Does anybody know where I can find a Seti Service install that is one exe file?

I am looking for an exe file or even better an msi file that can install Seti as a service. I have the opportunity to deploy it to some additional machines for a short burst and I have the ability to deploy it if I can find an executable or msi file that can do it.
 
Not really what I need. I need something where if I put the userinfo.sah file with it it will install without requiring interaction from me on each PC. If I am to remote deploy, I need to be able to this unattended. I can use a snaphot packager to try to make my own package, but that will require time and I want to try to deploy as soon as possible.
 
Actually I think I can use the Flexinstaller and just use Hyena to stop and disable the service when I need them to stop 🙂 I will try that tomorrow.

xnet stop \\remotecomputername\servicename
reg delete \\remotecomputername\HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\servicename /va
del \\remotecomputername\c$\installpath\*.* /q

xnet.exe and reg.exe can be found in the Resource Kit

Crazee or anyone else, if you can get me a text file with a list of machinenames I can put together a quick script that will either stop/start the services or remove completely.
 
Actually once they are installed, I can use Hyena to control starting, stopping and whether or not they start automatic, manual or disable. Hyena is a tool that no Sysadmin should be without 🙂
 
We had problems with the flexinstaller not installing correctly and giving error messages a large part of the time. In one case on 10 POS machines running the same software Windows XP and V1 {our POS software ) it failed to install on all ten machines.
 
Hey, wait a minute.. you're "Elite" now.. I thought you guys were supposed to be able to write your own programs and walk on water and such? 😛
 
Unfortunately the flexinstaller didn't work with XP SP1A so that is out 🙁

I am going to try a few other methods.

Crosses fingers! 😉

Dasm, forgot I was trying to hold on to the 10,000 post count and accidentially posted here! 😛

Now I'm an Elite Lifer....oh the agony! 😛


 
shux (or anyone who knows this), how does the seti service install work? I installed it on my parents machine(since they often leave it on but logged off of thier accounts), but don't know if it is using the cache files from setidriver or how many wu's it downloads, or how to make sure it's crunching under my name.
 
I think Shux's Service Install uses only the CLI CLIENT and not SetiDriver. So the machine(s) will have to have internet access 24/7 and will run out of work when the S@H servers go down. If someone knows differently, please speak up.

This was/is also a problem for Crazee, who is working on a fix. If he works out the details (and I'm betting he will) he may be able to provide you with instructions . 😉 🙂

edit: I just remembered that Is0s may have already worked out a solution for using SetiDriver. Drop him a PM and ask him about it. 😉
 
The flex installer doesn't work well with Windows XP and the Seti Driver option doesn't work. I know Bot was working on a version that would do all of it, but I don't know whether he finished or not.
 
I noticed one thing I did wrong, I forgot to change the settings to point it to smoke's proxy server, I e-mailed shux to get him to add me to his since I won't have access to my parents machine again until easter.my parents are on dial-up, but my mom is connected every morning for a few hours, after lunch for an hour or 2 and in the evenings for couple of hours (and she often forgets to disconnect the dialup before going to bed) at least it should get a few WU's going until I can get ahold of a better method for caching wu's for it to crunch.

edit: typo

If you still need a packaged install file, let me know. If an interactive installer is usable, I can probably cough one up pretty quick. If you need an unattended/msi installer it might take me a little longer (need to find a good freeware msi installer, have one at work but don't want to play that game). I don't know why I never thought of doing one before, guess the service install scripts pretty much did everything I needed in the past. Someone remind me to do one when BOINC comes out. 🙂

I am glad this thread was revisited becuase I need to do just this very thing. I will install the resouce kit Monday and make a little script the batch delete the ones I need to dump. Thanks SoulAssassin!

I assume I can make a batch file that says

xnet stop \\pcname1\stcli
xnet stop \\pcname2\stcli
xnet stop \\pcname3\stcli
xnet stop \\pcname4\stcli
reg delete \\pcname1\HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\STCLI /va
reg delete \\pcname2\HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\STCLI /va
reg delete \\pcname3\HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\STCLI /va
reg delete \\pcname4\HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\STCLI /va
del \\pcname1\c$\stcli\*.* /q
del \\pcname2\c$\stcli\*.* /q
del \\pcname3\c$\stcli\*.* /q
del \\pcname4\c$\stcli\*.* /q

Run it from my PC and I wont have to run around then eh?

Yup, if the # of pc's that you have to deal w is more than you care to manage in a script like that, let me know and I can work it so all I need are the machinenames in a comma delimited text file. Also, in retrospect it's probably cleaner to do a "rd \\pcname1\c$\stcli\ /s /q" than just a delete at the end.

Generally speaking to everyone, remember seti is still running and we need the w/u's more now than ever so let's not jump the gun on switching these machines. More in '04!!! 😀
