To Simon - I'm not sure about ver 6.5, but as I recall, MI uses Installshield to do the installation. You can start an Installshield installation with a special qualifier (-r) , that will gather all the user supplied information under the installation in a "iss" file. Afterwards you can use this iss file to let Installshield make an automated, silent installation by using another qualifier (-s). Try to look at the home page for installshield www.installshield.com under the knowledge base. Hope this helps.

I have around 90 instances of MI to upgrade to version 6.5. Up to present I have done this manually but I am looking for a way to roll this out automatically either via ZenWorks or by manipulating the MSI file (I notice there is a pdf file but on my CD it seems corrupted). My principle problem is that with installing it on Win2k it wants to run the Mapinfo user section of the installation for each user of that workstation which for various reasons I don't want it to do. Does anyone know of a way of forcing it to install in the "all users" section of the profile?
