Visual Studio 2010 unattended setup
To deploy Visual Studio 2010 in unattended mode, you must create the unattend file for the Visual Studio 2010 installation.
You must create a unique .INI unattend file for each target operation system. For example, unattend file created for Windows 7 would not be usable for Windows 2008 and vise versa.
To create a answer file, follow these steps:
Step 1:
Create Visual Studio unattended .ini file
Insert the Visual Studio 2010 DVD or map the ISO file and ignore the autorun message.
open a command line and type the following:
<your drive>:\setup\Setup.exe /createunattend C:\MyAnswerFileForVS2010_W2K8R2SP0x64.ini
On the Options page, select the features intended to be deployed, and then click Save Settings
Step 2:
Create MSDN Studio unattended .ini file
open a command line and type the following:
<your drive>:\msdn\setup\Setup.exe /createunattend <path to my MSDN INI-file>
Sample:
D:\msdn\setup\setup.exe /createunattend c:\MSDN2008_deployment.ini
On the Options page, select the features intended to be deployed, and then click Save Settings
Run Unattended Setup
Step 1:
Run unattended Visual Studio setup on a client machine
Verify that Visual Studio 2010 is available on the network.
open a command line and type the following:
\\<servername>\VS2010\Setup\setup.exe /unattendfile <path to your VS2010 INI-file>
Sample:
\\server\VS2010\Setup\setup.exe /unattendfile \\server\VS2010\VS2010_deployment.ini
Step 2:
Run unattended MSDN Library setup on a client machine (Optional)
open a command line and type the following:
\\<servername>\VS2010\msdn\Setup\setup.exe /unattendfile <path to MSDN INI-file>
Sample:
<\\server\VS2010\msdn\Setup\setup.exe /unattendfile \\server\VS2010\MSDN2010_deployment.ini
