Question:

How can I run an unattended install of the OnTime 2007 windows client without having to give out my SQL server information to other users?

Resolution:

The OnTime Installer "OnTime2007WindowsSetup.exe" accepts two command-line parameters, which as /S and /D

The /S puts the installer into "Silent" mode (no UI), and the /D parameter allows you to override the installation directory (usage: /D=C:\Path\To\Installation)

You would have to perform a complete installation, which includes launching OnTime for the first time and configure where the database and connection settings are located.  Once you have done this, you will find a file called OnTime.config located in:

C:\Documents and Settings\[USER]\Local Settings\Application Data\Axosoft\OnTime Windows\7.0\OnTime.config

You would have to copy this directory structure (Axosoft\OnTime Windows\7.0, along with the OnTime.config) into the current users working Local Settings\Application Data path (OnTime creates this directory structure the first time it is launched, and it is therefore does not exist after installation).

More information on how to run an unattended install is available under the following blog post.
