Hello everybody

First of all excuse my "french-like" english.

I'm new in this forum and i still have found all the answers to my questions.
Today I searched for a new problem and I didn't find any help.

I want to add Kaspersky Personnal Pro to my Windows Xp unattended install.
There is no problem with the silent install and the registration key.

But, I want to add up-to-date virus définitions to my install so I downloaded the last definition file archive and I uncompressed it to the "Kaspersky\CommonAppData\Kaspersky Lab\KAV Personal Pro\5.0\Bases\" folder.

It doesn't work. When Kaspersky starts at the end of my unattended installation, a popup indicates me that my virus definitions are corrupted.

I tried 2 ways:
- First I replaced only the "new" files I found in the up-to-date virus definitions and it didn't work.
- Then I replaced all the folder with the new one containing up-to-date definitions and it didn't work too.

Is there a solution?

Thank you in advance and sorry again for my hard-to-read english...

There were two ways if I remember correctly add the updates to C:\documents and settings\""\bases.
Or to create an "updates" folder along with your installation files, and place your definitions within the updates folder. The program would integrate them upon installation, not sure if this works with 5.X though.

Thank you for your answser batman75.
I'll try this and I'll tell you if it works with Kaspersky Personnal Pro 5.

It doesn't work

I'll try and try again.

If someone has a tip...

Heya...

there are 2 easy ways:


1st: The WGET way:


Make a simple batch or script to grab the patterns from one of the following url's:

I prerfer wget as "leecher"

ftp://downloads-us1.kaspersky-labs.com/updates_x
ftp://downloads1.kaspersky-labs.com/updates_x
ftp://updates3.kaspersky-labs.com/updates_x
ftp://updates1.kaspersky-labs.com/updates_x
http://downloads-us1.kaspersky-labs.com/updates_x
http://downloads1.kaspersky-labs.com/updates_x
http://updates-us1.kaspersky-labs.com/updates_x
http://updates3.kaspersky-labs.com/updates_x
http://updates2.kaspersky-labs.com/updates_x
http://updates1.kaspersky-labs.com/updates_x

*note: dir-browsing is allowed (on the http links) so u can take a look what u need...

example:

wget -r -A *.avc "http://updates1.kaspersky-labs.com/updates_x"

wget -r -A avp* "http://updates1.kaspersky-labs.com/updates_x"

wget -r -A engine* "http://updates1.kaspersky-labs.com/updates_x"

After the 1st run of wget you should check for errors on download
("if not exist", or "if errorlevel") ...
to prevent errors like:

-update server is offline
-no inet-connection (nic, ppp etc)
-other erros

useful:
-make a ping query before trying to download
-config your own wgetrc (cfg-file 4 wget)

If the download was successful, you can copy/move/overwrite the old patterns
in the bases folder...



2nd: the MWAV way:

get the latest "MicroWorld eScan Toolkit Utility" which uses the kaspersky patterns too. and it contains an updater tool for the kavp patterns: "KAVUpd.exe"
negative: u'll need an actual .key file (licence) the start the progg...
Otherwise it terminates unexpectly with an "Initialize() failed" error...

When u "have a licence by hand" u should use MWAV to update and for batch/script
based AV-scannings.

Hope that one of the way's worx for ya...


dracid

or just wget -nd -m -A engine*,avp*,*.avc "http://updates1.kaspersky-labs.com/updates_x"

Thx for your answers but il doesn't help me
Finding and downloading the patterns isn't a problem.

I just want to add up-to-date patterns IN my unattended installation CD... I don't want to download these patterns after installation...

I read a post about the "Updates" folder that permit to install up-to-date definitions automatically but there isn't enough details in this post.

Here is what I did: I tried to uncompress the Kaspersky setup file, to create the "Updates" folder and to add the new patterns in it.



But, when my unattended installation is finished, kaspersky uses "old" definitions.

Can somebody give me some precisions about this method?
Where do i create the "Updates" folder?
Is it "Update", "update", Updates" or "updates"?

Thx in advance.

The solution before with the updates folder was to create a SFX within the folder.
The SFX contains all your updated definition files.
You would install Kaspsersky and then call the SFX (batch file or Runonce).
The path to extract the SFX to was C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal\5.0\Bases.
Dig up some old posts on this, I know it was covered sometime ago.

Thank you, i'll try this but is there a big difference with this method?



According to you and if I understand, ( ) extracting files after installation is primordial?



I did but i didn't find more details.

Extracting bases before installation doesn't work and extracting bases after installation works.

Thank you Batman

np.
Glad you got it working

Another way update installation files with installshield x.Currently i'm using

I have created sfx file but when extract I recive this message

the "Kaspersky\CommonAppData\Kaspersky Lab\KAV Personal Pro\5.0\Bases\" folder is inaccessible
WHY?

thak's I try it

this what i do...eazy way

the extraction/copying to Bases folder is working since a log time for me.
maybe you¡re doing something wrong with your script ot batch file.

i use a winrar sfx with this commands only:


this works fine. also keep in mind that if you want to get the latest virus defs always download weekly updates plus cumulative so you get the defs up to the day you downloaded both.
