Here is a quick video of me creating an Adobe 9.3 snapin (Did not do
updates because I would have gone of screencast's 15 min limit... but
you can do them before creating the package or so I've noticed on the
applications I have snapins for) but did some setting changes just to
show you can alter settings: http://cusd187.stclair.k12.il.us/video/
(Click the "Creating FOG Snapins" on the right side)
Here is a zipped mp4 if anyone wants a copy to keep:

Just a note, some setting changes stay and some do not, have to figure
out which on a program basis. I've also noticed that the InstallRite
packages do not always apply setting changes you make when you just
double click and launch the install package. (As oppose to deploying
via FOG which always, so far, seems to keep all setting changes.)

I've recently installed Installrite and like you said, there is little
documentation.
The software looks very dated, which is not bad if it works, but I
tried to follow the steps they suggested and did get an "install kit"
but the thing (.exe) is only like 260kb. I don't really know what
this install kit does. I have it and have the installation file for
Open Office which is MANY Mb but don't know what to do now. Do I run
the install kit from the same folder where the installation file lives?
No real answer here, but certainly there are some on the list who know.
I really had the same questions as you on Friday, but of course could
offer no answers.
Scott
P.S. - I had the same password issues as you with the PXE screen.
Please let us know what you find.

Well not very well I didn't even get to download Installrite. I
had a problem with the school finance computer that took a while
to straighten out and wife wouldn't let me play with my computers
after that 8^)). Maybe some time this week.
I also discovered that the FOG server wasn't taking the password
for the PXE boot menu so I had to take it down as I didn't want
the kiddies making quick images of machines etc. Still have to
work on that, I think the upgrade from 0.26 to 0.29 may have
buggered up something as some of the other changes don't seem to
stick either. 8^( I still haven't looked at the logs to see if
anything show up . . . may be time to start over.

I am going to try to test out the Snapin module in FOG this
weekend and was wondering if anybody was using it yet?
I was wondering:
How it was working
any problem apps
what installer you are using: InstallRite, SFXMaker . . .
Tips or tricks . . .
any problems with msi installs
How do you configure the app? Can you configure it as you
are creating the snapin?
Is there any documentation/How-to's for InstallRite or
SFXMaker that could be recommended? Niether the InstallRite
or the SFXMaker website have much in the way of documentation
and I haven't installed either yet to see if the Help
sections is any good. The FOG page makes it seem pretty
straight forward but doesn't include much besides the basics.
Thanks, Have a great weekend all . . .
