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX"
  
  or, to perform a silent install use the following:
  
  msiexec.exe /qn /i "\\ServerName\ShareName\PC2HOST.msi" LICENSE="XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX"
  
  Where XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX is the license code provided by Zephyr.
  
  For more information on the command line parameters available for msiexec.exe, refer to the Microsoft Knowledge Base article below:

• Group Policy and Active Directory
  
  To deploy PASSPORT using Group Policy and Active Directory you must apply a transform (.MST) file to the MSI package, which contains the license code. Without this you will receive an "Unable to find Passport.key" error.
  
  When creating your transform file, modify the passport.key file listed in the IniFile table so that the value is equal to the license code provided by Zephyr.
