Michael,

 

On a test win98 machine, try running wmicore.exe from the command line passing it argument “/?”

 

wmicore.exe /?

Windows apps many times provide a response that lists the install flags and one of them will be for a silent install.

If you get a silent install flag, then use the user program object to install wmicore.exe passing it that flag.

 

Some additional configuring of the software package will be necessary to handle error codes, and reboot requirements appropriately.

 

It’s not a quick solution, testing and tweaking will be necessary. But, hopefully, it’s a workable one.

 

/Jana

I found that after I install the wmicore.exe program provided by Microsoft.

The windows 98 endpoint can do it.

but the wmicore.exe is not a good choice for TCM software distribution.

it is not a installshield format.

nor it is a mssetup format.

also I tried autopack technoligy to try get a .spb file using Swdpe .

but it faild.

How can i get a good spb file

for  hundreds of endpoint is windows 98.

 

thanks.

Sorry, don't know what else I can suggest other than to increase the debug
level on the endpoint and post the failing error to the list. The process I
outlined earlier worked for the Windows 95 endpoints so I didn't investigate
any further.

We've just been through a similar thing for one of our clients, only it was
for Win95 endpoints! The following worked for us:

1. install supported Win95 agent on local machine (371LCF020 worked for us)
2. Reboot Win95 endpoint
4. wepupgd Win95 endpoint to latest TMA version - you need this for CM 4.2.1
inventory scanner I believe
5. distribute inventory scan - do not enable DMI scan or it will fail
