MSI Installer

My company uses a piece of software that has been developed using LabVIEW to communicate with one of our products. It was compiled using the application builder and we have never had anyone raise an issue with it.

 

I have just received an email from the I.T. department saying that they would like the installer changed. Does anybody know if their request is possible?

 

"The bit I would like to request your assistance with is our ****** software.  Although I am sure this software works well, our issue is the way it has to be installed.  It requires administrative rights and it appears to be (and I am not a developer) poorly compiled as although it is an MSI, it does not conform to industry standards and allow us to use any of the standard switches (i.e. for quiet install or returning information to SCCM).  This means that we cannot package the software and make it available (both inside and outside the ***** network) via System Centre, which would make it available to all users.  A well complied MSI file is the industry standard so I would assume that this would benefit our customers as well as our staff??"

If you have still the source code (VIs in the LabVIEW project and build specifications), you could create a new stand-alone installer. There are some advanced options you can access too, like creating a silent installer:
