Deploying AccessAgent 8.2 with fix pack / iFix

Question & Answer


Question

Can I install Access Agent with fix pack / iFix in a single command?

Answer

Yes, you can install AccessAgent 8.2.0.0501 with Fixpack / iFix in a single command.
You achieve this with the use of a batch file that executes the installation of the .msi followed by the installation of the .msp.

The AccessAgent 8.2 iFix is cumulative. It includes fixes from previous fix packs or interim fixes.
Install the AccessAgent 8.2.0.0501 using the ISAM ESSO AccessAgent.msi installer.
Then install the fix pack or iFix (for example: 8.2.0-ISS-SAMESSO-AA-XXnnnn).

Example
The following fix packs and iFixes have been released

    8.2.0-ISS-SAMESSO-AA-IF0001
    8.2.0-ISS-SAMESSO-AA-FP0002
    8.2.0-ISS-SAMESSO-AA-IF0003
    8.2.0-ISS-SAMESSO-AA-IF0004

To deploy AccessAgent 8.2.0.0501 with iFix 0004:
  1. Copy the AccessAgent 8.2.0.0501 installer package to the local machine c:\temp\install\AccessAgent
  2. Set RebootEnabled=0 in c:\temp\install\AccessAgent\Config\SetupHlp.ini
  3. Copy the AccessAgent iFix to c:\temp\fixes
  4. Run a batch file containing

    msiexec /i "c:\temp\install\AccessAgent\ISAM ESSO AccessAgent.msi" REBOOT="ReallySuppress"

    msiexec /update "c:\temp\fixes\8.2.0-ISS-SAMESSO-AA-if0004_32.msp"

To add/modify Registry entries you need to edit the install dir\Reg\DeploymentOptions.reg file.

To have the install/uninstall run in silent mode add the following flag to the msiexec command line
/qn

Note:
  • You do not need to restart the computer after you install the AccessAgent 8.2.0.0501 and before you install the fix pack or iFix.
  • This approach is only applicable to AccessAgent 8.2.0.0501. It does not apply to AccessAgent 8.1
  • This command does not work for AccessAgent 8.2.0.0501
    • msiexec /i <full path to .msi> PATCH=<full path to .msp>
