What I did was download the .msi version of the installer and make a switchless silent installer out of it. Check out Keytotime's 7-Zip installer tutorial for how to make one. It's a pretty straightforward install.

For Windows, they almost always list two downloads for any given version. One obviously is InstallShield, and the other they usually subtitle as "Windows Installer".

I would give you a direct link to it, but as you know it's a secure server that requires a login and acknowledging about half a dozen disclaimers. Once, you get the file if you have any further questions about how to make the installer, just give me a shout.

Hi,
I have a problem to edit the cisco vpn installer. I have the version 4.8.01.0300 and its created with InstallShield. But theres no msi and also it doesnt copy any msi to the temp folder. There are just these files:
data1.cab
data1.hdr
data2.cab
DelayInst.exe
ikernel.ex_
installservice.exe
InstHelper.dll
layout.bin
Setup.bmp
Setup.exe
Setup.ini
setup.inx
sig.dat

Also an administrative installation doesn't work.
I hope someone can help me

The procedure in the Unattended Install Guide works for me.

Hi,
thx for the post. But I am not looking for a way to make a unattended installation. I want to edit the package with admin studio

for msi:
start /wait msiexec /i c:\temp\vpnclient\vpnclient_setup.msi /qb-

for installshield:
start /wait setup.exe /s

but you need first record the installation, to get "silent answer file" with other machine. swithc is /R and after installation you can find that setup.iss file in your windows directory. it should look something like this.

you can also put .pcf files into installation directory an d your policy files will be automatically imported into "profiles" directory.

If you want to do that then you need to download the Microsoft Installer version from Cisco. I think I had mentioned that earlier in this thread. And about the profiles.. you'll need to incorporate a batch or something similar to make them read only if you have a user password saved.

Hi djankka,

I have question about editing the installer or msi to automatically importing the pcf file. Any way you can post the source code for doing this task?

thank you
