Intel Corporation Intel(R) PROSet-Wireless WiFi Software

Using ORCA, I created a transform to permit the

installation via Windows Installer

(required for GPO deployment).


The default action when running the MSI is to alert that

your not using setup.exe. I get around this by changing

the conditions required for Stand Alone actions in the

Execute and UI Sequence tables.


Also; if using the Dell provided Intel Wireless

software for v13.0; the default language is Arabic;

your GPO needs to be set to ignore language settings

for this MSI.


The MSI contains the following:



Property Table:


ADDLOCAL=WIFI_Driver,WIFI_Software,WIFI_UI,WIFI_WMI,

WIFI_SSO,WIFI_PLC,WIFI_Simple_Config,WIFI_Troubleshooter,

WIFI_Help,WIFI_Custom_Help


ProductLanguage=1033

SHOW_INTEL_STANDALONE_ERROR=FALSE



InstallExecuteSequence Table:


CA_DisplayStandAloneError= SHOW_INTEL_STANDALONE_ERROR="TRUE"



InstallUISequence Table:

SetupStandaloneError= SHOW_INTEL_STANDALONE_ERROR="TRUE"

CA_DisplayStandAloneError= SHOW_INTEL_STANDALONE_ERROR="TRUE"

We were able to just use standard switches on the "Intel PROSet Wireless.msi" During our automation for this deployment we used the following: /qb! REBOOT=ReallySupress  and then had a later reboot


Update: 08/27/2010


While this does install the software and it works it did not do the integration we needed for ThinkVantage Access connect.  We were forced to use the Autorun.exe /QN method.

You can use /QN on the Autorun.exe to make this package install silently


Example: [Path where the files were extracted]\Autorun /QN



Using this method was the only way we were able to get the seemless integration with ThinkVantage Access Connect to work.  But the problem with this method is the Atorun.exe calls a Setup.exe and releases so we needed to build wait times in our script
