ZoneAlarm Free v7.0.462

**eddie11013** · March 6, 2008

Sorry to report ‘failure’.

I originally thought that this ‘autoit’ script worked. Why? Because the way I ’usually’ test a newly made silent installer is to click on it and if it installs and installs without any ill effects you assume success. That appeared to be the case. Yesterday, I made a new ISO, and when I tested it in a virtual machine, I got the usual “pop up” that says: “Could not find Config File C:\Documents“. Once you click ‘OK’, the unattended install will continue, and Zone Alarm will install. But of course that’s not a “silent install”. I have also noticed in the past, that it sometimes messes up the ‘add & remove’ programs, it did so this time also. However, all is not lost, I can still use this ‘autoit silent installer’ and install Zone Alarm that way, post installation. It does speed up that part of the process since it makes for a basically ‘no hands’ installation of the program.

Thanks for reading,

Eddie

PS: I also tried the 'cab' made by radix which yielded the same results.

Some installers aren't compatible with svcpack.

I tested this installer on a running Windows machine (not from T13).

I think that is possible to install from WPI/RunOnceEx.

I will delete the link from my previous post.

Zone Alarm has a new installer, http://www.filehippo.com/download_zonealarm_free/. Hoping you can make me a new 'autoit' script, without the spyblocker, please.

I tried the WPI, but unfortunately it was to complicated for me. And I had a look at the RVM Integrator, but it too was to complicated for me.

Thanks in advance,

Eddie

Yes,

Shame on me.

After I posted, I thought, maybe its the same script. I made some minor obvious changes, like changing the "7.0.462.0" to 7.0.470.0. Redid the routine I had done before. Uninstalled ZA, used your script to create a new switchless installer and reinstalled and everything works great.

Thanks again, radix

Eddie

PS: I have now saved your script for future use.

**radix** · March 24, 2008

ninstalled ZA, used your script to create a new switchless installer and reinstalled and everything works great.
Thanks again, radix

Glad to see that it works.

**cool400** · March 25, 2008

@Radix

Thanks for your great script!

But if I'm right it will only work for an english version of ZA. Is it possible to change your script to work with the german version?

Best regards and thanks a lot

Is possible. Just change the title and text for windows that appear on installation process.

**cool400** · March 27, 2008

THX, I already figured that out!

Is there a way to avoid that the installation-window appears on the screen? Because I want a complete "silent" installation!

Best regards

Try the /s switch, but probable will not work (like in previous version of ZA).

If don't work, you can try to move the windows on the other side of desktop (with minus coordinate).

i have also been having problems getting an addon that works for zonealarm, is there a chance you would share the addon, once its working? the english, US for xp sp2.

ZA free installer is not compatible with SVCPACK.

I have found the following solution for me - I install ZA free at the first user-logon via RunOnceEx.cmd, which brings up a nice GUI and installs ZA Free silently:

REG ADD %KEY%\099 /VE /D "Zonelabs Zonealarm" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\099 /V 1 /D "%~d0\INSTALL\zlsSetup_65_737_000_de.exe /s /noreboot /i" /f

This should also work with the latest ZA Free-version, but I'm already trying this out!

EDIT: I can confirm that the silent-installation also works with version 7.0.462.000 (this is the lastest version that's available in German)!

I tested it first with this "old" version because the new one has annoying popups the whole time

Best regards

But for old and new free english version the /s switch doesn't work.

I can confirm that on the newest version of ZoneAlarm Free (7.0.473) the silent install switches are working

zaZA_Setup_en.exe /s /i /noreboot

does a silent install, but it looks like it also installs the "ZoneAlarm Spy Blocker" toolbar in Internet Explorer

Does any one know if theres a way to disable its installation ?
