HalogenAndToast Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Alright, I've only tested this out briefly, but I think it will work Input Will Be Appreciated1) First Download the attached file, it is an autoit exe file I have created to answer the EULA McAfee throws at you.2) Next you'll want to find the file VSOVER.INI, scroll to the bottom of it and you should see:[InstallConfig]Welcome="-1"SilentInstall="0"ProductName="VirusScan Professional"RemoveSetupFiles="0"CDRomBuild="1"MISInstall="-1"CreateUninstShortcut="0"change SilentInstall="0" to SilentInstall="1"3) If you're trying this install from the file VSP80EN.EXE then run the program first and wait for the Eula screen, then browse to %user profile%\Local Settings\Temp\vsp8.tmp and copy all of the files out. 4) After this, you should only have to run the attached program for a silent install.mc8.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erik_demon Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 I think i finally found the answer. Just start the installion like you would normaly do, then go to you temp folder C:\Documents and Settings\<Your name>\Local Settings\Temp and copy the folder (in my case: VSH_8_0_NL.tmp) to a place on the harddrive.open the temp folder map which i renamed too mcafee. then open VSOVER.INI and change the silentinstall value from "0" to "1" like the TS showed us in his post.Now create a batch. and use the following commandsECHO.ECHO Installing Mcafee 8ECHO Please wait...start %systemdrive%\install\Applications\mcafee\setup.exetaskkill.exe /F /IM EULA.exeSleep 30taskkill.exe /F /IM mghtml.exeSince I don't use the start /wait command. The install will continu with the next session of this batch file. In order to prefent the installion of 2 applications at the same time, and to prefent the next line in the batch to kill the installation i use the sleep command. The time you use for sleep depends on your computer. If you are creating an unattended disk. don't forget to put sleep.exe in your $OEM$\$$\system32 folder.Good luck!!EDIT: You can only test this once. When the intallation is finisched, setup will delete some files. So if you want to use an unatteded disk, please us a non tested version, or just copy the files in your temp dir againsleep.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radimus Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 this must be for the non corp version...with corp I just use: ECHO Installing McAfee...start /wait "" vse80i\setup.exe REBOOT=r ADDLOCAL=ALL /qb-! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik_demon Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Thanks Radimus ,Your switch also works on a home adition.The only problem is that you still have to deal with the EULA, but that can be easyly done with the methode i mentioned above. Thanks to this reply, we don't need the: taskkill.exe /F /IM mghtml.exe switch anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radimus Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 well, I did have to do a lot of research for this...:vse80i_installguide.pdfInstalling silentlyUse command-line options to set up VirusScan Enterprise software on eachnetwork node with little or no interaction from users. During a silent installation,Setup does not display the installation wizard, or offer the user any configurationoptions. Instead, you pre-configure those choices and run Setup in the backgroundon each destination computer. You can install VirusScan Enterprise software onany unattended computer with or without the user’s knowledge, provided youhave the necessary administrator rights.For example, use the /q option to specify the user interface.Add these options to run a silent or semi-silent installation:Option Functionq or qn Silent installation. Nothing displays during installation.qb Basic user interface. Use qb! to hide the Cancel button.qb+ Basic user interface with a modal dialog box displayed at theend of installation. Use qb+! or qb!+ to hide the Cancelbutton.The modal dialog box is not displayed if the user cancelsthe installation.qb- Basic user interface with no modal dialog boxes. Use qb-! orqb!- to hide the Cancel button.qf Full user interface and any authored FatalError, UserExit, orExit modal dialog displayed at the end of installation.qn+ No user interface except for a modal dialog box displayed at theend of installation.qr Reduced user interface with no modal dialog displayed at theend of installation.... To use these feature names in a command line, specify the destination and thefeature name. You can specify features or use the ALL property to install all ofthe features. For a complete installation, type this line at the command prompt:setup.exe ADDLOCAL=ALL /q Use a comma to separate values when installing more than one feature. To addthe on-demand scanner and the on-access scanner together, type this line at thecommand prompt:setup.exe ADDLOCAL=OnAccessScanner,OnDemandScanner /q To remove all VirusScan Enterprise components, type this line at the commandprompt:setup.exe REMOVE=ALL /q...Setting restart optionsYou can force a restart if one is required, or prevent the destination computer fromrestarting during the installation. To do this, add the REBOOT property to thecommand line: REBOOT=F forces the restart if one is required. REBOOT=R prevents the restart.To run a silent installation and prevent a system restart:setup REBOOT=R /q... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
