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.

can anyone help me out with the proxy setting of logmein..

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.

1. Open up LogMeIn.msi in Orca, and navigate to "property"
2. 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.
3. 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:

1. Open up a blank text document using notepad or similar
2. 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).
3. 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.

good

Can some one help me with the proxies of logmein, it seems that icannot set them up correctly

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 ===

=== 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?

Would you mind providing some urls to slimbyte's tips that you referenced?

Thanks!

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...

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. 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. 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. 3. on Property table change following property: find LicenseType property and change value from: IT into: free
4. 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. 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

I have downloaded the latest release of logmein and i'm experiencing an error everytime i tried the silent install. Have you this also ?
error: directory x64 not found

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 have the same issue. Any solutions?

OK. After few test i've found that if i use command:

msiexec.exe /qr /i "y:\logmein.msi" USERPASSWORD=pcpassword USERVERIFYPWD=pcpassword USEREMAIL=email@email.com USERWEBPASSWORD=password LicenseType=free

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

Does anybody know if this still works with the Version 4 install of logmein.msi. Its just that the options specifed above for changing in ORCA do not appear in the .msi that I have downloaded today.

Thanks

Yes, this still works. I've just one problem with this, I'm getting error message: "Profile does not exist".
I've done Autoit sctipt (just few lines, to eliminate this message.

Okay so I am a complete noob but I can not get this to work for me. Also I am looking for a way to build this so i don't have to send a batch file that the customer can edit to get the username and password with. I tried the Inno Setup as mentioned on page one but I am unable to make it work. Anyone have this working in a switchless installer or some sort of package that can be deployed via a website? Sorry if I sound like a complete NOOB but then again I are one

I am having the same problems, i also tried Autoit to fix the problem, but i have no success so far
It is possible for you to share your Autoit script code with us? ( Without the passwords )

No Problem .
Here it is:

#NoTrayIcon
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)

Run("msiexec /qr /i LogMeIn.msi")

WinWaitActive("LogMeIn Installation", "The following error occurred while registering with LogMeIn.com:")
Send("{ENTER}")

It worked with that version. The new 4.0.784 is not working for me. I am getting an 1603 error message with the most current version. after changing the installer with orca. Just using the psexec script to run it. Any Ideas?

Let's try move psexec out . Try to run the installation from local drive, let's say from C:\INS\.....

I've seen 1603 error when i tried to run MSI files from network.

with out psexec I am still getting an error message, but it is not showing on the screen since it is running quiet. BTw I do have the file on the machine I am trying to run it on.

can you provide the whole command you are running?

psexec \\Machinename -u UserID -p UserPW cmd /c c:\regfiles\logmein.msi /quiet USERPASSWORD=UserPW USERVERIFYPWD=UserPW USEREMAIL=user@site.com USERWEBPASSWORD=UserPw LicenseType=free

Names have been changed to protect the innocent. The user ID and password are to a local admin account.

Try ti change /quite to /qr

okay, changed the /qr now seeing the install screen and getting a new error about the profile not existing.

Yes, now you can see an Installation screen, but everything now should be unattended. regarding error about profile... i didn't find solution for this, so I've created an Autoit script to press Enter , see one of my previous posts.

Okay built the autoit script as you suggested added the account info to the script. It is still not running on the pc's.

One of the reasons I am running the psexec is that the machines are remote and the users that are on them have 0 admin rights. so I realy can not have them looking at the screen when this happens. So any more help you can provide would be great!

BTW thank you for you help that you have provided so far.

I didn't find solution to do the new LogMein absolutely quite, but i managed to insert All information about my LogmeIn account into MSI file (see one othe post in this thread) so, when MSI runs on user's computer, hi just see the setup wizard, but can't see my account information.

To be a little bit more secure, i put MSI inside SFX archive, configured SFX archive to automatically start installation process and then delete the MSI file .

Ok guys I found a solution for the "Profile does not exist" remove this entry from the msi and all will be well no need for the autoit script. The problem with the can't find /x64 when you try to run it silent /qn or quiet is a problem with the original msi installer if you run the original msi with the /qb you will see you also receive the can't find the x64 I would bet that they will fix this with a new installer.

dolivas, thanks!!!

Thanks alot!! thanks also to pelican

I was trying to run an Autoit process, then i downloaded AdminStudio to convert the .exe to .msi, and then i had a few problems to register the user to Logmein, but that was so complicated lol.

This solution makes it easier for all of us

I'll do my best to help!

Anyone had success to push LMI 4 by GPOs?

I did the fix for the Profile not existing, when i run the msiexec line it works fine with the /qr switch, when i double click on the msi it install fine and i dont run through any problem at all..

But i have a "Fatal error during installation" error in the eventlog when i try to push the msi through a GPO.

Anyone have ideas?

I'll try to check this next week. Now i'm working on other project and absolutely have no time to check this, sorry.

Hi, I am trying to do a silent installation of LogMeIn. Does anyone know the how to pass the machine name parameter to the .msi file through command prompt installation?

Does this fix make it so you can go back to the /Quiet switch? if so I have tried still no luck...Getting close though. gonna try the /passive switch in a few to see if that will work.

Will the progress bar even show if I am running the commands with psexec?

Hello, do you know if there is a way/property to disable the mirror driver installation?
I mean, is there something that I can enter directly on the MSI installer?

I just know that this is possible on the logmein.exe on this way:
logmein.exe install -nomirrordrv
Is there something for the installer?

Could you explain how you did that?

Has anyone found an answer to parky84's question?


Thanks

I'm trying to make a simple installer with the values already filled in. I did the following steps:

1. Downloaded the 4.0.784 LogMeIn.msi from https://secure.logmein.com/logmein.msi and opened it in Orca
2. In the Control table I filled my account info in the Text columns for USEREMAIL, USERWEBPASSWORD, USERPASSWORD, and USERVERIFYPWD
3. In the Property table I changed LicenseType to free
4. Saved the LogMeIn.msi (not Save As)

When I run the installer all of the fields are empty and it still asks me to fill them in. Does anyone know what the issue might be?

I figured it out! This also answers my above question.

1. In Orca, highlight the Property table
2. Press CTRL-R on your keyboard (or Tables -> Add Row in the menu bar)
3. In the Property field put USEREMAIL and in the Value field put your account's email address
4. Repeat steps 2-3 for USERWEBPASSWORD, USERPASSWORD, and USERVERIFYPWD

To all those seeking to install with a specified Computer Name:

Add this to the command line:

LMIDESCRIPTION=<Desired Name>

This works, as long as there are no spaces in the <Desired Name>
