						 <p>Not at all.</p> <p>This is how I did it nothing fancy. Used java -jar install.jar to install Kojo on a test machine then copied installation directory to network share.<br /> On SCCM created a script application and used the following powershell script.</p> <p>## Install Kojo 2.1 for All Users Script 20140815 Chris Jensen<br /> ##<br /> ## Tested on Windows 8 (x64)<br /> ##<br /> ## The script is designed for Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager<br /> ## Create an application and execute -&gt; powershell.exe -executionpolicy bypass -file InstallKojo.ps1<br /> ##<br /> ## Script not implementing any error handling</p> <p>## Create Kojo2 folder and copy Kojo2 from the SCCM Package to the new folder<br /> if (!(Test-Path -path &quot;$env:ProgramFiles\Kojo2&quot; -pathType Container)) {New-Item &quot;$env:ProgramFiles\Kojo2&quot; -ItemType Directory}</p> <p>$MyPath = Split-Path $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Definition</p> <p>if ((Test-Path -path &quot;$env:ProgramFiles\Kojo2&quot; -pathType Container)) {Copy-Item &quot;$MyPath\Kojo2*&quot; &quot;$env:ProgramFiles&quot; -force -recurse -verbose}</p> <p>## Create Kojo2 folder under the start menu<br /> if (!(Test-Path -path &quot;$env:ALLUSERSPROFILE\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Kojo v2&quot; -pathType Container)) {New-Item &quot;$env:ALLUSERSPROFILE\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Kojo v2&quot; -ItemType Directory}</p> <p>## Create Kojo Shortcut for all users<br /> $ws = New-Object -com WScript.Shell<br /> $Sc1 = $ws.CreateShortcut((Join-Path -Path $env:ALLUSERSPROFILE -ChildPath &quot;\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Kojo v2\Kojo-Desktop.lnk&quot;))<br /> $Sc1.TargetPath = $env:ProgramFiles + &quot;\Kojo2\bin\kojo.exe&quot;<br /> $Sc1.Description = &quot;The Kojo Learning Environment&quot;<br /> $Sc1.Save()<br /> $Sc2 = $ws.CreateShortcut((Join-Path -Path $env:ALLUSERSPROFILE -ChildPath &quot;\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Kojo v2\Kojo-Web.lnk&quot;))<br /> $Sc2.TargetPath = $env:ProgramFiles + &quot;\Kojo2\bin\webkojo.cmd&quot;<br /> $Sc2.IconLocation = &quot;%programfiles%\Kojo2\bin\kojo.exe, 0&quot;<br /> $Sc2.Description = &quot;The Kojo Learning Environment via Webstart&quot;<br /> $Sc2.Save()</p> <p>## Always assume success<br /> Exit 0</p> <p>And to uninstall</p> <p>## Remove/Uninstall Kojo2 Script 20140815 Chris Jensen<br /> ##<br /> ##<br /> ##<br /> ##<br /> ##<br /> ##</p> <p>## Remove Spotify Program Folder<br /> if ((Test-Path -path &quot;$env:ProgramFiles\Kojo2&quot; -pathType Container)) {Remove-Item &quot;$env:ProgramFiles\Kojo2&quot; -Force -Recurse}</p> <p>## Remove Spotify Program Shortcut<br /> if ((Test-Path -path &quot;$env:ALLUSERSPROFILE\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Kojo v2&quot; -pathType Container)) {Remove-Item &quot;$env:ALLUSERSPROFILE\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Kojo v2&quot; -Force -Recurse}</p> <p>##Always Assume Success<br /> Exit 0</p> <p>I'm sure this could be improved in many ways and perhaps made more efficient but it does what it's supposed to.<br /> /chris</p>

						 <p>It worked.</p> <p>I installed Kojo on a test machine like you suggested and copied the files to a network share, used SCCM and a powershell script to copy the installed files and create shortcuts.</p> <p>It's to be used on multiple computers in a classroom for teacher education.<br /> /chris</p>

						 <p>I tried the unattended IzPack install but were unable to create the xml-file, no save option at the finish stage, and I also generated the install properties file but like I said were unable to figure out what to enter besides the install path or even how to format the install path.<br /> But I'll give the install to one machine and move to another a go, perhaps not the most beautiful solution but, if it works I'm happy to go with that solution.<br /> Thanks for helping out.<br /> /chris</p>

						 <p>The following might work for you:</p> <ul> <li>Use the jar installer to install Kojo on a machine - into, say, ~/Kojo2</li> <li>zip up the Kojo2 dir (into, say, Kojo2.zip)</li> <li>Now, to do a silent install on a new machine, just unzip Kojo2.zip on that machine.</li> </ul> <p>Or, you can try an unattended IzPack install:<br /> <a href="http://docs.codehaus.org/display/IZPACK/Unattended+Installations">http://docs.codehaus.org/display/IZPACK/Unattended+Installations</a></p>

						 <p>Hi,</p> <p>I'm looking to perform an unattended installation of Kojo is this possible?<br /> I've tried 'java -jar install.jar -options install.properties', but aside from INSTALL_PATH I have no clue as to what I'm supposed to enter in the properties file, if this is even an option.</p> <p>/chris</p>
