pinout Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 Trying to figure out how to silently install the IntelliPoint 5.0 software...Downloaded from hereOnly information I could find was here at AppDeploy.comYou extract the files from the EXE and run OEMSETUP.EXE with an OEMSETUP.INI, this works, but it launches a second process (setup.exe), so using START /WAIT is pretty useless.Anyone have another method for installing this?

Strat79 Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 Not for sure this will work but I took out the condition that disallows \IP5_0ENG\IPoint\SETUP\IP5.msi to run independently by itself. So now you can just use the .msi with the /qn or /qb switch. I can't upload it here cause it's too big. If you want to give it a shot PM me and I will send it to you somehow.

pinout Posted June 5, 2004 Author Share Posted June 5, 2004 Whats the tool called again that modifies MSI's ? I could do it myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XtremeMaC Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 no that msi file is pretty annoyingit says it won't work if the setup.exe is not launchedand the setup.exe in that folder, when u launch it, it says it will not work unless u start the setup.exe on the folder 1 level above.i've tried many things but didn't really look for the launch conditions of the msisomeone could probably figure it outeither go get devstudio / adminstudioor wininstallLe etc...

pinout Posted June 6, 2004 Author Share Posted June 6, 2004 Okay, I used WinINSTALL LE to remove the Launch Condition "Installed OR MM" ("The file you are trying to open is part of Microsoft IntelliPoint Setup. To run Microsoft IntelliPoint Setup, double-click Setup.exe in the root directory.")But now when I run the MSI I get "Error 1406.Could not write to value Model to key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\IntelliPoint. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel."Is there something else I am supposed to modify/remove?

Strat79 Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Like I said, I didnt know if it would work or not. Apparently not. Sorry, hope someone can figure it out for ya. Could always use install rite or script it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Frink Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Slightly OT question: does Intellipoint work with a Logitech mouse? Nothing fancy, just a regular 3-button optical. I want to include Intellipoint in my setup, but I have both MS and Logitech optical mice in my office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strat79 Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 @Professor FrinkI have a logitech MX300 and couldn't get Intellipoint to work with mine, Said something about conflicting or something. But it may work on yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big poppa pump Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 There are additional registry keys that needs to be configured and imported when modifying the msi file with WinInstall LE. You need to specify the language settings (English by default), the type of hardware (a number that identifies what type of mouse or keyboard you are using).The best way to go about configuring it is to first install the Intellitype software and then export all the registry settings for Intellitype under HKCU and HKLM. Once that is done, all you have to do is to remove the install condition and also create the necessary registry keys that are created when you install the Intelli software. Also make sure that the language and hardware settings are specified correctly.I have used this method with great success and have no problems installing the intelli software in my unattended setup.

XtremeMaC Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 i'll try to play with the msi and post my results herebtw i'm sure intelli software checks the hardware id's (that's obvious!)for that reason u wouldn't be able to use a logitech mouse with ms software??? and to me it sounds very awkward, anywaysif u want to use 2 mouse software u could have a cdshell file to boot and ask ppl which type of mouse they use and from there u can install the according software I believe..

Joe User 99 Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Okay, I used WinINSTALL LE to remove the Launch Condition "Installed OR MM" ("The file you are trying to open is part of Microsoft IntelliPoint Setup.

Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel."Is there something else I am supposed to modify/remove?Where it says could not write value Model to key...It is trying to write the mouse model, as selected in the dialog, to the registry.This needs to be set (its a property set via a custom action.)Here at work, most of our systems use the same model mouse, so I just pre set it in a transform.but here are the values I pulled out of the MSI for various models:Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer 2.0 (With Tilt Wheel) = 16Wireless Optical Mouse 2.0 (With Tilt Wheel) =15IntelliMouse Explorer 4.0 (With Tilt Wheel) = 14Basic Optical Mouse = 13* No 12 listed *Optical Mouse = 11Wireless Optical Mouse = 10Wireless Wheel Mouse = 9Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer = 8Wheel Mouse Optical = 7Trackball Optical = 6Trackball Explorer = 5IntelliMouse Web = 4IntelliMouse Optical = 3IntelliMouse Explorer = 2Microsoft Mouse = 1IntelliMouse = 0This HAS to be set. Now I said I added it into a transform, but you could probably just add a public property for it to the property table of the MSI, that would allow you to set it from the command line. The property MM is being set via a custom action right now, but there shoudn't be any reason you couldn't add MM to the property table, then just add that as a commandline option like so:IP50.msi MM=3 (This probably wouldn't work by default, you would have to modify the property table.)Let me know if you need more help.

Hey thanks a lot Joe User 99, using the MM switch worked without any additional modifications to the MSI.100% working now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinout Posted June 11, 2004 Author Share Posted June 11, 2004 Additional note...I tried the MM switch with the original MSI file, and it appears to work..So it appears that modifying the MSI may not even be necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XtremeMaC Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 is it just me or do i see a whole big quote in there?u sure u tried that switch with the unmodified version of msi?(just making sure I haven't tried yet...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinout Posted June 11, 2004 Author Share Posted June 11, 2004 Yes, it was with the unmodified MSI(Something wrong with quoting? against the rules? I dont think I ever read the rules) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
