RE: Push msi install package

I always have better luck with .MSI's vs. exe's. Have you tried the various 
other switches available with the .MSI file?

Hi Folks,

We use Ricoh printers/copiers here.  They provide an agent that can be 
installed onto desktops so we can manage print configuration, setup, and 
reporting.

The agent is signed with a valid public certificate.  The problem I am having 
is that the push installation (via System Center Essentails) fails, I think 
because users always receive the Open File Security Warning popup if this is 
run manually, but I try to surpress that with the /quiet switch, and it fails.  
 I can disable that via GPO, but I do not wish to do that.

Do I need to go back to the vendor and have them recompile as an EXE instead?  
Suggestions appreciated.

Any swith I use (/qb, /passive, etc) works fine after the user accepts the
warning dialog.  It's the dialog that I think is making the managed
installation fail.

Sounds like you are pushing it at users? Push it to the machines perhaps.

Another option to try is to add the server path to the Local Intranet zone - 
this has helped me get around these security prompts.
