Copy the following then paste into nswreg.reg, and replace the xs with your installation key, but without typing dashes:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\CCPD-LC\KStore\00000082\0000000b\00000011]"Key"="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

If you don't need Scan link in Explorer Toolbar, consider adding this line to your batch file:

REG DELETE "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar" /v {42CDD1BF-3FFB-4238-8AD1-7859DF00B1D6} /f

Your batch file is:

cls

@echo off

ECHO.

ECHO Registering NSW Pro 2004

REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\Install\NSW2004\nswreg.reg

ECHO.

ECHO Installing NSW Pro 2004

start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\NSW2004\NSWSETUP.exe /qb REBOOT=ReallySuppress

REG DELETE "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar" /v {42CDD1BF-3FFB-4238-8AD1-7859DF00B1D6} /f

ECHO.

EXIT

Note: /qb shows progress bars, /qn shows nothing. So, you decide.

Is there any way to select the components of Norton SystemWorks (2002, 2003, or 2004) and use the MSI? Something like a TRANSFORMS file (.mst) for Norton or an INI?

I'd also like to know where Norton keeps it's settings (INI or registry)? If registry, where?

Anyone?

Thanks,

JP

There is a hint for NAV Pro 2004, here:

I'm not sure wether it works for NSW 2004, too. Give it a try!

It reduces size by excluding components.

Since it is a MSI, you should be able to create a transform just like any other MSI.

If you don't have the tools to do that, you could download and use Orca (Microsoft's free MSI Table editor) to open the MSI and get a list of features from the Feature table, and use the ADDLOCAL= property on the commandline to select which features you want to add.

For example, ADDLOCAL=ALL would install everything. ADDLOCAL=FEATURENAME1, FEATURENAME3. would only install the referenced features. (These are made up names, the actual names are listed in the FEATURE table of the MSI.) etc.

Referenced features would need to be seperated by comma's.

Give it a try, it can't hurt. And you may have to experiment to get exactly which are needed/required vs which are not.

Hope this helps.

with the german version, /qb does it at all.....

I'd be intrested in more info on this.

I've downloaded Orca and have opened the msi, but am not sure what to mess with and what not to.

but it sure would be nice not to have some of the stuff NSW 2003 installs

basically only anit-virus, speed disk, windoctor and that sort of thing are necessary

I hate the way it renames and 'protects' the recycle bin

what a waste of resources

Hi there,

I have been playimg around with NSW2005. It is VERY interesting. It requires you to use the Setup program. If you try and install just the MSI it closes with a message telling you to use the install.

What I want is to Install Systemworks WITHOUT Antivirus and Ghost. Then I want to use Symantec Corporate Anti-virus 9 for the Antivirus.

If you install NSW first then the Corporate Antivirus 9 it won't install, it also asks to use the install program. BUT... If you install it first there is no problem to get it on but when you install Systemworks right after it without rebooting it will wipe out the Corporate Edition 9.

I like the idea of the ADDLOCAL but the NSWSETUP.EXE seems to ignore any switchs you throw at it.

Any Help On This?
