Zone Alarm Anti-spyware switch

[eddie11013]

Zone labs had a one day “give away” for Zone Alarm Anti-spyware, which can be found here: http://www.zonealarm.com/store/content/cat...u_list_zaas.jsp , if you click on the ‘Download Trial’. From past experience, I know that the regular ‘free‘ zone alarm firewall will install with the following switches: /s /noreboot , however you get a pop up that says: “Could not find Config File C:\Documents“. Once you click ‘OK’, the unattended install will continue, and za will install. Of course you no longer have an “unattended” install. LOL. Anyone know of a way around this issue. The regular, free firewall for za can be found here: http://www.zonealarm.com/store/content/cat...=US〈=en I assume whatever works for one will work for the other. I did see something on their website that may suggest: /s /noreboot /pwinstset

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or guidance,

Eddie

Thanks for suggestion, however I do already have Ad-Aware & Spybot as stand alone scanners, and the issue wasn't so much about ZA's anti-spyware, since I got it free, but ZA's firewall, which of course is also free. They being one and the same, the issue was how to install it 'silently'.

Thanks again,

Eddie

Hi Eddie, I have tried the link above and it does work. These are the lines from my silent ZA Pro installer.

@ECHO OFF

ECHO Installing ZoneAlarm Professional 7.0.337

ECHO Please wait...

start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\Zonelabs\zapSetup_70_408_000_en.exe /s /i /lickey xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx /noreboot

As for your original post... The "could not find config File C:\Documents" could be due to the space in C:\Documents and Settings. To resolve this, enclose the path in quotes. Example: "C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Zonelabs" or whatever the path may be.

Thanks for replying. I've actually never used a batch file before. But I'm certainly willing to learn. I created one based on that write up that I posted, as follows:

ECHO.

ECHO Installing ZoneAlarm Free 7.0.408.000

ECHO Please wait...

start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\Zone Labs\ZoneAlarm\zaZA_Setup_en.exe /s /noreboot

And the address would be: C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\install\Applications\Zone Labs\ZoneAlarm

And I put the 'exe' and the batch file into this 'ZoneAlarm' folder.

Is this correct?

Thanks again for any help you can give me, HK 10/100

And the address would be: C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\install\Applications\Zone Labs\ZoneAlarm

No, the path on your installation source will be $OEM$\$1\Install\Applications\Zone...blah, which will be copied during setup to the root of the drive where you will install Windows, so probably C:\, and there the full path would be C:\Install\Applications\Zone...blah. See the $OEM$ guide here for more information.

A little help, please. What am I doing wrong.

Latest Attempt - Saved as ZoneAlarm.cmd

@ECHO OFF

ECHO.

ECHO Installing ZoneAlarm Free 7.0.408.000

ECHO Please wait...

start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\Applications\Zone Labs\zaZA_Setup_en.exe /s /noreboot

Address: $OEM$\$1\Install\Applications\Zone Labs

I put the ‘exe’ & the ‘.cmd’ into this folder

Also added the following to “i386: winnt.sif:

[GuiRunOnce]

%systemdrive%\Install\ZoneAlarm.cmd

Testing with ‘Virtual Box’, on first boot I receive the following error message:

C:\Install\ZoneAlarm.cmd

Windows cannot find ‘C:\Install\ZoneAlarm.cmd’. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. Etc....

Thanks for any assistance,

Eddie

PS: Resolved, put ZoneAlarm.cmd into $1\Install folder & changed "\Zone Labs" to \ZoneLabs & put zaZA_Setup_en.exe into "\Applications\ZoneLabs" folder

Thanks
