      Description

      I am trying to install Google Earth via snapin and this is not working. Here is the file I am using and I will post my snapins settings as well so you can view them. I see the file go into the TMP folder but the program is not actually installed. Any suggestions ??

          WHy is this setup as a pack? If you’re using the exe file itself? Packs are meant to be used as a “series” of data to be run/installed using a common executable to manage (maybe script is better?)

          Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

          Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

            I did it as a pack because there was no template for an exe file as a regular snapin? What template should I select if I use snapin.

              @msaglioc99 it really depends on the file, but according to what i’m seeing, you can use MSI for the googleearthpro.exe file.

                Okay I will change the template to MSI and try to deploy it. Should any other settings be changed? That you see of?

                    Hi,

                    download the offline installer: https://support.google.com/earth/answer/168344?hl=en
                    and read the following: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/maps/qcdhk3Aj1CI

                    The important thing is OMAHA=1, but this will force auto updates.
                    Setting your Snapin to MSI would be wrong because it’s not an msi.
                    Ok i am wrong here the binary contains an msi but i cannot find the temporary path where the installer extract it to.

                    Before trying to deploy that try this in a commandline on a local computer to see if it works.

                    Good luck

                    EDIT: I tried it for you “googleearth-win-7.1.8.3036.exe OMAHA=1” installs earth silently on my system.

                    The Following should work, don’t forget to add the installer binary, i don’t do this for fun 😉

                    alt text

                    The Snapin preview should look like “cmd.exe /c googleearth-win-7.1.8.3036.exe OMAHA=1”

                    If you finally want to extract the msi out of the exe installer read this: http://www.itninja.com/blog/view/deploying-google-earth-through-gpo

                    Regards X23

                        @msaglioc99 Can you be more specific as to what worked? So anybody else looking at this knows what to do? (Sorry to sound rude, but as a limited community it helps everybody out much more having exact information). Thank you.
