Mailbag: How to perform an unattended installation of Visual SourceSafe 2005
Question:
I have seen your documentation related to deployment and unattended installation of Visual Studio 2005 and the .NET Framework 2.0. I would like to also perform an unattended installation of Visual SourceSafe 2005. How can I do that?
Answer:
Visual SourceSafe 2005 uses the same setup.exe wrapper and same installation logic as the Visual Studio 2005 family of products. As a result, you can use the same techniques to deploy Visual SourceSafe 2005 or perform an unattended installation. In particular, the following topics will probably be most useful to you:
- How to create an administrative install point and install using Group Policy
- How to suppress reboots during unattended install
- Enterprise network deployment readme (this document specifically talks about Visual Studio 2005 but the topics apply equally to Visual SourceSafe 2005)
