Do you hate, when launching the Altiris console for the first time, that you have to install those CAB files?
Well, Altiris has provided a neat little utility to install those CAB files for you.
I found this information on the Altiris Forums and I thought it would be something really good to post here as well.
The file is called AltirisNSCABInstaller.exe. It is located in the NSCap share under Bin\Win32\X86\NS CAB Installer Package.
All you have to do it run this file and it installs those cab files for you.
I ran a test on two freshly imaged machines. I installed this on only one. On that machine I didn't get prompted to install the CABs, whereas on the other one I did.
This has now become part of my deployment process. I simply created a DS job and pointed it at that file.
This is not a completely silent install so if you don't want end users stopping the installation, I suggest running it after hours.
I would like to have the CAB files as part of the image... any updates?
