Full Version: Bitdefender 8 Professional Plus Unattended Install
How can I silently install it, with all the updates included (cumulative.zip), and have, Antivirus, Antispam, Firewall and Auto Update enabled? (Basically all of these are enabled by default if you make a full install) I use RunOnceEx from CD.
this is more than tricky, i'll try to explain it quickly since it can take a LOT of time:
extract the contents of the installer, you'll see a .msi file.
create an admin install point "msiexec.exe /a %path%\bitdefender8.msi"
on the new folder containing the admin install you can edit .ini files, most of them contain preferences.
add the cumulative update overwritten if necessary.
now you are ready to install with /qb switch over the .msi (admin point) or you can take the whole folder and add it to a rar-sfx to save space.
finally your serial is stored on win.ini, you'll need to replace it during installation

Slight problem. While creating an admin install point, I come to this screen.
The CD-Key is 10 numbers long. The CD-Key I have is like this: XXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX And i know it works because i have installed BitDefender before.
Anyway, when I click next it just continues to create the admin point. The only reference I found for a serial number is in bdmcon.ini and it's empty, and I believe that because I left the CD-Key field in the image above empty.
I also couldn't find a win.ini anywhere.

no matter what you introduce at cd-key, you'll be able to continue with the admin install.
win.ini is stored on C:\windows
win.ini is stored on C:\windows
How do i add my serial number in win.ini ? Example?
register and then back to win.ini 
I'm sorry, i didnt understand. What do you mean register and them back to win.ini? What is the procedure of adding the registration exactly? Is it a reg file? or something else?
as i said, just enter your key, then go to c:\windows\win.ini and replace that file during uA to register the program.
Where in win.ini do i paste the serial number?
This is my current win.ini, i have bitdefender 8.0 installed, and i dont see the serial number anywhere.

what i marked as alphanumeric is your personal bitdefender's encrypted key.
i suggest you to edit your post and remove the content of your win.ini, as any1 reading this post can make use of that key you posted.
as i said (again) just export the entire file (win.ini) during uA.
CODE
add the cumulative update overwritten if necessary.
How can i do that, i downloaded this file but i can`t unzip it, i received this message
CODE
x:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\Downloads\Compressed\cumulative.zip: Unexpected end of archive!
i downloaded this file again and the problem still as it.
if this is normall how can i update the admin install point
How can i Disable antispam and firewall features i mean i don`t want to install them.
when i install with /qb switch over the .msi (admin point) after the installation finishes, scandisk starts automatically, and the registration window opens up. How do i stop these 2 actions?

those are part of the whole setup, there's no way to skip them during setup (or at least i haven't found any). continue reading belowQUOTE (Nucleus @ Aug 14 2005, 02:49 PM)

you've 2 options, to kill the incoming window you can use pskill to stop the process or the recommended...
install BD8 and go to its folder on %PF%, you'll see a bunch of ini files. after creating the admin install point, overwrite .ini files present on that folder with the ones on %PF%.
this is the way to export your preferences (i.e. to disable antispam and firewall features, this is for mzar720
).you can alternatively dig on those .ini files to just disable the incoming autoscan window. hope it to be clear
Clear enough. I'm already on the search for an easier to unattendedly install antivirus
Well there is a autoit script for this application...so why not just edit up the source code on that to do what you need.
thanks SiMoNsAyS
i will try it soon.
i am tring to avoid AutoIT as i can because i don`t have the ability to edit it correctly.

Nologic, i have tried your BitDefender autoit script, but after the installation of BitDefender finishes, i get the error message on the following image.
What i did, is i just took your script, edited it with my serial number, and changed the "Setup File Name" variable to BitDefender.msi. Then i converted it to exe using AutoIt v3.
Also, this is what i used in my RunOnceEx
Also, if possible, i would like to remove the "File Zone | Net Zone" that appears by deafult after the installation of BitDefender.

i tested it but it didn`t work for me
I have also tried this script, but the installation stuck at the following point, as you can see on the picture.

@Nucleus, you didn't exported win.ini correctly b4 the setup
I thought that the purpose of the autoit file was to enter the serial number automatically, so that i wouldn't have to export to win.ini

Can see the problem. Your picture shows
"BitDefender 8 Professional Plus - Registration"
as the title, but the script has
"BitDefender Professional Plus - Registration".
You are missing the 8 ?
blah hadn't planned on supporting this script any more....but oh well.
Note I don't own or have a copy of the software to test against...since this was written for my brother a while back.
