I dit this with NAV2005 french version
If the files and dirs are the same, it shoud work

in english : \Program Files\Common Files\
in french : \Program Files\Fichiers communs\
in other languages i don't know


First install NAV 2005 on your system and activate it

Create those directories in your install cd

$OEM$\$1\install\NAV2005\
copy your original cd inside it
$OEM$\$$\system32\
to place a file that will automaticaly copy inside \windows\system32 during the windows installation



1. cd key file

create a file called "navreg.reg" inside the folder NAV2005
edit it and paste this

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\CCPD-LC\KStore\00000082\0000000f\0000001b]
"Key"="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"

replace Xs with your cd key and don't type dashes (-)
save and exit


2. creation of a self extract archive with activation files

Activation files are here
\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\CCPD-LC

You MUST boot in FAIL SAFE MODE to copy the files ! F8 at boot

Open winrar
Go to that directory

select:

symlcnet.dll
symlcrst.dll
symlctnk.dll

(I'm not sure the 3 files are absolutely needed, but at least it works, maybe symlcrst.dll is enough)

Click on "commands" ==> "add files to archive"

click the button "profiles" "defauld profile"
in "archive name" type CCPD-LC.exe
archive format: RAR
compression method: best
archiving options: create SFX archive

go to "advanced" tab and click on "SFX options"

in "path to extract" type
%systemdrive%\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\CCPD-LC\

and choose: "create in the current folder"

now go to "modes" tab and click on "hide all" and "overwrite all files"

click "OK" on all dialog boxes and close winrar

Make a CUT/PASTE of CCPD-LC.exe inside the folder "$OEM$\$$\system32\"

reboot windows in normal mode


3. integrate the last virus definitions files

you can download the last version

english: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcen...ges/US-N95.html
french : http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcen...ges/FR-N95.html
others : http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcen...s.download.html

extract all the files with winrar in the NAV install folder
$OEM$\$1\install\NAV2005\VirusDef\
replace all existing files


4. batch file

here is the batch for the silent install


CLS
@echo off
ECHO.
REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\Install\NAV2005\navreg.reg
ECHO.
start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\NAV2005\NAVSetup.exe /O REBOOT=ReallySuppress /qb
ECHO.
taskkill.exe /F /IM symlcsvc.exe
CCPD-LC.exe
del "%systemdrive%\WINDOWS\system32\CCPD-LC.exe"
EXIT



I know we can replace "%systemdrive%\WINDOWS" with something else but i don't remember. It works this way

did you try this method with the same pre-activated files on different
machines?????

%systemdrive%\WINDOWS === %windir%

You can save time if you do :

CLS
@echo off
ECHO.
REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\Install\NAV2005\navreg.reg
ECHO.
REM taskkill.exe /F /IM symlcsvc.exe
CCPD-LC.exe
del "%systemdrive%\WINDOWS\system32\CCPD-LC.exe"
ECHO.
start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\NAV2005\NAVSetup.exe /O REBOOT=ReallySuppress /qb
EXIT


=> No need to taskkill !!!

GoodBye.

Of course the pre activated files are only valid for your machine !

it doesn't work here if i don't kill this task

That's correct, but its a continuation from the win9x days.
The recommended variable to be used for "%systemdrive%\WINDOWS" is

Does anybody have the Navreg.reg code? whoops I didn't see it the first time.

Disregard I Goofed

maybe this is a solution...


*link to image removed (no discussion of warez or circumventing activation non-legally is allowed)


dont pee your pants man.... its just an image....

however, i made it!!! works fine, NAV2005 fully unattended.
no userpromts to made, automatic activation and this
config-screens when nav is started the first time.
its an autoit-script. should be no problem to made it working for
other languages than german.

it doesn't work here if i don't kill this task !!!

NAV NOT YET INSTALLED !!! WHAT TASK TO KILL => NOTHING.

100% TESTED AND VERIFIED WORKING

I'm trying to integrate this into RunOnceEx.cmd:



Are lines 3 and 4 for running and deleting the file CCPD-LC.exe in RunOnceEx.cmd correct?

i didn't see you changed the order of the lines

Thanks alot snakesnake. This worked fine for the English release for me. Your directions were very easy to follow. Thanks again.

so which is the right code to use?

ALiAS_2004's?




Also, if I follow these directions, and install NAV, using this method, onto another computer, will it still work?

yes I wonder that aswell?

BTW what if I create a seperate .cmd file just for installing nav2005 with the above commands, and for the rest of the install use my RunOnceEx.cmd, would it be best to start this .cmd file before RunOnceEx.cmd, so I add it to the cmdlines.txt? Will RunOnceEx.cmd wait, or will both .cmd files be launched together then?

Hey, we have used other switches before, but not the "/O" switch.


In the commandwhich is run to make it install silently, what is the function of the "/O" switch ?

HELLO snakesnake,

YOUR BATCH IS :
*************************************************
4. batch file
here is the batch for the silent install
CLS
@echo off
ECHO.
REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\Install\NAV2005\navreg.reg
ECHO.
start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\NAV2005\NAVSetup.exe /O REBOOT=ReallySuppress /qb
ECHO.
taskkill.exe /F /IM symlcsvc.exe
CCPD-LC.exe
del "%systemdrive%\WINDOWS\system32\CCPD-LC.exe"
EXIT
*************************************************

I MODIFIED TO :

======================================
CLS
@echo off
ECHO.
REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\Install\NAV2005\navreg.reg *** INCHANGED
ECHO.
REM taskkill.exe /F /IM symlcsvc.exe *** NOT USED
CCPD-LC.exe *** SECOND
del "%systemdrive%\WINDOWS\system32\CCPD-LC.exe" *** THIRD
ECHO.
start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\NAV2005\NAVSetup.exe /O REBOOT=ReallySuppress /qb *** BECAME FOURTH
EXIT
======================================

I assume that is very clear !


This Method is machine specific, therefore can not be used for other machine

HAVE A NICE DAY

Is there a method that would work on every machine?

Can you Guys make a final post of what do do?
i am confused

tks in advance

Can someone please confirm, In regards to the Computer name that is automatically generated at install, will it be exactly the same the next time a fresh install is done? I ask this in reference to the files that are copied over for pre activation



So with that in mind will I have to instruct my computer to have a set name or will it automatically generate the same name next time?

i don't think the activation files uses the computer name
i tried my method first in vmware (vmware gives an other name to my computer) with the activation files of my "real" computer, and it worked
anyway, you can set a computer name in your unattend.txt (winnt and winnt32.sif)

i didn't tried ALiAS_2004's method, he says it works
so choose, his methor or mine
both seems to work

do both work for ALL machines?

I need to be able to install this program on ANY computer.

can that work?

of course not !
the activation files you put in the sfx archive are specific to your machine

whats the /O for?

Right.
I would like to know that as well!

i don't know
i found that switch in a nav2004 topic, tried it and it worked

Well then, that being so, I'd make this cautionary note:No offense towards anybody, that's just a friendly cautionary piece.

When I tried to install NIS 2004 silently, it didn't work with just
REBOOT=ReallySuppress /qb, so I looked at the file with a hexeditor and found the /O swith.

That made it silent, but I don't know what else it does....

Lol, it is impossible (for me anyway) to find anything about about the /O switch on symantec's website..

/O = OMG, let it go silent!

i think i gine to change to symantech 9

the activation of 2005 is to much for me

Someone can say me how to install, register and activate it finally please?
I'm french and I've some difficult to understand the method finally
Thx you

Atlas, this thread - NAV 2004 Pro by mazin, has all the info you want.
Its quite comprehensive, and the method is pretty much the same for NAV2k5 as for NAV2k4.
