Hi,

I want to include AntiVir in my unattended DVD and I have big problems with it!

H+BEDV includes in the help-file some switches for unattended install, but this is only for the professional edition and I don't want to buy it!

So my question: Does anyone know how to do a silent installation with the personal edition?

I tried to combine the setup.inf of the professional edition with the personal edition, but I wasn't able to deactivate the virus scan before the setup! The personal edition ignores the this option of the inf-file!

Please help me!!

I'm also interested in this. I was going to make a vbscript to install it, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

hi,

just unpack avwinsfx.exe and run it with:

Setup.exe /silent

but you have to live with the initial virus-scan.

hope this helps a bit

After hours...

made a working batch file...

cmdow @ /HID {optionnal}

@echo off

echo.

echo installing antivir...

start install\Applications\avwinsfx\disk_1\Setup.exe /silent

echo waiting for lukefilewalker to kill...

:kill

taskkill.exe /F /IM AVWIN.EXE

if errorlevel 1 GOTO kill

exit

@ PSAAC

I'll give it a go, best in cmd?

what about runonceEX from a %cdrm% ?

thanks for your time, I really like AntiVir,

they update reg and it works well....

Bonedaddy

I'll let you know

@ PSAAC

cmd window said cannot find avwin and

repeated it many times

is errorlevel one word???

EDIT: It would help if I copy and paste, sorry

but I typed start\wait thats not what you

had in your code changed it and works......

I'm a newby in writing cmd but I'm quite proud of this one....

I tried with the Runonceex method but it didn't work so I did it in cmd...

Hope this will help some....

Hi,

I try to install Antivir Personal with "setup.exe /silent" but i wont work! What's wrong? The initial setupscreen apears.

Tanks for your Help.

I have found at way to install Antivir Personal Edition silent.

English is not my main language, but I still hope it is understandably.

1) Download AntiVir Pro. from Http://www.hbedv.com/en/products/antivir_w...tion/index.html (select AntiVir Windows Workstation - zip version)

2) Extract the file "\disk_1\Admin\setup.inf".

3) Open Setup.inf with at text - editor and change it setting to following :

ReadmeNew=0

Scan=2

ShowReadMe=0

RestartWindows=0

Pop3=0

You can change rest of the setting as you like, but this setting are very importen.

Scan=2 is not documentet, but it prevent scan after the installation.

4) Download AntiVir Personal Edition and extract the files for installation.

Start the install, for exampel like this :

"C:\install\Antivir\disk_1\setup.exe /INFc:\install\Antivir\setup.inf /PATHc:\install\Antivir\disk_1"

Use the whole path to setup.exe and setup.inf

/PATH tell where the installation files are.

It install silent and no scan when it is done

REG ADD %KEY%\015 /VE /D "AntiVir Personal Edition" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\015 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\AntiVir\setup.exe /SILENT @NO_SCAN" /f
