I'm now prompted for the Account Type and can select Contract at this point and complete the install.ĭespite this though, I'm still prompted to select how I pay for my service when I start Vodafone Mobile Broadband (I'm still logged on as the same user I installed the application with).ĭoesn't make much sense to me - wondering if something I'm setting in the transform is overriding what I'm selecting at point of install.5G home broadband is the latest of many new ways the internet in the UK is speeding up to levels never before seen in this country.
#Vodafone mobile broadband quick start install
So.in the admin install I've been using, I modified the Opco-23415.xml file so that AskAccountType is true, and also changed the property OPCOCONFIG_ASKACCOUNTTYPE from false to true. The documentation seems to indicate that this should be the case, "depending on the selected operator, not all screens may be shown", and that "hiding this window means that the Account Type can also be selected later during first-run". This looks like it's down to the false setting in Opco-23415.xml. Has anyone else managed to get this to work?Īs a test, I tried running the install using the setup_vmb.exe and selecting Vodafone UK (23415) as the OPCO, I'm not prompted for Contract or Prepaid while going through the install. Sorry for rambling on, but it's driving me mad. This is proving a lot harder than configuring and deploying Vodafone Mobile Connect 9 and there's still no sign of the Admin Install guide for this version of the software.Įverything in the documentation seems to point towards the values I've already set being the key, but it's not helping. I thought I'd solved it by poking a value into the "SetupTime" string in Current_User but it must be something else as well causing the MobileConnect.exe to prompt for the contract type.ĭeleting the Vodafone folder in the user's Application Data folder doesn't cause the prompt to reoccur so in my mind, what's causing it to prompt isn't held in any of the. I've tried setting VMCSTARTMODE to 1, tried setting it to 3. It worked (the reg string is populated in HKLM now) but of course didn't help prevent the prompt for Contract/Prepaid.Įntering a value for the UserAccount string in HKCU doesn't help either. Using a transform, I altered the CustomerAccount reg string so that its data is coming from rather than as this didn't seem right (there is no property called ACCOUNT_PROP_REG) and might explain the empty value. I've specified "Contract" in the ACCOUNT_PROP property, but this wasn't getting fed through to the CustomerAccount reg key in HKLM which I thought might be the problem, but manually entering a value in this key didn't seem to help. Selecting either of the options stops the prompt coming up next time the user starts the app, but I don't want it coming up on the first run for any of our users. Even though these are present and being used (as far as I can see), I'm still getting prompted.
I've gone through a first install scenario and copied the mobilebroadbandprofile.xml file containing the settings to use as a template. Unfortunately, I still cannot seem to prevent it prompting me on first time use for whether I want to use "Contract" or "Prepaid".
PJ thanks for your initial findings, it did help when I started trying to deploy VMB 10.
