I have a bunch of machines which I am permitted to deploy boinc. (I run the Rosetta project).
I plan to deploy / maintain upgrades through group policy in Active Directory and SMS.

However, I have been stuck using thelazyslug MST generator and that is not updated very frequently. I also do not wish to depend solely to that program.

Is there any documentation on all the switches I can pass to the .msi package where I can customize things like team name, user id, project, run silent, don't install this ect ect? Perhaps there is a local transform file generator around?

I plan to update from 5.10.45 or whatever it was in a few days and I really don't have the time / opportunity or man power to go machine to machine.

Thanks.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa367988.aspx has all the switches available.

I just found a step by step page :

The Lazy Slug's Guide To... ...easy deployment and maintenance of BOINC on your network.

That's what Mike referred to when he said

Plus, that guide was already outdated when 5.8 or so came out, and 6.x makes a lot of changes to the installer.
