Has anyone had success distributing Lenovo's "Hotkey Features Integration" in a task sequence?  The issue is that their "unattended" install isn't really silent.  When you install it using their unattended mode, it still pops up a window, installs three features and then closes the window.  I have a feeling that during the TS deployment of the laptop, it has an issue with the window that appears during installation.  Because no matter what I do during the TS deployment, it will not succeed.  If I run the unattended install after I get into the OS, it completes just fine. 

This is the software I'm attempting to install.

Thanks in advance!

Have you tried installing it with "Run command line" task? First I made a simple batch file in package directory containing this line:

START "hotkey" /WAIT "%~dp0setup.exe" /S -sms

In "Run command line" task properites check the "Package" option and select the software package. Then type the name of the batch file to "command line" textbox.

It will still show how it installs these three features but at least it does it unattended and successfully.
