You must put quotes:
"%systemdrive%\install\Applications\sav\Symantec AntiVirus.msi"
"%systemdrive%\install\Applications\sav\Symantec AntiVirus.msi"
I newer put quotes for my other apps and all works fine.
I did try with quotes and nothing happens, no error no nothing
Last time it (same error)was a wrong name for the *.msi, but this time it isnt a modified *.msi - if you remember.
I could send you the *.msi if you will its 4mb or so.

There's a trick you can try to see what causes this problem.
When importing to WinINSTALL, if you named "ACDSee 6.0 PowerPack.msi" "ACDSee6.msi" for example, then try changing the string to:
Start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\Applications\acdsee\ACDSee6.msi
Before you execute the batch, rename "ACDSee 6.0 PowerPack.msi" to "ACDSee6".

Execuse me, Djus.
I thought it happened because there's space in the file name.
If I had this version, I could help you. Sorry!

That error is definately caused by the space in the name as you can see in the screenshot. "sav\Symantec"
Rename the MSI file to SAV.msi or something and try again.

OK I did that, and now it starts I put switch qb to see what happens.

thx
Djus
Ok forget the renaming and use quotes like mazin already mentioned. The setup expects the exact name of the msi file.
Sorry for the confusion.

sav.msi /qb LIVEUPDATE=0 REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESS

I'm working with the Antivirus which came in the Symantec Client Security Corporate Edition (32 bit version, 9.0.0.338), and everything worked fine, but upon booting instead of loading the tray icon I found a %programfiles%\Symantec window open. This happens because the key in HKLM/Run called to (...)\Symantec Antivirus\VPTray.exe without any quote, so it never reached the correct folder.
To solve this, one should add a destination folder without spaces in the command line, like:

I have installed SP2 for XP, and I cannot enable file auto-protect.... on the VMware pc, I don't have the problem.
If anybody finds the solutions to this, thanks a lot

Get the correct Q811493 hotfix from Microsoft site. Install it, then reboot your PC.
weird, I was getting that same error message with some beta builds of SP2. I don't know, a clean format/install has made it go away (build 2120's working fine with it)

EDIT: SP2 build 2096
Me too, went back to 8.1.1.323, does that Q811493 fix it? Seems kind of odd since it was released over a year ago that it would fix something that's broken with SP2 and SAV.
The first entry on page 2 of this post shows a network error. I am also getting this error. I assume it is caused by the fact that the installer can't fins the server I am setting as the parent. I am launching this installation during an unattended installation of Windows XP. Should there be network connectivity at the time that [GUIRunOnce] section of the winnt.sif file is executed? Is there a switch that will prevent the installer from trying to verify the existence of the parent server?
This is my command line:
start /wait msiexec.exe /i "c:\applications\sav9\Symantec AntiVirus.msi" ADDLOCAL=SAVMain,SAVUI,SAVHelp,Pop3Smtp,QClient NETWORKTYPE=1 SERVERNAME=MEDNAV3 ENABLEAUTOPROTECT=1 RUNLIVEUPDATE=0 REBOOT=ReallySuppress /qb'
