Can anyone tell me how to get a silent install of ez armor (ez firewall and EZ antivirus) i have tries to split the install file to find a switch and tried to the complet intall setup but to no avail.

Many thanx

Gary

I extracted EZ Antivirus also and ran Setup.exe -R and have the setup.iss. It don't work either. Still have to hit enter twice then enter the Reg key. Tried it with sendkeys.vbs but was unable to get that to work either. This one is tough.

Guess I'll try with Auto it next.

I tryed looking at a copy i found that dosn't need a key to install.

I got the copy from M$ with the updates CD i got in feb but can't se any difference I don't know where they enter the serial number it must be something to do with the main package not the files inside

any idea how to edit/find out how the setup file works?

I've been using EZ Antivirus for quite some time so I'm a registered user reason I have the serial dialog. Here's the setup.iss I got

[installShield Silent]
Version=v5.00.000
File=Response File
[File Transfer]
OverwriteReadOnly=YesToAll
[DlgOrder]
Dlg0=SdWelcome-0
Count=3
Dlg1=SdLicense-0
Dlg2=SdOptionsButtons-0
[sdWelcome-0]
Result=1
[sdLicense-0]
Result=1
[sdOptionsButtons-0]
Result=111
[Application]
Name=Anti-Virus
Version=0.5
Company=ComputerAssociates
Lang=0009

I run it with this

start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\EZAntivirus\setup.exe -s -f1%systemdrive%\Install\EZAntivirus\setup.iss

But I still get the 2 dialog's before the Serial one.

After I put in the serial it creates a file I am unable to open/copy or anything in the Temp dir. Perhap's I need to merge the reg first see if that work's.

This is messy but works

You'll have to figure out exact key sequence you need.

After merging my reg file It already has my serial number

EZvirus.vbs

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

'	Give time to extract and load
WScript.Sleep 10000

'	Welcome 
WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"
WScript.Sleep 2000

'	License Agreement
WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"
WScript.Sleep 2000

'	Product License Key
WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"
WScript.Sleep 2000

'	Setup Options

WScript.Sleep 20000

'	Typical

WScript.Sleep 500
WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"
WScript.Sleep 8000

'	Update Warning

WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"

'	Restart = No
WScript.Sleep 5000
WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}"
WScript.Sleep 1000
WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"

'	Apply Update
WScript.Sleep 3000
WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"

Set WshShell = Nothing
WScript.Quit

My EZvirus.cmd

Reg extracted from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ComputerAssociates\Anti-Virus

cmdow @ /min /HID
regedit /s %systemdrive%\Install\EZAntivirus\EZvirus.reg
start %systemdrive%\Install\EZAntivirus\EZvirus.vbs /b
start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\EZAntivirus\EZvirus.exe
%systemdrive%\Install\EZAntivirus\aup_5443.exe
EXIT

Notice the aup_5443.exe. That updates it to latest at end.

In RunonceEX I call EZvirus.cmd

[EZAntivirus]
REG ADD %KEY%\iAdd /VE /D "EZAntivirus 6.1.4.0" /f"
REG ADD %KEY%\iAdd /V 1 /D "cmd /C start /min /wait %systemdrive%\Install\EZAntivirus\EZvirus.cmd" /f

Updated to call the vbs script from the cmd. That works in VMWare and normally by just adding to RunonceEX and logging off. For some reason the vbs script would not execute in VMWare.

Anyone had any luck with this one?

I keep getting the dang prompt for the key!!!!

thnx

In case anyone cares....

I contacted E-Trust and they said the dont support silent installs at this time.

TWILL, download and run InstallRight, it will silently install ANY application, whether it has silent install capabilities or not

This is messy but works

That sendkey's work's for me.

Someone sent me an email asking for the reg entries. I've done stated that exporting this key has the serial all setup on install.

Reg extracted from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ComputerAssociates\Anti-Virus

Thanks for the replies guys!

Ive been real busy I had forgotten about this topic. Ive given up on it.

@MCT I tried but could not get the install rite to work...

@Max I dont prefer the send keys option but thanks anyway.

TWILL

Would you like an Auto IT script? Better than .vbs and sendkeys. Seems like the only(feasable) way.

@Strat79 -- Thanks fof the offer. Im not that worried about it anymore. I spent way too much time trying to get it to work with the windows post installer.

Thanks again
