The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Setup Bootstrap for Visual Basic Setup Toolkit Silent install interrupts when attempting to copy older file versions

Asked by OrionsNet in Visual Basic Programming, Microsoft Development, Installation

Tags: Visual Basic, VB, Silent install, /silent, .SLT, setup.exe /silent, silent, setup bootstrap, zenworks

I am having this same problem, but I am not the developer. I am a network administrator trying to silently push a VB application to users desktops. I am using a ZENworks 7 Application Object to do this. It basically runs setup.exe /silent, and then enters some custom registry entries. However, I have the same issue with the silent install being interrupted when it attempts to copy files older than what already resides on the host. If I were the developer, I would recompile the exe with the newer file versions to reid myself of this annoyance, but I am not. I do have Visual Studio 2010 though, if someone wants to explain to me how to do that. I thought it would be easier, if it is possible, to make some edit to the .exe's .LST file. Is there something that you can put in the [setup1 Files] section to automatically answer those prompts? I don't care if the new files are overwritten or not since the app will work either way. I will attach th econtents of the .SLT file. Thanks for your help!
