I had been planning to announce this at some point in the not too distant future, but some low life scumbag from Romania has accelerated the time table significantly by sucking up 800GB in two days of my bandwidth. All of the request referrals came from this thread - so this thread is now finished permanantly.

Installers that had been posted here are currently available at my forums, but depending on what happens with my bandwidth they may not be available for a short period of time.

very cool post RogueSpear. Thanks very much for sharing you work :)
I encourage others to share any freeware silent installers.
Some already have such as RyanVM, CoRoNe, dale5605, myself [1] [2] [3] , and others...

That's one I've been using forever now, without a problem. Are you running it from svcpack.inf? Because it wont work from there. It needs to be run from RunOnceEx.

Well I included the script because what it does it check the BIOS strings for "VMware", to verify that your install is being done in a VM as opposed to a real computer. For testing purposes, to make sure this thing will work for you, why don't you just hard code calling the file from RunOnceEx, so you know it'll run. Also, I didn't mention this before (probably need to do an edit), but this version of VMware Tools is for the latest release version (V5). I don't know if it would work in earlier versions or the more recent beta releases (V5.5).

That's a prerelease beta or RC of VMware. My installer is for the most recent final version (5.0.0.13124).

Roguespear,

finally i found an installer for ffdshow, and am able to deploy via group policy. Will save me hours.

One issue i found with it is that after doing a managed install, if the first thing performed after this install is not to open a divx or mpeg4 file, and you open say ie, or outlook, a windows installer window opens and then the machine hangs. this will continue to occur until media player is opened, and the ffdshow installer finishes, then all seems to be ok.

Do you have any ideas about how to overcome this.

Once again great job and thanks.

Cheers Gordo

I haven't had this problem. With some of the .msi files, you will get one instance of an activation. A good example is Eraser. The first time you right click anything in Explorer, the msi routine will kick in. But then that's it, you won't see it again. The only product I seem to be having a problem with these days is Spybot and it's curious since I never had the problem until quite recently. But, this is also why I haven't posted an installer for Spybot. All of the installers, both silent switchless and msi file, I have tested. Some, like FFDShow, I've been repacking for over a year now and haven't had this issue.

EDIT: Are you assigning the application to the computer in your GPO? Or to the user?

As a part of my testing, I only assign it to a computer, then in security remove from assigned users, and add the "test computer", then look for any unexpected behaviour logging on as a user, then as an administrator, before applying it across the board.

Cheers Gordo
