Bodman Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Hi, I have managed to get Norton Antivirus 2003 to install Silently but once windows is finished installing I have to go through the Configuration Wizard (Registraton, Schedule weekly scans, run live update etc etc) is there any way to either stop this or pre configure it//Bodman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazin Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 You can replace CfgWiz.exe with a subtle one. I applied this idea with v2004 Pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applied this idea with v2004 Pro.Please detail what you do - I would like to know how you do it.@Bodman-The most fail-proof method is to have these commands in your .cmd:get your nav installed from right path with /QB-! switchthen sleep 5 (seconds)then pskill cfgwiz.exeThis is what I do.

Bodman Posted July 28, 2004 Author Share Posted July 28, 2004 I looked for the file cfgwiz.exe on the machine but couldnt find it I thought it would be in the same place as in NAV2004 but its not. I also ran a search of the C drive but still no good any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also ran a search of the C drive but still no good I didn't find it either - its not a separate file in NAV2k3. But WTF I can always move up to NAV2k4 (and enjoy your method). Do see that you have an original un-modified source install of your NAV though, before using it.@mazin-All I can say now is, HUHHHHHH !!!!!!HURRAY !!!!!!!!!That thread existed and I didn't see it? Something's growing old in me I shall try your method, should work I suppose.Thanx a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodman Posted July 28, 2004 Author Share Posted July 28, 2004 A bit more info, I am looking to create a fully unattended install of windows (like the rest of us) So with NAV2004 I followed Mazins guide (the final battle) and got it to work but when I try this on another machine I stilll need to go through the activation process, so I thought I would drop back to NAV2003, which works fine but it still runs the config wizard at the end of the install. I have looked on the CD and also the installed machine for the cfgwiz.exe file but cant find one. Thanks in advance//Bodman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodman Posted July 28, 2004 Author Share Posted July 28, 2004 I have found that once installed if I delete the following reg keys[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\Norton AntiVirus]"NeedActivation"=dword:00000000"LaunchConfigWiz"=dword:00000001[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]"NAV CfgWiz"="C:\\PROGRA~1\\NORTON~1\\Cfgwiz.exe /R"this stops the Config Wizard from running. the only problem i have now is how can I do this from a .cmd file so I can automate it ( I tried -HKEY........ but this deletes the whole tree and not just the entry)//Bodman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodman Posted August 10, 2004 Author Share Posted August 10, 2004 Once Norton installs and you run Live update, it installs several updates, is there a way to slipstream that, or does anyone know where these files install to.CheersBod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
