I saw that you are the only one that solved the IntelliMouse driver problem for Windows Server 2003

Can you please assist the others?

Thanks!!

RD

okill try! Download the modified .msi file here

IP4_1.msi file

You will also see a file called mouse.gif this is the screenshot

Intellipoint Software

Windows Server 2003: just a workaround. Microsoft is aware of the problem. And an update to the software is due.



Instructions:


1. Extract the contents of the Intellipoint software to the desktop
2. locate the IP4_1.msi file in the extracted directory Ex. (Microsoft IntelliPoint 4.12\Mouse\SETUP) replace it with the one downloaded.
3. Follow Setup instructions.
4. After install don’t reboot.
5. Go to control panel and click on mouse. Select the hardware tab and update the drivers for the mouse. Make sure to browse to the location of the Intellipoint software. (Desktop). And select the file that specifies it as Intellipoint.
6. if all goes well some of the intellipoint control panel and buttons should work.
7. This doesn’t work for Bluetooth.


Sorry for the crudness of this. It works for me but not like xp but this is win2k3 !

Would you be able to do it for intellitype as well?

Thanks for the help!!
after replacing the updated IP4_1.msi file in the installation dir
I used:
msiexec /i IP4_1.msi
and the installation was completed
however it didn't work for my Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical.

this specific driver is not supported by Windows server 2003.
(after the installation was finished I also updated the driver in the hardware tab)
after this hard work I was a little disappointed...
but I am sure other Microsoft Mouse drivers will be compatble.
and that you helped other people

Cheers

PS
I was able also to patch the MSI and to bypass and install the driver on my Win2k3
I used msi2xml.exe to change IP4_1.msi to xml file, I removed the OS check form the LaunchCondition table and used xml2msi.exe to convert the xml file back to msi file (IP4_1.msi)

I will wait for the next driver release of Microsoft.
even if the new driver will not install on Win2k3
I will patch the new MSI installer.
hope the new release driver for Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical will work

Could you tell us how you patched it so that I can try and patch the IntelliType software, or even better, patch it, and post a link ??? (please...)

Thanks so much betap4, it works now

ITs a first attempt to get this software to work but im sure microsoft is working on a version of windows server 2003. I uploaded the intellitype installer. once again replace it with the one downloaded. I hope this is considerded warez because my only intetions for this was testing. For some it may work and others it may not.

just extract orginal Intellitype software to the desktop & replace the *.msi* file in the setup folder with the one downloaded. Start install using the *.msi* file and follow setup instructions. When done dont not reboot. Go to control panel select keyboard and update drivers. Select the intellitype directory as the location of the keyboard driver. Make sure the drive says intellitype and the restart.

i know a sorry attempt but it works

Thank You!!!

I have just installed it (was using xp at the time) and whilst the software installs properly, it doesn't change the function of the button on the keyboard. (I do get the control panel etc though)

all of my buttons on my keyboard work except the play/pause, stop, next track, and prev track buttons.........but those work in media player, just not winamp. i tried installing the winamp 3 plugin for winamp 2 but its not working. help!

The buttons work like that regardless of whether or not you have IntelliType installed - its just that you need the software to remap them - which isn't working.

You just really wanna break the rules soooo bad don't you

oh, well if you figure it out let me know through here or a PM

Sorry i meant to say i hope this isnt considered warez

Im trying to get the installer to Acknowledge NT5.02 as NT5.01 so it uses the routine to install it like windows xp but im not to good at this as it seems So if some one could help me out ? Im using Install Sheild Developer 8.02!

I fixed the Problem of the installer
now it check for compatibility with Windows 2003
after you finish install just restart your computer (don't need to go to the hardware tab)

for the file click on this link: IP4_1.zip

Hope I helped some people

PS

this is a modified MSI, install it only on Windows 2003 Server) (and not on other OS)[/B]

PS
I will keep the IP4_1.zip on the server for couple of days (its not my server)
can someone load this file and place a link in order to help other users?

if you have large ftp server I can put a full installer that extract the files and install the IntelliPoint drivers (For Windows server 2003)

RD

If you can do the same for intellitype, maybe that will get it to work properly ?

I don't have the hardware, it will be hard for me to test it....

OK did the changes to the IntelliType too
(I can't test it, so please report if its ok)

Download Intellitype Driver from Microsoft: ITP2_22EngALLMsi.exe

Unzip the file (Using PowerArchiver Winrar etc.)

download the file ITPro2_2.zip from --Here--
unzip the ITPro2_2.zip and take the file ITPro2_2a.msi from the zipped file and put it instead of the original that you extracted from microsoft.
and double click on the new ITPro2_2a.msi to install the driver
(the path can look like \ITP2_22EngALLMsi\Keyboard\Setup\ITPro2_2a.msi)

it is very important to replace only this file, all the other files should stay in the extracted folders.

** This msi file is modified, Use it ONLY for Windows Server 2003
hope I helped...

Installs ok, but the software still doesn't work
Guess I'll have to wait until microsoft updates intellitype for 2k3 (if they do)

tried my best without the hardware..

RD

Yeah, thanks for trying

Too bad MS haven't made a version for 2k3 (if they ever plan to...)

I did a change in the file
download the new file (from the above link)
and follow the same steps

(I will be happy to hear if it worked)

Rain Drop

Installs ok, just like that last one, but unfortunately, like the last one, it still doesn't work.

Thank you for trying again though.

You welcome
