ZoneAlarm (free edition)


Recommended Posts

I hope someone finds this information usefull.

It was my hope to do an unattended install of a fully configured ZoneAlarm firewall. Searching the forums helped get me past the registration screens etc., but did not help with the configuration.

After investigation I finally found that the configuration information is stored in "%windir%\Internet Logs\IAMDB.RDB". I thought I was home free when I found this, but it wasn't that simple. I can copy a previously created file into this if I stop ZoneAlarm from the system tray right click menu. To do it unattended has eluded me. It turns out this file is used by both zlclient.exe and vsmon.exe. Vsmon is running as a service. If I disable it to copy in the file I cannot get it going again. It refuses to start. I have to reinstall ZoneAlarm to get it going again.

I finally gave up and resorted to using AutoIt.

If anyone has come up with a more elegant solution I would like to know.

I just found this info on a dutch website

this is what I'm going to try next

ECHO.

ECHO Installing ZoneAlarm Free 3.7.202

ECHO Please wait...

start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\ZoneAlarm\zasetup37_202.exe /s /noreboot

obviously one would have to change filenames for different versions

right, here's how ive got it so far:

export the following keys from your newly set up working zonealarm

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Zone Labs]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Zone Labs]

zllictbl.dat is placed in system32 using the $oem$ folder, install the main program using "ZoneAlarmPro.exe /s /noreboot" then import the reg files works sweet.

just gotta implement the program settings now!

:rolleyes:

:D:)
