Custom POACFG File doesnt apply during installation

dooty22

i have an issue with a lenovo laptop which requires a hotkey F6 before its operable. This needs to be automated as I cant have someone doing this hotkey routine everytime a laptop gets imaged.

I got one laptop working using the hotkey "shift-F6", run the sgnhwinfo tool to gather the xml config, copied the config into the standard poacfg.xml file (using an xml editor yes) , copied this into my package (same directory as the msi) and then run the following to install

msiexec /i SGNClient.msi /qn ADDLOCAL=Client,Authentication,CredentialProvider,BaseEncryption,SectorBasedEncryption POACFG=POACFG.xml REBOOT=ReallySuppress

The install completes with no errors, but the POACFG file seems to be ignored, the laptop is unbootable without the hotkey operation again, and the poacfg placed into c:\program files does not include my changes.

Am i missing something ??

thanks

    In my experience you will not get an error running this command even if something goes wrong.

    You can produce a verbose log file which will tell you whether each step was successful.

    You need to use the /l*v switch followed by a file path.

    So in your example it could be msiexec /i SGNClient.msi /qn ADDLOCAL=Client,Authentication,CredentialProvider,BaseEncryption,SectorBasedEncryption POACFG=c:\POACFG.xml REBOOT=ReallySuppress c:\Sophos-Install.log
