And I thought Microsoft was overly bureaucratic ☺ There’s no simpler way I’m aware of. Maybe it’s possible to do it using a VBScript (AppAcrtivate and SendKeys)? I haven’t tried something like that in years though.

In order for these dialogs to display when using the Application Model is to require the user to be logged on during the installation. Our preference when deploying applications that go to all workstations is to use the options to ‘Run as System’ and ‘Whether the user is logged on or not’. However, in SCCM 2012 the option to allow the user to interact with the installation is not available with this option combination. Therefore, users will not see any dialog windows that are part of the installation. We are testing using serviceui.exe but need to know how to suppress the command window that gets launched with serviceui.exe. Does anyone have any suggestions? We are running the following command with serviceui.exe %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /I "install_flash_player_17_active_x.msi" TRANSFORMS=AFLASH1700134.mst REBOOT=ReallySuppress /passive TARGETDIR=C:\ /l*v "c:\Installs\USPS\CET\Logs\AFLASH1700169.log"
