: Save the new MST file with a name you want in the same folder where you have the HP Connection Manager.msi : Click Transform from the ORCA menu and select Generate Transform : Click Transform from the ORCA menu and select New Transform : Now you’ll have the necessary MSI files to create the MST file : Copy the files inside the directory to another place and after that, cancel the installation : Here you’ll get the extracted MSI for installation. : When you start to get a message to click Next, go to Start –> Run and type %temp%and click OK Now…after installing ORCA you need to follow this steps: You can get more information about this tool here: To be able to install this software silently, first you’ll need to install a software to create the transforms (MST) file.įor this one I normally use Microsoft ORCA software that’s available through Windows SDK Components for Windows Installer Developers, but just google it to find the direct download. If using the setup.exe you get all the popups, if you extract the msi file you get the message: “Please install HP Connection Manager by launching from Setup.exe” There’s just no way to do this without messing around with the MSI file or like this tip, by creating a transforms file (MST). No way to install this software silently. This happened to me this week with an HP EliteBook 2540p.

This happens for example (not with a specific corporation) when you need to to create a new base image for a laptop and there’s always a software that simply cannot install silent, at least in a straight-forward way… Sometimes, IT people just seems to need to call some bad names to our colleagues.
