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 users 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 below
echo 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
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
Found script on: visit website to read comments http://adrianpopagh.blogspot.com/2010/04/starting-logmein-in-safe-mode-with.html

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

Building the exe Package
