Product:TIBCO Spotfire Analyst
Versions:7.12 and Higher versions
Summary:
How to extract Spotfire Analyst/Desktop *.msi file for silent installation/software deployment
Details:
From Spotfire 7.12 onwards, there are two separate installers. One is a "single user installer" and the other is "shared_computer" (machine) installer.
The "single user installer" will install the Spotfire Analyst for the particular user who installed it, at "C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\Local\TIBCO"
The "machine installer" installs the Spotfire Analyst for all the users at "C:\Program Files (x86)\TIBCO".
"*.msi" file maybe required to install Spotfire Analyst/Desktop silently.
Resolution:
- Run the .exe and leave it on the first screen.

This will unpack the .msi file @ C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\Local\Package Cache\{CFFA4557-76F9-4865-A607-FC7F0007149A}v10.0.0
- Single user installer is (setup-single-user-10.0.0.exe)
- For shared computer installer "setup-shared-computer-10.0.0.exe" you will find the files at "C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\{CFFA4557-76F9-4865-A607-FC7F0007149A}v10.0.0"
- One of the folders will contain the "ts-setup.msi" and the other will have "ts-setup.exe".
- Copy the ".msi" file to some location before you quit and exit the running installer.

The above image shows the directory for the .msi and the .exe files.
Example:
Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) requires "*.msi" file for Spotfire Analyst/Desktop to be installed/deployed. Similarly, there are various other System Management Software's which require "*.msi" file for Spotfire Analyst/Desktop installation.
