SAV 9 - Symantec AntiVirus 9.0

[mazin]

LU 2.0 (old) -------------- LU 2.5 (new)

LuComServer.exe ----------- LuComServer_2_5.EXE
LuComServerPs.dll --------- LuComServerPS_2_5.DLL
NetDetectController.dll --- NetDetectController_2_5.DLL
ProductRegCOM.dll --------- ProductRegCom_2_5.DLL
ProductRegCOMPs.dll ------- ProductRegComPS_2_5.DLL
X ------------------------- SESA.Settings.LiveUpdate
X ------------------------- unrar.dll
X ------------------------- winluproviderinst.jar
X ------------------------- luinventoryinst.jar
luproviderinst.jar -------- X

This is why the new extracted LU does not work! The MSI doesn't know anything about files in the right column.

X means not found.

OK good, so what's the solution?

[1chaoticadult]

the files not found is the problem because you could always change the name of the first five files you listed. It tried it and it worked up until it didn't know about the files you marked x.

[mazin]

hmmm...

Inside SAV.msi, you rename the first 5 files as they appear in the right column; as drthawhizkid said.

You add the next 4 files on the right to SAV.msi, and delete the last file on the left from it; as mazin says.

Or, easier yet for the sake of sharing, you create a special MSP to patch the AIP with those changes. mazin says, too! : thumbup

That's it! I think this is what Cee-Kay is going to do. You see, Cee-Kay; I'm reading your mind! B)

@Mazin Close enough mate, however I have modifyied the MSI installer so no renaming is required! Just exract and go.

I've not had enough time to finish writing a guide to this yet, but using my new installer should be pretty straightforward.

Give me 10 mins and ill upload it to my web space and then I'll concentrate on finishing my guide.

Ok, I've uploaded the file, which is ready to be downloaded. Please be gentle in reporting bugs.

You can download the installer from here.

Simply double click the SFX archive to extract the MSI installer to the current directory... well you know the rest.

NOTE: This installer is intended for use with the updated client files, version 9.0.0.1400 only, otherwise problems will occur when you try and install using an unpatched version of SAV. (See prathapml's post on the first page for patching instructions).

Installer Change log:

1.0a : Initial Release

1.0b : Changed to correct bug reported by drthawhizkid, please download the latest version.

Bug Reports:

"There was a problem trying to register with Live Update. Live Update will not be available for this product" [Fixed].

Updates:

I been having some problems extracting the lastest definitions from the x86 updates, as far as I can tell this is only a problem on Windows XP SP2. If the x86 version doesn't work for you either, download the i32 version from here.

Extracting the contents from the i32 version, to replace the older definitions included with the Client works fine, without LiveUpdate downloading them again.

@C.K.

I'll check it and report back.

[1chaoticadult]

All right Cee-Kay I test it too.

[mazin]

Who invented the idea of extracting virus definitions? If I only can catch him/her!!!

Unfortunately, I couldn't test Cee-Kay's file due to that problem.

Neither x86 nor i32 works!

[Cee-Kay]

Fortunately, I can get the i32 version to work

However, even when I try to double-click on the x86 version a very quick dialogue box comes up (I've got a screenshot somewhere) which says Windows cannot run 16-bit apps. Now I know for certain that I've never had this problem before, so I'm pretty confident that it's SP2 that's at fault.

[1chaoticadult]

The i32 version worked for me. I extracted it to a seperate directory and moved the files to the virusdefs and it worked fine for me. On a bad note Cee-Kay I tried a silent installation of SAV (using /qb) and I got this error (See Screenshot)

@Cee-Kay

@drthawhizkid

Would you please give me a direct link to i32 you've downloaded?

Thanks.

Sorry about that drthawhizkid, I hoped bugs wouldn't appear so quickly, nevertheless I'll start looking at what's causing this problem.

UPDATE: Hopefully, I've fixed this bug, please download the latest version at the top of this page. Once this bug has been reported as solved, I will update the change log accordingly.

Would you please give me a direct link to i32 you've downloaded?

Sure thing, you can download the i32 version here

[mazin]

Thanks. I haven't seen your updated post above, too.

I'll try again and see.

LOL, symantec themselves.

I saw that info and me and and a few others have been spreading that idea since many months.

The point is that it (when extracted) works perfectly with NAV 200x versions. But the SAV versions have a hiccup. Hoping that all you guys get that process working, and please give details of what you did to solve it.
