I'd like to install intellipoint 5.5 without using the provided setup.exe -- shouldn't this be as trivial as copying the correct files to the correst directory?

1. Extract contents of the file using uniextract

2. I suppose you are using english language, so you would need a file oemsetup.ini with following lines in it:

[Mouse]Language=1033

DEVICE=WIME2

SHORTCUTS=0

3. Run the command

path

oemsetup.exe oemsetup.ini

OR

This process has gone tricky in 5.5, so after unpacking you can simply use:

start "" /wait IP55.msi mm=16  /qb-! /norestart

Thanks for the suggestions. Neither method worked. The oemsetup.exe route didn't do anything (just typed the command after creating the ini file and nothing happened.) The

start "" /wait IP55.msi mm=16 /qb-! /norestart

didn't work either.

It launched the setup dialog but it quickly disappears. If you simply run "IP55.msi" you get an error instructing you to run the setup.exe in the root directory.

Other ideas?

Try

msiexec /i IP55.msi MM=3 REBOOT=REALLYSUPRESS /qb

Try

msiexec /i IP55.msi MM=3 REBOOT=REALLYSUPRESS /qb

No luck with that either:

The file you are trying to open is part of Microsoft IntelliPoint Setup. To run MS IP Setup, double-click Setup.exe in the root directory.

Works for me.

Extract the contents of IP55_32Eng.exe

Go to the IPoint\Setup folder

You need IP55.msi and the Files folder and sub folders.
