Task Sequence Install Lenovo Hotkey Utility

This is a frustrating thing I've been dealing with for a while.  After some keen googling, I found that Project84 came up with a solution on how to install the Lenovo Hotkey Utility via Task Sequence.  The issue at hand is that the "silent" or "unattended" install of Lenovo's Hotkey Utility, isn't truly silent.  


This fix resolves it in a jiffy!

Snip from Project84:
  1. Extract the Hotkey utility.
  2. Create a batch file InstallHotkey.cmd with a single line: %~dp0SETUP.EXE /S
  3. Create a standard SCCM package with the source pointing to your extracted hotkey files.
  4. Make sure that InstallHotkey.cmd is in the same dir as Setup.exe
  5. In you Task Sequence add a new "Run Command Line" task.
  6. Set the Package to the Hotkey Package you created in step 4.
  7. In the command line put InstallHotkey.cmd
