Avast Antivirus

[WadeV1589]

I searched but nothing came up about it.

Also I can't find anything about setting Firefox as the default browser nor how to set DAP to be the default download accelerator (DAP isn't a valid search term).

and it is in the second page of the sticky. Like Alanoll has said probably too many times, People need to keep in mind that alot of things are more than 30 days old when you are searching.

Hey m8 where did you get that info??? I looked so long for this one The only thing I've found was putting the inf in the same directory...

@big_gie

not really difficult when u realize that the setup is a simple Inno package.

For more information please read Tim Rude's post (he read the IS help for us ) at

http://news.jrsoftware.org/news/innosetup/msg18863.html

Hope the link works for a while !

To summarize,

The following information comes from the IS help:

Optional Setup Command Line Parameters:

/SP-

Disables the This will install... Do you wish to continue? prompt at the

beginning of Setup. Of course, this will have no effect if the

DisableStartupPrompt [setup]section directive was set to yes.

/SILENT, /VERYSILENT

Instructs Setup to be silent or very silent. When Setup is silent the wizard

and the background window are not displayed but the installation progress

window is. When a setup is very silent this installation progress window is

not displayed. Everything else is normal so for example error messages

during installation are displayed and the startup prompt is (if you haven't

disabled it with DisableStartupPrompt or the '/SP-' command line option

explained above)

If a restart is necessary and the '/NORESTART' command isn't used (see

below) and Setup is silent, it will display a Reboot now? messagebox. If

it's very silent it will reboot without asking.

/NOCANCEL

Prevents the user from cancelling during the installation process, by

disabling the Cancel button and ignoring clicks on the close button. Useful

along with /SILENT.

/NORESTART

Instructs Setup not to reboot even if it's necessary.

/LOADINF="filename"

Instructs Setup to load the settings from the specified file after having

checked the command line. This file can be prepared using the '/SAVEINF='

command as explained below.

Don't forget to use quotes if the filename contains spaces.

/SAVEINF="filename"

Instructs Setup to save installation settings to the specified file.

Don't forget to use quotes if the filename contains spaces.

/DIR="x:\dirname"

Overrides the default directory name displayed on the Select Destination

Directory wizard page. A fully qualified pathname must be specified. If the

[setup] section directive DisableDirPage was set to yes, this command line

parameter is ignored.

/GROUP="folder name"

Overrides the default folder name displayed on the Select Start Menu Folder

wizard page. If the [setup] section directive DisableProgramGroupPage was

set to yes, this command line parameter is ignored.

/NOICONS

Instructs Setup to initially disable the Don't create any icons check box on

the Select Start Menu Folder wizard page.

/COMPONENTS="comma separated list of component names"

Overrides the default components settings. Using this command line parameter

causes Setup to automatically select a custom type.

---

Optional Uninstaller Command Line Parameters:

/SILENT

When specified, the uninstaller will not ask the user any questions or

display a message stating that uninstall is complete. Shared files that are

no longer in use are deleted automatically without prompting. Any critical

error messages will still be shown on the screen.

Caution: there are some bugs when you set the pathname. Depend on the Innosetup software version, it will be concatenated with the Program Files pathname like

c:\Program Files\c:\whatever your path is

and abort the installation.

A work around is :

please don't specify the drive letter and ajust your pathname with some ..\..\ like

..\..\your path\you have chosen\

Hope that will help.

And now the second KissKool effect...(pub)

If that doesn't always work for you, create your target paths before u launch the install.

ps: Great, i didn't realize that i could win a star , thx for my supporters

I tried to use the switch /saveinf="C:\avast.inf" when I did an install, but it didn't work. I don't want all the components of Avast Pro installed (ie. only p2p, standard shield and another one).

I tried to write my own inf file with the components, but it didn't work. Does anyone know what the component names are?

Thanks

I didn't know avast antivirus used inno setup. Last time I tried it (about three weeks ago) it wasn't. That's news to me. Oh well.

[saitoh183]

the /saveinf doesnt work for me...i have the latest version of Avast home...did they change the type of installer?

[code]c:\setupeng.exe /setupinf=".\avast.inf"[/code]

Thats the code i used

[Radimus]

I use:

start /wait "" AvastAV\setupeng.exe /SILENT /SP- /NORESTART

[saitoh183]

im using a runonceex.cmd...but that still doesnt tell me what type of installer it is...

@Radimus

since you used [quote]start /wait "" AvastAV\setupeng.exe /SILENT /SP- /NORESTART[/quote]

That would mean its a inno setup...so isn't my [code]c:\setupeng.exe /setupinf=".\avast.inf"[/code] working?

[Radimus]

try giving it a full path instead of the relative path

[saitoh183]

I think i just found my mistake... i wrote setupinf instead saveinf....

edit: Well I tried [code]c:\avast45549.exe /saveinf=".\avast.inf"[/code] and [code]c:\avast45549.exe /saveinf="c:\avast.inf"[/code] but still doesn't work...

[saitoh183]

anyone have any info?
