Getting the Current Windows Username and Using it with InstallShield

Using application objects in ZENworks 7 made it easy to use the current windows users name by putting either the %CN% or %USERNAME% into the registry or ini files as required.

To get a similar result with InstallShield and MSI installs requires some extra work but is still relatively simple.

Like me, many of you have multiple Linux servers to contend with and maintain. Even though ZENworks Linux Management allows you to do numerous, helpful tasks with these servers, you still have to install the agent. Not having the luxury of direct access to these servers and I did not include the ZLM 7.3 Agent in the server build, I had a dilemma. How do I get the servers to install this 600+MB CD image without outside intervention? Once I had burned the ISO to a CD, I found that there are some hard links that can’t be copied, because they point to targets that will be used after the install completes. So copying the ISO data was out. I read some stuff about creating an Add-on in YaST and it worked beautifully. I’ve added some additional stuff that can help prevent further balding. Here’s how I did it.
