Everybody knows that I'm real fun of Unattended Installation. I try to do as much as possible to automate everything
. Time to time, I meet applications are not supporting unattended or silent installation. In this situation, my "Best Friend" is Autoit helps me. In the following video, you can see a demo, how by using Autoit script (BTW, any Autoit script could be compiled into .EXE file) I'm installing Avira Antivirus on Windows 7 RC1 (Win7 RC1)...Continue at source: http://www.itstuff.ca/

Copy, XCopy,....all this is JUST file-base backup.
In Windows a lot of settings stored in Registry.
I would like to recommend you take a look into the NTBACKUP (you do not have to buy anything, NTBACKUP is a part of Windows).
You can use script to run NTBACKUP and do a FULL backup of your system into the file, like BACKUP.bkf....
When you do system reinstall, just do simple Restore (select overite all) and ...reboot and you have everything fully working....

It's a lot of posts that explained how to detect HAL. Almost all of those solutions done in VB script. As well I've seen a lot of post about "problems' running VB script under WinPE. So, one day I tried to create a batch file, that allows to detect a HAL under WinPE. I did all my test under VistaPE 12 (I've used the VistaPE v.12 RC1).
Here is content of HAL_Detector.bat script:

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.

Ok guys I found a solution for the "Profile does not exist" remove this entry from the msi
LMIGetLicenseForProfile condition: NOT Installed sequence: 3720
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.
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!

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

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.0 -
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

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
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.

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.
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}")
