paul3vanz Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Hi, I noticed quite a few requests for a way to install it. Might have the answer here:When you run the main setup exe, which for me is 13.3mb. It does some unpacking then brings up a EULA. I had a look in:"C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp"and there was a folder called "vsp8.tmp"so here's all the unpacked files yeah? if you open up "AgentVer.ini" there's this section at the bottom:[installConfig]Welcome="-1"SilentInstall="0"DesktopIcon="-1"CreateProgramShortcut="1"ProgramMenuFolderName=""ProgramMenuShortcutName=""UninstMenuShortcutName=""CreateUninstShortcut="0"DefIsduSend="1"RunInsfin="1"RemoveSetupFiles="0"CDRomBuild="1"MISInstall="-1"RunMcUpdate="0"lo and behold there's a SilentInstall switch! As I said I've not tried this to see if it works, but I will do and let you know the results. Looks like there's some other interesting options here aswell.i then tried using the original exe with /SilentInstall and it does actually work. Only problem is it doesn't skip the licence agreement.any ideas anyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echobrain Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 I'm Trying to make a silent install for mcafee 8, but I think I got the same problem as you did describe, I can't get it to hide the eula message.I've tried editing the ini file you mentioned, but that didn't seem to do anything.There was someone that did make a js script for adaware, maybe something like that is needed here too, all it should do is send this key sequence: "<u><tab><tab><enter>"unfortunatly I don't know anything about js Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatGuyPSU Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 For s***s-n-giggles, I emailed tech support to see if they could be of any help. Their initial reply said it couldn't be done. After replying with a question as to why their previous version supported this feature, but an "upgrade" didn't, this is what I received.----- Original Message ----- From: m-VirusScan Online To: ThatGuyPSUSent: Saturday, May 15, 2004 3:46 AMSubject: RE: Request for Agent Assistance-#430010455880#-Dear Todd,Thank you for contacting McAfee Consumer Online Support.
