Paxton Net2 Silent Install?

[snagrat]

I can silent install the full Pro package, but I only want the client.

 

Does anyone know a silent switch to only install the client?

I think you need to install the lite version.

From what I remember all versions need to be the same, there was a new version for windows 10 which forced you to have the latest version.

I use a lAutoIt script, not perfect but works.

 

#Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Icon=Net2_AAAAA.ico

#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=y

#EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****

 

;install Paxton Net2 Client from current directory

 

$title = "Net2 Access Control Setup"

 

ShellExecute(@ScriptDir & "\Setup.exe", "", @ScriptDir, "open", @SW_HIDE)

 

If WinWaitActive($title, "Welcome", 60) = 0 Then Exit 1

Send("{TAB}{UP}{UP}{UP}{DOWN}{DOWN}{ALTDOWN}AI{ALTUP}")

Send("{ENTER}")

 

WinWaitActive($title, "Setup Successful")

Send("{ALTDOWN}C{ALTUP}")

Do I just need to save this as a .vbs or do I need some client side IAutoIt installed first?

Save it as an .au3. This file can then be compiled to an .exe using AutoIt.

As above!

In case anyone else is looking for this like I was:

 

First, if necessary, extract the installers and prerequisites needed to a path of your choice:

 

Setup.exe /layout

 

You'll notice there's a .\Redist subfolder created as well as the usual installer, which contains the prerequisites. You need these to "travel with" the setup.exe when deploying...

 

Once you have your files in order, to silently install just the client:

 

\Setup.exe /install ALLUSERS=1 InstallType=3 /quiet norestart

 

Hope this helps!

It certainly does and I didn't even realise I needed or wanted a silent install for Net2.

 

Cheers.

@jmc160 still working in 2026 thanks, I've just packaged it up for Intune. For removal just change the switch from /install to /uninstall
