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.

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!

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?

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

Hi Everyone,

Anyone know how to get a customed logmein.msi file to install correctly using a group policy deployment?

The logmein MSI file I've created runs fine on multiple machines and doesn't show any errors when run manually by double clicking the MSI in windows explorer. The machines show up in the logmein website fine. Whenever the MSI tries to install via a Group Policy object it fails and the only information I can find in the event log is an entry saying:

"The assignment of application LogMeIn from policy SW LogMeIn failed. The error was : Fatal error during installation. "

After turning on logging for MSI I get the following information:
=== Verbose logging started: 24/07/2008 15:31:13 Build type: SHIP UNICODE 3.01.4000.4042 Calling process: \??\C:\WINDOWS\system32\winlogon.exe ===

MSI © (78:38) [15:31:13:093]: DoAdvertiseScript is returning: 1603
=== Verbose logging stopped: 24/07/2008 15:31:13 ===

I'm thinking the issue is related to the fact that the install is running under the SYSTEM account and that theres maybe a limited windows profile loaded etc. Can someone help me fix it please?

Much appreciated,
Joe

Well I've used the tips slimbyte has given on various boards to make the logmein auto install, it works flawlessly (unless i hit group policy issues which is understandable) BUT recently someone else has added me as a Administrator on their LogMeIn account giving my account TWO profiles....so now when i run my custom install it fails because it doesnt know what profile to install under....I cant find a *.msi file switch that will tell it to use my account.....

Thoughts? Ideas?

He is thread three in this big thread...

http://www.msfn.org/board/Silent-Install-o...ded#entry678473

That same issue has been copied onto other boards through out the Internet...I used it to kick start my learning into customizing the install...but I cant seem to find a way around my current issue...

[starsipping]

Alas, despite following all the advice in this post I keep getting the popup after the silent install that states "Could not attach this computer to your LogMeIn account. Please open LogMeIn and confirm your account details" following the successful silent installation.

Here's what I've done so far following the advice of these posts:

• Using Orca, I've modified the LogMeIn.msi file freshly downloaded from the LogMeIn.com website
  
• I added all the suggested changes, in the following order:

• 1. on InstallExecuteSequence table, find GetDeployInfo action and change condition from: UILevel=2 AND UPGRADEPRODUCT<>1 AND InstallMode<>"Remove" into: UPGRADEPRODUCT<>1 AND InstallMode<>"Remove"
  
• 2. on InstallExecuteSequence table add following 3 actions: action: GetLMIRegistrationCookie condition: NOT Installed sequence: 3710 action: LMIGetLicense condition: NOT Installed sequence: 3730 action: LMIGetLicenseForProfile condition: NOT Installed sequence: 3720
  
• 3. on Property table change following property: find LicenseType property and change value from: IT into: free
  
• 4. on InstallExecuteSequence table, find CreateUserSetProperty action and change condition from: CANCREATEUSER AND PASSWORDSOK="true" AND VersionNT AND REMOVE<>"ALL" into: VersionNT AND REMOVE<>"ALL"
  
• 5. on InstallExecuteSequence table, find CreateUser action and change condition from: CANCREATEUSER AND PASSWORDSOK="true" AND VersionNT AND REMOVE<>"ALL" into: VersionNT AND REMOVE<>"ALL"

• I made sure that when I saved the "LogMeIn.msi" file after editing it with Orca that the file size was 9,776KB both before and after the minor modificatoins listed above so it's a valid and functional file.
  
• I created a custom batch file that has the following commandline: msiexec.exe /qn /i "y:\logmein.msi" USERPASSWORD=pcpassword USERVERIFYPWD=pcpassword USEREMAIL=email@email.com USERWEBPASSWORD=password LicenseType=free

I used the same password for "pcpassword" alluded above and the "email@email.com" and "password" were the valid e-mail/password that I use to log into my account at https://www.logmein.com. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? My goal is to get a truly silent installation that I can push out via login script.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hi there. I'm brand-new here, but I have an idea as to how to solve the password issue. I was wondering this myself. I love the idea of a silent, one-click install and everything, but I'm a little uneasy about having my account login details included in every file I send to somebody. Even though most people probably won't be savvy enough to find the password, I still don't want to have that floating around there.

So, how about this? LogMeIn Free lets you create a list of security codes that are good for one use only. The procedure is, you enter in your e-mail and password to log in, and then immediately after that, you're asked for the security code. Once you enter that, you're in. LMI gives you the option to generate some 40 of these random, one-time-use codes. So you can generate a list of 40, print them (or store them on your phone or wherever), and then just use them whenever you need to log in. And then, you can just change your LMI account password to some throwaway password, as the main security will be coming from the random security codes.

How does that sound? I'm trying to think of any flaws in this idea, but offhand it seems like it might be the perfect secure solution for this.

Another option, which really isn't all that appealing, is to temporarily change your account password whenever you deploy the MSI, and then once the client has it installed, you change your LMI password back to your original one. But still, this way, there's the possibility that the user could log in to your account before you change your password back.

What do you guys think of the idea of the security code? I understand it would be a little more cumbersome, but do you think it's worth it? Or has anybody else found a better way to deploy the MSI like this without having their account password floating around in a batch file or something?

I'd appreciate your thoughts!

Luke

The solution I used was similar to yours - I created a second LMI "User" account (not an administrator account) with rights only to the Unassigned group. Then, we use this account to add new machines via a script and just monitor the Unassigned group every few days or so and move newly added machines out of it. That way, the account that's embedded in the script cannot do much of anything other than add machines, and once we move the machines out of the "Unassigned" area, problem solved!

Also, we added to our batch file for the silent LMI install to run the "net user /d LogMeInRemoteUser" command after finishing the install to purge this local user account. That way, the pesky "Computer Access Code" is removed as the default option when you try to remotely administer a machine from www.logmein.com.

I'm can install LogMeIn, but during installation i still getting error message: "Profile does not exist"
