There have been many posts on silent installation of IntelliType and IntelliPoint. I read them all but was still confused as to who actually is able to get it to install with which method. So, I tried it myself and got it to work on GUIRunOnce. It'll show the setup windows (I like that -- let's me know it is installing), but requires no input from user.

Extract both packages and copy the folders SETUP to location where you will be installing from. I renamed the SETUP folders Intellitype 5.0 and IntelliPoint 5.2. Don't worry about the other files--you only need files in SETUP folders.

Then check your registry for the model numbers. The keys are:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\IntelliPoint\Model
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\IntelliType Pro\Model

What you actually need is the number in parentheses, not the dword!

Let your mm value be your model number for IntelliPoint and kb value for your IntelliType.

My mm is 2 digits but the kb is 4 digits.

Here are the commands for silent installation:

"%CDDRIVE%\IntelliPoint 5.5\IP55.msi" mm=16 /qr /norestart
"%CDDRIVE%\IntelliType 5.0\ITP50.msi" kb=1003 /qr /norestart

Don't forget to modify your path of install.

Put these in your GUIRunOnce file.

Also, if you have an Office Keyboard, you'll need IntelliType 5.0. IntelliType 5.2 does not support the Office Keyboard; hence, I have not updated to 5.2.

The kb value for Microsoft Office Keyboard is 1003 and
Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer 2.0 (which has the tilt wheel) is 16.

Hope this helps those looking for this.

Open the oemsetup.ini file.
Change into this

[MOUSE]

DEVICE=IMO <--- your mouse ID code (doh)
SHORTCUTS=1
PS2=2


Open Setup.ini
Change into this

[Startup]
CmdLine=
SuppressWrongOS=Y
ScriptDriven=0
ScriptVer=1.0.0.1
DotNetOptionalInstallIfSilent=N
OnUpgrade=1
RequireExactLangMatch=0404,0804
Product=Microsoft IntelliPoint 5.5
PackageName=IP55.msi
MsiVersion=2.0.2600.0
EnableLangDlg=N
DoMaintenance=N
ProductCode={EBC91840-41E1-4CC3-AC11-0B889546223C}
ProductVersion=5.50.0000
SuppressReboot=Y <---------
PackageCode={E6F834BC-C898-4739-B7BB-2584DBE68348}

Anybody know where intellimouse stores its settings? Registry search doesn't turn up anything when looking for point32.exe or IntelliMouse...

[Shindo_Hikaru]

It is a driver that is usually intergrated the advance settings in your mouse panel in the control panel.

If you're referring to IntelliPoint mice made by Microsof, try the HKLM\Software section. Read my initial thread!

I'm not sure what IntelliMouse is.

Put these in your GUIRunOnce file.

[GuiRunOnce] is a section of the answer file winnt.sif which is located in the i386 folder.
i.e. it is a section of a file, not the file itself.

So this can only installed on one machine?

If i have a different keyboard and mouse on another pc its useless?



No other way then this one?

[spacesurfer]

In such case, you write a batch script that asks if you want to install or not. If you are installing on computer without, then skip installation.
