It's a shame, as the product itself, while overpriced for me, works fine. Consumers shouldn't have to worry about things like this, but I fully expect a charge next year from this unethical outfit. Even now, I have no confirmation email, but I made sure to save the chat record.
EFAX MESSENGER LOGIN TRIAL
Over the last 3 years, the account that I signed up for a free trial (at the time $15/year) has cost me $115 and I have sent two faxes of a couple pages each, last in 2020. I mentioned I would put dispute on CC charge on my account, and post unfavorable reviews online and with Consumer Agencies - it didn't matter. No cancel notice form last year, no billing notices in any of recent years.
I searched my email, nothing form eFax in over a year. Without this, they would not credit the $50 or even $48 for remaining 50 weeks. After back and forth on what I wanted (cancel and refund of recent charge), the agent asked me to provide proof that I had cancelled last year. I went to efax site, logged in, saw it was active, hit "cancel" button and the web response was "this account may not be cancelled online, you must either call or start live chat." I was looking at my CC account online yesterday, I saw that another $50 charge came through for 12/10/21-12/9/22. Last December the renewal increased to $50/year minimum, so in January when I got credit card bill I cancelled online. Service works ok when needed I haven't used in almost 2 years. Hope this helps someone else in the future.Reviews: Rip-off - no cancel allowed online without going through an agent, no billing notice, no cancel processing, and no refunds for future periods.
EFAX MESSENGER LOGIN INSTALL
So the new sequence ended up being -Ĭompiled EXE uses psexec to run a second batch file as local admin -> second batch file kills explorer, restarts it as local admin, kills it again -> calls install routine -> calls system restart. By having the script being run as local admin end the explorer process then restart it as itself, the profile is in essence created and the install can go through without issue. I guess it helps to just empty everything out sometimes to get a fresh look at the problem. I'm at my wits end, hoping someone has seen/dealt with this before. A registry error comes up referencing "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\CTF\KnownClasses" with the result "NAME NOT FOUND"Īnybody have any idea what may be causing the application to throw this error or what it might be looking for that's only created once the local admin has logged into the computer once? The application is built on top of "Advanced Installer" if that's at all helpful or anyone has experience with it. Compose a new email message and in the 'To' box, type the recipient’s fax number (with country and area code) followed by (e.g.). Watching the install with Procmon, trying to catch what it's failing with. Its easy to send a fax via email Your fax is delivered to the recipient’s fax number. Manually creating and importing the HKCU\Volatile Environment key with the entries created when a valid logon by admin is done (Same error) This works absolutely fine if the administrator user has logged into the computer at least once.Įditing the MSI with Orca to remove/change the %USERPROFILE variable to a static location (MSI completely fails) I'm assuming as the local admin hasn't logged in, there's a registry entry or folder path that's not being created and thus the failure. This whole kludgey process works with one caveat - if the local admin has never logged into the computer before the process fails - the MSI throwing an error "Could not access network location \My Documents\eFax Messenger 4.4" Start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\eFax Messenger 4.4\J2GTray.exe" Reg import c:\users\%1\AppData\Local\Temp\圆4.reg Start "" "C:\Program Files\eFax Messenger 4.4\J2GTray.exe" Reg import c:\users\%1\AppData\Local\Temp\x32.reg Reg Query "HKLM\Hardware\Description\System\CentralProcessor\0" | find /i "x86" > NUL & set OSver=32BIT || set OSver=64BITĬ:\users\%1\AppData\Local\Temp\msgrplus.exe /exelang 1033 /qn Logon Script EXE calls efax_installer.bat as local computer admin offĮcho Installing eFax Messenger - Please wait. %temp%\psexec.exe -accepteula -u administrator -p PasswordHere "%temp%\efax_installer.bat" %username%

I've been banging my head against this for a few weeks and at wits end. I have an app ( eFax Messenger) that I'm trying to work out a method to deploy via group policy.
