CMAK 1.3 silent install

When trying to deploy a CMAK 1.3 profile to Windows 2000
systems the silent install fails because the user is
prompted to confirm upgrading to Connection Manager 1.3.

Does anyone know any way to force a yes and not prompt
the user?

Thanks.

The default behavior for a CMAK 1.3 profile created on Win2K3 is non-silent.
Has there been any changes made to this profile after creation?
 
I am running the installer from within a script by
calling:

Profile.exe/q:a /c:"cmstp.exe Profile.inf /ni /ns /s /su"

But on Win2k the install fails silently if Connection
Manager is not already 1.3. Any ideas on how to force the
install?

If you see below,

Profile.exe/q:a /c:"cmstp.exe Profile.inf /ni /ns /s /su"

you are passing /s as one of the switches to cmstp.exe. This kicks of a
silent installation. Remove this switch to have an interactive install
experience. During silent install if there is a failure, the error is not
shown.

See cmstp.exe /? for more information on all the supported switches.

I am trying to install the profile silently to hundreds
of laptops through a login script. On Windows 2000
systems I know of no way to install CM 1.3 automatically
*without* user intervention.

Thats what I'm looking for.

I just realized I posted the last one as anonymous. Just
bumping it back in the queue.

Andrew,

Can you please tell me what error you are getting? Just try installing the
connection on one of your machines in non-silent mode and let me know what
error you are getting.

CM1.3 profile does not prompt the user to upgrade the CM software on Win2K.
I think your profile does not contain the CM 1.3 bits because of which the
installation is failing. Have you selected the check-box "Install Connection
Manager 1.3 with this profile" on the "Connection Manager Software" page of
the CMAK wizard?? Does your profile install on WinXP?

Please read the following link:
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/.../2003/standard/proddocs/en-us/cmak_ops_61.asp.
This contains information on deloying CM profiles for machines running Win9X
and Win2K.
