Is there any way to accomplish this without using command line switches? I really just want a clean installer (not silent) for my clients to run and the error dialog always gives them some concern.

this thread is awesome... i have a question...i dont know if this is the same issue as the last poster but ill ask anyways....ive done everything posted including adding the run command fields to the property table directly. when i run the installer with no switches at all everything runs smooth with all the fields prefilled. however when it gets to the part of the install process where i guess it checks against the server i get an error message saying that the profile does not exist. it gives me the option to click ok which i press and then the installer continues on its merry way all the way until a successful ending. i assume that my computer wont be under my logmein account but low and behold i go to login to my account and there is my newly setup pc in the bottom of the list. any ideas as to why it would give me this error and still work perfectly fine?? thanks for all the assistance!

I found using the /qb- switch instead of the /qn, it ignores the ..."profile does not exist" error and the msi installs successfully


Cheers

Thanks so much for the changes to the .msi and for the .bat instructions for the silent install. What a time saver!

Regarding the pc password versus access code. A lot of the people that I install this on have no pc password, and usually in this case, LMI will ask them to create and verify an Access Code. Assuming that the person does NOT have a pc password set for their computer, what will the access code be if I use the batch script for the silent install? Is there a way to edit the .msi or the .bat to account for this circumstance, and if so, how?

Also, some of my customers are Mac users. Is there a similar method to edit the LMI installer on the Mac?

Thanks!

Does this still work?

Using Orca to check the latest .msi from Logmein, I dont see some of the "actions" mentioned above.

[oskingen]

try with the latest version of logmein

[kureta]

Silent install of LogMeIn works flawlessly. I just wanted to thank you Slimbyte.

I tried to make the changes in the latest .msi file from Logmein, I can't find the "actions" mentioned above.
Sorry but I am a rookie as far as editing an msi file.
Thanks for any help,

Yeah they changed the titles. Everything is still there, just named slightly different. I'll take a look when I get home tonight.

Same as before but the only change is LMIDeployCookieReg is now GetDeployInfo and there is only one LicenseType entry.

I went through all the steps in the previous posts and at the end a yellow dialog box popped up saying it couldn't attach the computer to my account. What could be doing this?

Could it be because i'm behind a proxy server? If so how do I remedy this?

Hello friends,

Since this post was a lot of help to me, and I understand there is a lot of people just lazy enough, or even in a big hurry to get this done, I am posting here my version of the passive logmein installer. It is an exe creator preconfigured, easy to make, piece of cake! Just unrar the folder, open up and read the instructions.

For the Brazilians like myself, the readme file has instructions in portuguese too.

This is my first post here, I'll be waiting for replies!

Cheers!

Thanks for that, it's still saying "Couldn't attach computer to your account" though. As mentioned before i'm behind a proxy server, could this be the problem?

Thanks,

Yes, you need to specify the proxy settings in the Property section of the MSI. Look for ProxyServer, ProxySettings, ProxyPort, ProxyPassword, ProxyUserName and ProxyVerifyPwd

Hello. First off let me say that this thread has helped me tremendously. Thank you everyone.

I have a logmein.msi to include all the necessary switches. However, when I go to install it, I get that Yellow dialog box that Mickbrad was talking about. I am not behind a proxy of any kind and I'm stumped by this one.

Any care to venture a guess?

Thank you!!!

Hmmm... I'll have play and see if I can replicate the error and try find a solution, Just a question is the account your using passworded? I know if you run the normal install if the account your using isn't passworded it will ask you to enter a Computer Access Code.

Could you please explain what values do we put for the properties mention above, ProxyServer and ProxyPort i have entered them but i have no idea about the ProxySettings and i found one more SETProxy.

Anyone have a solution to the pc password vs access code issue?

Update*: I just figured this out, so I will post the solution in case anyone else is interested. *Note you need to have already done the above steps to make your custom LogMeIn install prior to applying the settings below.

• Open up LogMeIn.msi in Orca, and navigate to "property"
  
• Scroll down and change the values of USERPASSWORD & USERVERIFYPWD to whatever you want the PC access code set to for the computers that will be installing LogMeIn on.
  
• If you have a batch file set up for the silent install, change the values of USERPASSWORD & USERVERIFYPWD to the same PC access code that you set for the LogMeIn.msi property settings in Orca.

My batch file looks like this:

logmein.msi /qb- USERPASSWORD=******* USERVERIFYPWD=******* USEREMAIL=email@gmail.com USERWEBPASSWORD=password LicenseType=free

For those that are new to batches:

• Open up a blank text document using notepad or similar
  
• Enter the info above (replacing the *'s with the PC access code password that you set, and replacing the value of the useremail and password with your own LogMeIn account info).
  
• Save as filename.BAT

*Once that is complete, any user that wants to install LogMeIn on their computer using your Custom install, just has to double click on your batch file, and presto, LogMeIn nearly silently installs with no errors, and most importantly, the PC access code is set automatically.

I hope that helps anyone else who was seeking to perform the Silent install, but was running into the issue of having to know the username and password for each computer that you wanted to remotely access through LogMeIn.

The only issue that I still have, is that anyone who you send the Custom LogMeIn install will have access to your LogMeIn account online, because they can just get your email and LogMeIn password from the batch file. Anyone know of a way to protect this information from clients?

-NKA
PS: Sorry for the Caps, but that is how they are displayed in Orca and the batch.

Ok, for that I cannot give you an answer. But I give you a script file that can turn off logmein in Windows Startup.

good
