Deploying Toad for Oracle 11.0 R2

Deploying it Via SCCM 2007

1. Go to the below link to extract the MSI's from the setup.exe

http://us-downloads.quest.com/Repository/support.quest.com/Toad%20for%20Oracle/11.0/Documentation/11%20Release%202/ToadForOracle_11.0R2_BaseEdition_InstallationGuide.pdf

2. Author an Install script it's simple Msiexec.exe /i "Application.msi" to install

3. Follow the Below Instructions to create a registry key(Questkey.reg) for invoking License.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\{08439167-4CA5-48E9-A810-A3A7C0B80B06}]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\{08439167-4CA5-48E9-A810-A3A7C0B80B06}\Local]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\{08439167-4CA5-48E9-A810-A3A7C0B80B06}\Local\KEY]
"SiteMessage"=""
"ProductName"=""
"ProductVersion"=""

 4.The tougher part is invoking the License using a deployment tool (SCCM 2007), SCCM installs the s/w using a  system account and wheen it has to write to a current user..you will notice the registry settings are not created..as it is running under system account, and You don't want your users to invoke license manually...

Sol: Create 2 programs for Installation (Install, InstallDBAdmin Module)

1) Install- Write the script to install the registry key silently,

---> Under Program's ENVIRONMENT Tab make sure you are running the program with user's rights; Program can run only when a user is logged on.

---> Under Program's ADVANCED Tab; select the option Run another Program First and select "Program2-InstallDBAdmin Module" select the options "Always run this programs first"

2)InstallDBAdmin Module- Install script for the application.

5.Deploy the Packages, and Run the Program from "Run Advertised programs" and there you go..!

 

Thanks,

  • Hi Suresh,

    I have found another way to licence Toad 11 silently.

    1. Install the software on a reference PC and licence the product with the serial code and site message provided by Quest. This will generate the file %APPDATA%\Quest Software\Toad for Oracle\11.X\QSAuth11.key

    2. Create a transform for the Toad msi in Orca and modify the AgreeToLicence property to Yes

    3. Edit the transform in Wise (or similar) and add the QSAuth11.key file obtained in step 1 to the C:\Program Files\Quest Software\Toad for Oracle\ClientFiles\ directory.

    4. Save the transform.

    5. Install the msi using the transform (for example: msiexec /i "toad.msi" TRANSFORMS="toad.mst" /qn )

    6. The ClientFiles are copied to the user's %APPDATA%\Quest Software\Toad for Oracle\11.X\ when they first start the program and this includes the QSAuth11.key licence file injected into the installation. Toad will be licenced when opened. - medo007 11 years ago
