I am in need of coming up with an automated / hands free way of getting the Parallels Tools installed for at least Windows 2000 and XP Pro. Scripted install would be acceptable. I have the Parallels Video driver already correctly installing in our environment, from the files that were in the vmtools.iso file. PrlMouse however did not win the driver election process, but I have not tried push installing that driver INF file yet. Pushing that driver might fix that one. How many other drivers are needed / anyone have a list of exactly what the setup program of Parallels Tools actually does? Thanks! Michael
Close / Not Success Still The Parallels Tools installer is built with InstallShield, which this page explains well how to automate such installers: http://unattended.sourceforge.net/installers.php However, something goes wrong when I tried doing a scripted install. The PrlTools.exe seems to give a bad return code, and no files have been installed, but the install directory is at least there. Log follows: [InstallShield Silent] Version=v7.00 File=Log File [ResponseResult] ResultCode=-3 [Application] Name=Parallels Tools Version=2.2 Company=Parallels Lang=0009 So, are instructions available about how to do a successful silent install of Parallels Tools?
