How do I do a silent install, must I get the LogMeIn Central ?

HI,

I have a got about 4 to 5 users at the moment. Right now, I send the deployment links to them through my C# program. However, I have got a request from the users where they do not want to be clicking on the link, opening the browser and clicking next, they basically wanna a silent install. 

 

How can I achieve it, I am using the free version, but if I have to buy, I am open for that as well.

Please advice.

  • I spent hours looking for a solution for this and never really found an answer. I was looking for a way to automatically and SILENTLY install LMI to my Pro account with a pre-set Access Code. LogMeIn Central provides this option under their Deploy tab, but it does NOT enter an Access Code. Since we are currently not using Active Directory or Windows passwords (Don't ask!) I required an Access Code that was the same for every PC. Here is how I did it:

     

    I used Orca to automate our install: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/101432-silent-install-of-logmeinmsi/page__st__140 Post #148. The thread discusses using the automatic FREE install, but you can use it for the Pro install as well. Just don't edit the LICENSETYPE property.

     

    LogMeIn provides a silent automatic install option via a Deploy .msi script. You can find it in LogMeIn Central under Deployment (If you have it).I had to edit the .msi file because doing a SILENT install of LMI does NOT allow you to input an Access Code for every PC.

     

    I followed the guidlines from the above post and edited a few options with ORCA within the LogMeIn.msi. Under the Property Table I added a few options such as USERPASSWORD with the value of whatever I wanted the access code to be. I then used a .bat script to push it out to our workstations using Novell Zenworks.

     

    Here is my .bat script:

    @echo off
    LogMeIn.msi /q ACCOUNTEMAIL=subscriptionemail USERPASSWORD=accesscode USERVERIFYPWD=verifyaccesscode USEREMAIL=subscriptionemail USERWEBPASSWORD=subscriptionpassword

     

     

    Hope this helps someone out there!

    We are having issues installing LogMeIn on remote clients and it is taking up to an hour to explain to users how to install it and then give us their username/password.

     

    I am trying to create a silent install that will set a default standard access password for the computer (we can then log on and get the workstation username and password).

     

    I've done this in the past by editing the MSI (using Orca) but all the parameters have been changed recently and I no longer see the parameters I need.

     

    Anyone provide assistance? A batch script would be fine as opposed to editing the MSI.

        Any update on this ? I have the same issue.

  • Hi Guys,

     

    I was wondering is there any script to install Logmein through batch file silently.

     

    Thanks,

    We have an msi file we need to install on mutiple endpoints with out intervention.   I've got a script which accesses the msi file on network share successfully.  However I need this LogMeIn msi file to automatically answer the 'next' and any prompts in the install process, so the application can automatically be installed.  

     

    Does anyone have an example or direction on how to set up the msi file this way?

     

    thanks

      To perform a silent installation connected into your LMI account:

       

      msiexec.exe /i LogMeIn.msi DEPLOYID=%YOUR-DEPLOYMENT-ID% INSTALLMETHOD=5 FQDNDESC=1 /QUIET

       

      *Note: You will need to get the deployment ID from the "Deploy Installation Package" page of your LogMeIn Central account. This does NOT work on Windows 10 Build 1803, for that version of Windows, you cannot use any method of account auto-attach, instead download the generic installer from https://secure.logmein.com/logmein.msi and a silent install can be performed with:

       

      msiexec.exe /i LogMeIn.msi INSTALLMETHOD=5 FQDNDESC=1 /qb

    I have found the post where in the past it was possible to install the logmein deployment msi file as a silent install and include the access code. I am not able to find anything newer on this topic. Is it possible to install the logmein msi file and include the access code with it? I am trying to install it as part of out image deployment, this will allow us to have one less step at the end.

     

    Thanks,

      Hello, yes it is possible just use this cmd line

       

      msiexec.exe /i LogMeIn.msi /quiet FQDNDESC=0 INSTALLMETHOD=5​​ LMIDESCRIPTION="NAME-OF-YOU-COMPUTER" LMIACCESSCODE=passwordtoaccess DEPLOYID=XXX 

       

      LMIDescription is the name on how you wil find the computer in Central under computers list

      LMIAccesscode is the computer code that will be used to access the computer when you try to connect, if you do nt add the LMIaccesscode then you will must use credentials of the remote pc

      create deployment links and use them for the DELPLOYID

       

      I hope it helps you I has been using this to install more than 10,000 LMI computers
