Convert AutoIt .exe to .msi for SCCM Distribution

[PsychOfMSE]

FileInstall("C:\AutoItCitrix\CitrixOnlinePluginFull.exe",@TempDir)
FileInstall("C:\AutoItCitrix\CitrixUpdate.bat",@TempDir)

If @OSArch = "X86" Then
$regAddress = 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\ICA Client\Engine\Lockdown Profiles\All Regions\Lockdown\Client Engine'
$regKey = 'ClientName'
$regPath_x86 = RegRead($regAddress,$regKey)
FileChangeDir(@TempDir)
RunWait("CitrixUpdate.bat")
FileChangeDir(@TempDir)
RunWait('CitrixOnlinePluginFull.exe ADDLOCAL="ICA_Client,PN_Agent,SSON" SERVER_LOCATION="' $CmdLine[2] '"')
RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\ICA Client\Engine\Lockdown Profiles\All Regions\Lockdown\Client Engine", "ClientName", "REG_SZ", $regPath_x86)
RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Citrix\ICA Client\Engine\Lockdown Profiles\All Regions\Lockdown\Client Engine", "ClientName", "REG_SZ", $regPath_x86)

 Else
$regAddress = 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Citrix\ICA Client\Engine\Lockdown Profiles\All Regions\Lockdown\Client Engine'
$regKey = 'ClientName'
$regPath_x64 = RegRead($regAddress,$regKey)
FileChangeDir(@TempDir)
RunWait("CitrixUpdate.bat")
FileChangeDir(@TempDir)
RunWait('CitrixOnlinePluginFull.exe ADDLOCAL="ICA_Client,PN_Agent,SSON" SERVER_LOCATION="' $CmdLine[2] '"')
RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Citrix\ICA Client\Engine\Lockdown Profiles\All Regions\Lockdown\Client Engine", "ClientName", "REG_SZ", $regPath_x64)
RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Wow6432NodeCitrix\ICA Client\Engine\Lockdown Profiles\All Regions\Lockdown\Client Engine", "ClientName", "REG_SZ", $regPath_x64)
EndIf

Here's my current script.  I now need to convert this to a MSI package so we can push it out through SCCM.  How do I go about passing a command line variable during install through an .msi into this script?

Is it possible?

Thanks!

Brief session with google showed me this from Stackoverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/854873/how-to-make-an-msi-that-simply-wraps-an-exe-file

While I am all for proper application repackaging, can I ask why you need an MSI? Unless you are copying files other than your script itself, or are making a number of system/registry changes, SCCM should be able to handle just the .exe just fine.

The MSI wrapper is required by corporate policy.  Not sure why, but our SCCM team is extremely strict with this requirement.

I can wrap it in an .msi wrapper just fine, but my problem lies in the $CmdLine[2] pass through in:

RunWait('CitrixOnlinePluginFull.exe ADDLOCAL="ICA_Client,PN_Agent,SSON" SERVER_LOCATION="' $CmdLine[2] '"')

This is vital for passing citrix command line switches through into the executable.  If I wrap this in an .msi will the passthrough still occur?

Following scenario:

Re-Wrap to .msi and run the following command in SCCM:

CHI_LR_Citrix_Upgrade.msi /silent ADDLOCAL="ICA_Client,PN_Agent,SSON" SERVER_LOCATION="http://xenapp" ENABLE_DYNAMIC_CLIENT_NAME="NO"

Will "/silent ADDLOCAL="ICA_Client,PN_Agent,SSON" SERVER_LOCATION="http://xenapp" ENABLE_DYNAMIC_CLIENT_NAME="NO"" still be passed through to $CmdLine[2] ?
