We have received many questions about whether UltraViewer has an MSI file and how to deploy UltraViewer through Group Policy Object (GPO) without an MSI file. While UltraViewer does not have an MSI file available, we understand the need to deploy the UltraViewer installation to multiple computers on your network. We provide a parameter for our setup file (Setup.exe) that enables automatic and silent installation.

To perform a silent and automatic installation, please use the following command line argument: UltraViewer_Setup.exe -supersilent. You can refer to this example for deploying an .EXE file using GPO:

1. On the Active Directory, run gpmsc.exe.

   

2. Obtain UltraViewer_Setup_{language}.exe by visiting the download section. For example, visit https://ultraviewer.net/en/download.html and download the latest version. Rename it from UltraViewer_setup_6.6_en.exe to UltraViewer_setup_en.exe.
   
       Add UltraViewer_Setup_en.exe via login script:

   1. On the Group Policy Management, click the Domain Policy.

   2. Make sure that the user you want to enforce the login script for is part of the Security filtering.

      This example uses Ksa One user to run the MSI package upon logging in.

3. Right-click on Default Domain Policy and click Edit.

   

4. On the Group Policy Management Editor:

   1. Go to User Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > Scripts (Logon/Logoff).

   2. Click Logon and then click Properties.

   

5. In Logon Properties, under the Scripts tab, click Add.

   

6. For Add Script, type the UltraViewer_Setup_en.exe location, and /VERYSILENT for the Script Parameters. Another available options is /SILENT:

   Instructs Setup to be silent or very silent. When Setup is silent the wizard and the background window are not displayed but the installation progress window is. When a setup is very silent this installation progress window is not displayed. Everything else is normal so for example error messages during installation are displayed and the startup prompt is.

   In rare cases, a restart may be required. If a restart is necessary and the '/NORESTART' command isn't used (as shown below) and the Setup is silent, it will display a 'Reboot now?' message box. If it's in 'very silent' mode, it will reboot without asking.

7. Click OK.

   

   It should show that the path of UltraViewer_Setup_en.exe  has been added.

8. Click Ok.

   

Users should run UltraViewer_Setup_en.exe /verysilent mode upon logging in. 

Not only UltraViewer, but many software with a setup file that can be compiled using Inno Setup or other installation packages, can utilize these parameters and approaches to perform remote installations through Group Policy Object (GPO) without an MSI file.
