Lets get started

Step 01 – Run MSI Editor• Run your MSI Editor “InstED”• Open Logmein.msi file or Drag and drop into

application

InstallExecuteSequence table:add following 2 actions:

• action: GetLMIRegistrationCookie • condition: NOT Installed • sequence: 3710

• action: LMIGetLicense • condition: NOT Installed • sequence: 3730

InstallExecuteSequence table:1. find CreateUser action and change condition

from: CANCREATEUSER AND PASSWORDSOK="true" AND VersionNT AND REMOVE<>"ALL"

into: VersionNT AND REMOVE<>"ALL"

2. find CreateUserSetProperty action and change condition from: CANCREATEUSER AND PASSWORDSOK="true" AND VersionNT AND REMOVE<>"ALL"

into: VersionNT AND REMOVE<>"ALL"

Property table:1. find LICENSETYPE and change condition

from: 5 into: 0

**next step not needed if you used direct msi download link”

2. Right click on DEPLOYID and select "Drop Row"

Important note, since installers can be reversed make a LogMeIn account which only has the ability to add computers, then move them out of that user’s name. Once they are installed. Use this account for the following steps. To make an account login to your LogMeIn account and click users on the left hand side. Then add a new Administrator, and give that account the ability to Deploy Computers. When a new computer is added you will want to edit that user and remove rights to that computer if you choose to do it this way.http://samuelhaddad.com/2009/05/17/custom-free-silent-logmein-installer/

Save in New Folder “files”• Click File, Save As• Make a New Folder– “FILES” new name

• Save your logmein.msi inside that folder

• For this example I called the folder “FILES”– This is where you will save your customized

logmein msi and other files

EXTRA – SafeMode Logmein Start• Run Notepad or any other text application • Copy and paste command belowecho y | reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Network\LogMeIn" /VE /T REG_SZ /D "Service“

• Save as LOGMEINSAFE.bat in the same folder your saved your custom logmein.msi

• Or save anywhere to setup manually

Found script on: visit website to read commentshttp://adrianpopagh.blogspot.com/2010/04/starting-logmein-in-safe-mode-with.html

NOTE-1 | if logmein is the cause of normal boot up issues it will also stale Safe Mode with Networking!NOTE-2 | It May require updating with new releases, not likely, but maybe

What it looks like• Why does it have echo y | ?– In the event you install it again on a computer

with the reg edit made from before
