Creating controls for your application deployment is fairly simple.

Step 1:

Create a simple HTML controls with the variable names you would like to use and the values

Step 2:

Remove the character returns , spaces and form this in a single line format

Step 3:

Create a script to drive the installation based on the options entered from the wizard variable.

Initialize the variable in your script

Now, use oEnvironment.Item(“VariableName”) to leverage your newly created wizard variable. ( you can use MDT help “Create new Scripts from a Template”)

Create the application with the above created script to drive the installation

Paste the line from Step 2 to the “Display Name :” section of the application property

Step 4:

Launch the wizard and you will see the controls . When the wizard is processed, all these control names are translated in to MDT Variables ( No Additional coding required ). MDT have the capability to do this and these variables are available until the end of the deployment like any other wizard variables.

    You should add a step in your tasksequence. Open your task sequence and Add - General - Install Application ( Then select Install multiple applications ) The above will make it make the function call to all the checked application.

    You need to write that logic instructions in the wsf file that you are creating.  (Step 3) above. Let say you created the control called Java_Version In your script, you will gather that like this. Your folder structure in MDT would look like this ApplicationJavaJRE6.0jre.6u-30.exe ApplicationJavaJRE7.0jre.7u-30.exe ApplicationSetup_Java.wsf  - This will be your script file. Dim Java_Version oEnvironment.Item(Java_version) sFile = oShell.CurrentDirectory & "Java" & Java_version &"jre.6u-30.exe" oUtility.RunWithHeartbeat(sFile & " /s /v""/qn IEXPLORER=1 ADDLOCAL=ALL UPDATE=1")
