Anyone know how to install cisco VPN /silent?

REG ADD %KEY%\006 /VE /D "Cisco VPN" /F
REG ADD %KEY%\006 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\CiscoVPN\setup.exe /SILENT" /F

thats what i got know it doesnt work anyone could help me out that would be great thanks.

What I did was download the .msi version of the installer and make a switchless silent installer out of it. Check out Keytotime's 7-Zip installer tutorial for how to make one. It's a pretty straightforward install.

where do i download the MSI version i coulnt find it on there website.

For Windows, they almost always list two downloads for any given version. One obviously is InstallShield, and the other they usually subtitle as "Windows Installer".

Thanks man ill look around

I would give you a direct link to it, but as you know it's a secure server that requires a login and acknowledging about half a dozen disclaimers. Once, you get the file if you have any further questions about how to make the installer, just give me a shout.

Hi,

I have a problem to edit the cisco vpn installer. I have the version 4.8.01.0300 and its created with InstallShield. But theres no msi and also it doesnt copy any msi to the temp folder. There are just these files:

data1.cab

data1.hdr

data2.cab

DelayInst.exe

ikernel.ex_

installservice.exe

InstHelper.dll

layout.bin

Setup.bmp

Setup.exe

Setup.ini

setup.inx

sig.dat

Also an administrative installation doesn't work.

I hope someone can help me

The procedure in the Unattended Install Guide works for me.

Hi,

thx for the post. But I am not looking for a way to make a unattended installation. I want to edit the package with admin studio

for msi:

start /wait msiexec /i c:\temp\vpnclient\vpnclient_setup.msi /qb-

for installshield:

start /wait setup.exe /s

but you need first record the installation, to get "silent answer file" with other machine. swithc is /R and after installation you can find that setup.iss file in your windows directory. it should look something like this.

you can also put .pcf files into installation directory an d your policy files will be automatically imported into "profiles" directory.

If you want to do that then you need to download the Microsoft Installer version from Cisco. I think I had mentioned that earlier in this thread. And about the profiles.. you'll need to incorporate a batch or something similar to make them read only if you have a user password saved.

My fault. Sorry and thank u

Hi djankka,

I have question about editing the installer or msi to automatically importing the pcf file. Any way you can post the source code for doing this task?

thank you
