Silent Mobility NetMotion Installation

Here is a breakdown on installing the Mobility XE client (NetMotion) silently.

Prep the install files:

1. Create a TXT file with the following name “options.inf” and save it in the same directory as the install files.

Contents of options.inf:

[version]
Signature="$CHICAGO$"
[DefaultInstall]
AddReg=NMsettings
[NMsettings]
HKLM,"System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NetMotion\Mobility Client","DhcpProvidesMmsAddress",0x00010001,0
HKLM,"System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NetMotion\Mobility Client","MmsAddress",0x00000000,"<ServerIP>"

2. Update the “options.inf” with your server address (replace the <ServerIP>).

3. Execute the netmotion..exe file, browse to the “%Temp%” directory, locate the netmotion..MSI and copy it over to where your install files exist.  You can now exit the installation.

Install Script:

1. Due to the network driver installation occuring during installation and potentially interferring with the installation, the first step is to copy the install file to a local temp directory.

xcopy "%~dp0*.*" "C:\Windows\Temp\NetMotion\" /heyi

2. Next we install the .MSI:

start /w "" msiexec.exe /qn /i "%~dp0netmotion_10.10_7x86.msi" NM_OPTIONS="%~dp0options.inf" EQSI="1" REBOOT=ReallySuppress

3. Lastly, delete our install files.

rd /S /Q "C:\Windows\Temp\NetMotion"

Entire script:

xcopy "%~dp0*.*" "C:\Windows\Temp\NetMotion\" /heyi
start /w "" msiexec.exe /qn /i "%~dp0netmotion_10.10_7x86.msi" NM_OPTIONS="%~dp0options.inf" EQSI="1" REBOOT=ReallySuppress
rd /S /Q "C:\Windows\Temp\NetMotion"
