SSL VPN installer - run silently

Scott_Klassen
Has anyone here managed to come up with a silent install method for the SSL VPN package, setup.exe? 
 
I tried running it using the /S switch, which I've seen mentioned in various posts about the OpenVPN client, but it looks like it hangs for the TAP install portion.
 
My users are standard users (been considered best practice for over a decade now) with no permissions or ability to install anything. I'd like to be able to remote deploy to my users, then all I would have to do is add the appropriate config files for each user.  SneakerNet is so dead by now.

    Hello,

    Our users do not have administrative ones right at their notebooks.
    I install the Astaro SSL Client by the following way.
    Installation works with XP and Win 7.

    [Install the Certificate for the Astaro SSL Adapter (No Warning Messages)]
    certutil.exe -f -addstore "TrustedPublisher" %scriptpath%\files\AstaroSSLClient.p7b >> C:\tmp\AstaroSSLVPN.log

    [Install the Client]
    %scriptpath%\files\setup.exe /S

    [Add write permissions for Users (to install the Config)]
    cacls "%ProgramFiles%\Astaro\Astaro SSL VPN Client\config" /E /T /C /P "Benutzer":C >> C:\tmp\AstaroSSLVPN.log

    [Add write permissions for Users (to install the Config)]
    cacls "%ProgramFiles%\Astaro\Astaro SSL VPN Client\log" /E /T /C /P "Benutzer":C >> C:\tmp\AstaroSSLVPN.log

    That´s it.

    I'm pretty sure those users must be local admins or network operators on their laptops; I don't see any entries here that elevate priveleges needed to add routes on Windows 7.  Are you sure that's all there is to this?

    That's what I thought (they had to have some sort of elevated priveleges)... thanks for the info.
