Kogics

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.
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.
Thanks for helping out.

It should work.

I have not tried the unattended IzPack install myself. Will play with it soon and post here if I get it to work.

Are you trying this out in a setting with multiple machines? A school? Would be good to know.

It worked.

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.

It's to be used on multiple computers in a classroom for teacher education.

It worked.

Good to know.

It's to be used on multiple computers in a classroom for teacher education.

Interesting. May I ask, where?

Sure, it's at Malmö högskola (Malmo University) Sweden.

Good to know.

Would you mind sharing your script so that others in a similar situation can benefit from your solution?

Not at all.

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.
On SCCM created a script application and used the following powershell script.

## Install Kojo 2.1 for All Users Script 20140815 Chris Jensen
##
## Tested on Windows 8 (x64)
##
## The script is designed for Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager
## Create an application and execute -> powershell.exe -executionpolicy bypass -file InstallKojo.ps1
##
## Script not implementing any error handling

## Create Kojo2 folder and copy Kojo2 from the SCCM Package to the new folder
if (!(Test-Path -path "$env:ProgramFiles\Kojo2" -pathType Container)) {New-Item "$env:ProgramFiles\Kojo2" -ItemType Directory}

$MyPath = Split-Path $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Definition

if ((Test-Path -path "$env:ProgramFiles\Kojo2" -pathType Container)) {Copy-Item "$MyPath\Kojo2*" "$env:ProgramFiles" -force -recurse -verbose}

## Create Kojo2 folder under the start menu
if (!(Test-Path -path "$env:ALLUSERSPROFILE\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Kojo v2" -pathType Container)) {New-Item "$env:ALLUSERSPROFILE\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Kojo v2" -ItemType Directory}

## Create Kojo Shortcut for all users
$ws = New-Object -com WScript.Shell
$Sc1 = $ws.CreateShortcut((Join-Path -Path $env:ALLUSERSPROFILE -ChildPath "\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Kojo v2\Kojo-Desktop.lnk"))
$Sc1.TargetPath = $env:ProgramFiles + "\Kojo2\bin\kojo.exe"
$Sc1.Description = "The Kojo Learning Environment"
$Sc1.Save()
$Sc2 = $ws.CreateShortcut((Join-Path -Path $env:ALLUSERSPROFILE -ChildPath "\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Kojo v2\Kojo-Web.lnk"))
$Sc2.TargetPath = $env:ProgramFiles + "\Kojo2\bin\webkojo.cmd"
$Sc2.IconLocation = "%programfiles%\Kojo2\bin\kojo.exe, 0"
$Sc2.Description = "The Kojo Learning Environment via Webstart"
$Sc2.Save()

## Always assume success
Exit 0

And to uninstall

## Remove/Uninstall Kojo2 Script 20140815 Chris Jensen
##
##
##
##
##
##

## Remove Spotify Program Folder
if ((Test-Path -path "$env:ProgramFiles\Kojo2" -pathType Container)) {Remove-Item "$env:ProgramFiles\Kojo2" -Force -Recurse}

## Remove Spotify Program Shortcut
if ((Test-Path -path "$env:ALLUSERSPROFILE\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Kojo v2" -pathType Container)) {Remove-Item "$env:ALLUSERSPROFILE\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Kojo v2" -Force -Recurse}

##Always Assume Success
Exit 0

I'm sure this could be improved in many ways and perhaps made more efficient but it does what it's supposed to.

Thanks, Chris!
