Hi, I have managed to get Norton Antivirus 2003 to install Silently but once windows is finished installing I have to go through the Configuration Wizard (Registraton, Schedule weekly scans, run live update etc etc) is there any way to either stop this or pre configure it

You can replace CfgWiz.exe with a subtle one. I applied this idea with v2004 Pro.

Please detail what you do - I would like to know how you do it.

@Bodman-
The most fail-proof method is to have these commands in your .cmd:This is what I do.

I don't want to duplicate that post. So, you can read it here:

I looked for the file cfgwiz.exe on the machine but couldnt find it I thought it would be in the same place as in NAV2004 but its not. I also ran a search of the C drive but still no good

any ideas?

HUH!

Isn't CfgWiz.exe existing individually like in v2004 Pro?

If not so, I'm so sorry.

I didn't find it either - its not a separate file in NAV2k3. But WTF I can always move up to NAV2k4 (and enjoy your method). Do see that you have an original un-modified source install of your NAV though, before using it.

@mazin-
All I can say now is, HUHHHHHH !!!!!!
HURRAY !!!!!!!!!
That thread existed and I didn't see it? Something's growing old in me
I shall try your method, should work I suppose.
Thanx a lot.

A bit more info, I am looking to create a fully unattended install of windows (like the rest of us) So with NAV2004 I followed Mazins guide (the final battle) and got it to work but when I try this on another machine I stilll need to go through the activation process, so I thought I would drop back to NAV2003, which works fine but it still runs the config wizard at the end of the install. I have looked on the CD and also the installed machine for the cfgwiz.exe file but cant find one.


Thanks in advance

I hope it helps a bit, prathapml.

DOH, I found it, Please accept my apologies

Yes, the activated DLL is a machine specific. We said it on that thread.

Yeah I read that, shame really

I have found that once installed if I delete the following reg keys



this stops the Config Wizard from running. the only problem i have now is how can I do this from a .cmd file so I can automate it ( I tried -HKEY........ but this deletes the whole tree and not just the entry)



//Bodman

From a batch:

Once Norton installs and you run Live update, it installs several updates, is there a way to slipstream that, or does anyone know where these files install to.


Cheers

Hi.. ..Bodman
Please can you tell me what you did to stop that config wizard in Nav2003....did you just use that pach to delet the reg keys or what you do else????????

I am also having problems with norton 2003 it runs the first setup program silently but still comes up wit the .msi installer. can any one help.



here is a picture of my norton install foder is it possible just to install it with the .msi file i havent had any luck with that either.

Can you install NAV using setup.exe and NAV.msi, together?

@mazin........you must to change your name to Dr. Norton....

Hope you fine...my dear help us and find a solution for this Nav2003...I know we still old pepole but the way to active the Nav2004 wont work with me & I need this Cd for many PC in my lap so I still needing Nav2003..........so.........SOS.......
--And I want to ask you can your method for Nav2004 work for many PC or just for the PC wich we get the files from.........?? & if you have a way to make it for many PC help me please.....Go...Go...Dr. Norton...........

You're flattering so much today!

One reason I'm keeping guessing on NAV 2003 is that I don't have it on my PC.

But, if you have 0x0409.ini in your original folder of NAV, you should find a line like this:



/S /v/qn is the proper switch you use with setup.exe!

So, I imagine you need it to be:


OR


Other than that, you can check if those reg keys above are helpful, too.

For NAV 2004 Pro, I might think in a solution for the problem you mentioned. THERE'S A WAY! But, time is limit!! I'll try, though.

Thanks Mazin
But I still call you Dr. Norton if you don't mind becouse every thing about Norton I've found you solve the problems.....So you must be Dr. Norton........
about that Reg key i'v trayed them & they was perfect but when you click on the Norton Shortcut the Config Wizard starts ..........so..........I'll tray your way and I hope....... ........
Thanks for all...........

Cheers Mazin, will give that a try

We still waiting the solution......................SOS........................Help...Please.........
