There was a update of Spy Sweeper

I tried to install 4.0 the same way as 3.5, but it didnt install.

Any one who has 4.0 installed??
DLF
Are you referring to Webroot Spy sweeper V4.0.1.323? Its still beta. So maybe "Final" will install OK as before. Webroot Spy Sweeper v3.5.0 Build 199 is still the official LATEST final version.

Webroot Spy sweeper

N.B. Some people also reporting virus warnings when installing V4.0.1.323 and also some people can only install it in Safe Mode. Not beta?? whistling.gif
muiz
It does not say its BETA

CODE
4.0.1  (Build 323)
Full Program (XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX)
Subscription Service: Activated (Expires: dinsdag 16 mei 2006)
http://www.webroot.com/


When they have an update i receive an e-mail.
I get one last week , in the mail they also didnt mentioned BETA
So what u say is not true , sorry.
DLF

last i've seen is the beta version, i tried running switches w/ it but just might have to wait on the final for that..........
muiz
I bought Spy Sweeper, and i receive emails about them including updates
So nice site you gave us , but i have to dissapoint you.
Its no BETA


read again m8
DLF
Why is the site called BETAnews?

P.S. There's a clue in the name. whistling.gif

And they continue to update releases until it goes final and then it will say so. The software manufacturers USE BETAnews as a platform for their products and to get info to the marketplace. When it goes final they'll report it and issue the version number.
DLF
EDIT Not beta? Just gone to V4.0.1 Build 323 to 331 now within 24hrs. (17 May/1300hrsGMT/UK)

Hmmmmmm...
muiz
whatever........

i believe webroot, and not a geek beta site...

but since you dont have a clue what you talking about, maybe someone else knows how to solve this problem

Before this breaks out into an all-out flame war, here's what I noticed:

If you already have Spy Sweeper 3.5 installed, and click the "Update Program" button under Options, the Web site tells you that you have the most current version installed.

BUT...

If you go to Webroot's web site, click on "Re-Download Purchased Software", and enter your information, it sends you a link for 4.0. The installation is for 4.0.1 Build 331. The new download is about 6 MB, twice as large as the size of 3.5.

If you right-click the executable, under Properties -> Version -> Comments it says the executable's built using Inno Setup, but I also couldn't get any of the usual Inno Setup switches to work.

Also, based on the way the program looks and feels, I'd say it's still a beta. Graphics are not as advanced as in 3.5. Memory scan takes a long time, but scans of the hard drive hardly take any time at all, so overall scan time is down. If you're concerned about being exposed to spyware, you may want to continue to run 3.5, since it's the tried and true. If your system is somewhat safe, and behind a firewall, and you don't participate in the "click the monkey and you win a prize!" crap, go ahead and give 4.0 a try.

like i said, they sended me an e-mail with update, they never send me betas


and when i try to install, it says its damaged, please reinstall, on all machines.

time to break out installrite or autoit.............
coucou
HI,

Here my contribution.
1) I build a AutoIt installer here enclosed. Tested Working.
Before running it, please enter yr registration code in line 5
CODE
Send("XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX")


Moreover, I added a
CODE
Send("{SPACE}")
command this will uncheck the "Run Spy Sweeper Now". Therefore, "taskkill /F /IM SpySweeper.exe[/code]" is not more needed

Enjoy
coucou
muiz
Cool...

But 1 thing, it stops at : register spy sweeper now?

I changed that, now it works.

THX for your help coucou thumbup.gif

(enclosed the right file)
coucou
Yeah!!!
I had "register spy sweeper now" too and i deleted it because it doesn't detected.
I think it detected in the first install.

As I had to install many times for testing and building the AutoIt installer, the "register spy sweeper now" wasn't anymore dectected and the install stoped.

Anyway... Good Job

muiz
we solved the problem....

but now...how make this silent?????
muiz
And how about the prefs ?

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Webroot]

CODE

DLF
Another build, lads, hope you're keeping up with all these "final" releases.
Build 4.0.2.352
https://secure.webroot.com/register/softwar...ates.asp?rc=805
muiz
thx DLF newwink.gif

But your link points to 3.2.0.146
tridgely
SS has been updated to 4.0.4.430

I'm trying to install it (/VERYSILENT /SP-) and it brings up a prompt asking if I'd want to download and install new updates. It then opens a browser window.

I went through with innounp 0.16 and it looks like the install script generated is incomplete. It won't recompile cleanly at all. I went through most of the error messages and removed parts from the script to make it work, but now it errors on compilation here (from install_script.iss):

CODE
Source: "{app}\WRSSSDK.exe"; DestDir: "{app}"; AfterInstall: "RunServiceInstall"; MinVersion: 4.1.1998,4.0.1381; Flags: uninsneveruninstall restartreplace ignoreversion


It doesn't like the AfterInstall part...RunServiceInstall is not defined. At this point, I'd have to rewrite that bit in order to get it working. Anybody know how I could better unpack the installer, so it's not losing these pieces? I don't want to resort to AutoIT if I don't have to.
coucou
I think better you uninstall and reinstall it with the appropriate switches (see here above)
CODE
/VERYSILENT /KC=XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX
when XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX is yr serial number

I installed it many time updates included very smoothly with the above switches.

I don't have a key code; I'm just installing the trial version. I don't see how adding the /KC switch is going to change anything, and I'm already using /VERYSILENT.

Trial Download Link

It does install near-silently when I'm using /VERYSILENT /SP- (i.e. it doesn't prompt me for most of the install tasks), but it prompts to check if I want to update the defs before install, and then it brings up a browser window.

I think that it's because of new functionality Webroot has created for the newer versions.
coucou
Then Sorry, I can't help you
