The conventional way to install Infor Smart Office on client machines is to use Microsoft ClickOnce network deployment to get an isolated, secure, self-updating application that can be installed and run with minimal user interaction.

However, if you want to run Infor Smart Office client in a virtualized desktop environment, the Microsoft ClickOnce deployment is not recommended. Instead, install the Infor Smart Office client using the Windows installer (InforSmartOffice.msi) bundled in the software package.

The Windows installer launch a sequence of user interface screens that lead the user through the installation process and gather necessary information. In this case the user needs to enter the Smart Office server URL and the location of the Smart Office features.

For mass deployment it’s more convenient to have a silent scripted install without user interaction and this is possible if you know the name of the public properties for the Smart Office Windows installer and apply the appropriate MSI Command-Line Options.

The public properties for the Smart Office installation are SERVERURL and FEATURELOCATION as described in the Infor Smart Office Installation Guide [ISOIG].

Here is an example of a silent install using msiexec on the command-line run as administrator.

msiexec.exe /I InforSmartOffice.msi /QN /L*V iso_msi_install.log SERVERURL=httpsUrl_to_isoserver FEATURELOCATION=httpsUrl_to_features 

Explanation of options and parameters:
/I 				Install option
InforSmartOffice.msi 		Set the location path to the InforSmartOffice.msi file
/QN 				No user interface option
/L*V 				Log all information with Verbose output option
iso_msi_install.log 		EXISTING location path to the log file
SERVERURL=https... 		Smart Office server URL
FEATURELOCATION=https...	Smart Office feature URL

If you don’t have sufficient administrative privileges to do the installation for all users on the machine you will get a failed installation error code [1925] in the log file.
