in my bat file i have

ECHO.

ECHO Installing AVG Free

ECHO Please wait...

start /wait %systemdrive%\install\AVGFree\setup.exe /HIDE /@ avg_net.cfg

but it doesnt instal, nor even give an error message

any ideas?

thanks

[kC_]

bump...

[kC_]

or any other free antivirus that works?

[Jito463]

I work for a small OEM, and we install AVG 6 FE on new machines as a basic AV for the customer. I, too, have been having issues with the preinstall. If anyone could assist in this, I would greatly appreciate it. Is it possible this method only works for the pro version, and not the free edition?

[kC_]

judging by the amount of people who have viewd and not replyed too this topic ...i dont think it will work

either that, or there is a hell of a lot of ignorant ppl

in the sticky topic at the top Strat has a AUTO IT script for AVG free, but the download link doesnt work

I pm'd him days ago... but he too falls into that ignorant category

have u looked here?

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=10705&st=10

there is a VBscript from Schadenfroh 4 the AVG free edition

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

WshShell.Run ("setup.exe")

WScript.Sleep 4000

WshShell.SendKeys "~"

WScript.Sleep 1000

WshShell.SendKeys "~"

WScript.Sleep 1000

WshShell.SendKeys "AVG-1-17354670-NTZ"

im not familiar with vb scripts?

could you please explain how too do it thanks:)

and what did the admin remove?

[killerbee]

hi,

you could also use InstallRite to get it working. In my opinion you should give it a try...

hope this helps a bit

cya

just save this VBScript as setup.vbs or whatever in the same folder where the setup.exe from AVG is

maybe u must change the product key in this script

then just execute this script

no idea if this works, try it

[kC_]

thanks gonna try it out

i take it i can just add it like this too my bat file?....

ECHO.

ECHO Installing AVG Free

ECHO Please wait...

start /wait %systemdrive%\install\AVG Free\AVG.vbs

no swithces?

also must the avg_net.cfg be present ?

[kC_]

ok it works:) great stuff...

but is it possible too make that vbs untick "restart now" at the end of the installation?

thanks

kC
