I am currently trying to get visual studio 2010 to deploy by MSI on my network. My current steps are below<br />
<br />
1, Install .net framework 4 through WSUS to the stations<br />
2, Install Visual C++ redistributable by MSI<br />
3, Extract contents of the CD/ISO to a local drive<br />
4, Create transform with desired settings<br />
&lt;path to extracted cd&gt;\setup.exe /CreateTransform &lt;path to extracted cd&gt;\setup.mst<br />
5,Create administrative installation point &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
msiexec /a vs_setup.msi /qb /L*v C:\vs_setup.log TRANSFORMS=vs_setup.mst TARGETDIR=D:\VS<br />
6, Copy administrative installation point to server share<br />
7, Allocate by GPO with transform File<br />
<br />
This all works fine but when you run visual studio 2010 you get a lot of errors regarding SQL.<br />
If you install SQL Express manually on top, the errors go away.<br />
When creating the transform file there is no option to include SQL and the errors still occur if you set the transform file to full install.<br />
I cannot find anywhere a guide for deploying SQL express 2008 by MSI? Any ideas?
