Shortcuts and NAV2004?

[Bouchehog]

My apologes if this has already be covered, I did do a search.

Question 1

Is there any way to create shortcuts for a program? I have a couple of programs that only need copying over, but I'd like to stick a shortcut in the start menu.

ECHO.

ECHO Installing XP-AntiSpy v3.8

ECHO ______________________________________________________________

MKDIR "%systemdrive%\Program Files\XP-AntiSpy 3.8"

COPY "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\XPAntispy\xp-AntiSpy 3.8.exe" "%systemdrive%\Program Files\XP-AntiSpy 3.8"

ECHO ______________________________________________________________

Question 2

Also, does anyone know how I can get Norton Anti-virus professional to run from my install cd as the last thing? I know that there are several threads on this already, but I don't want to register it, just to start the installer as the last thing and run it manually. The following script doesn't work though. It says that I have to go through setup. (Presumably I could still copy over the latest definitions before the install though)

ECHO.

ECHO Installing Norton Antivirus 2004

ECHO Please wait...

start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\NAV2004\NAV.msi /QB

ECHO.

ECHO Updating Symantec Antivirus Virus Definitions (August 16, 2004)...

ECHO Please wait...

ECHO ______________________________________________________________

COPY "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\NAVDefinitions\" "%systemdrive%\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\VirusDefs\incoming\"

ECHO ______________________________________________________________

Question 3

Is there any way that I can alter the file associations automatically?

All help greatly appreciated!

Save this script as xp-AntiSpy.js, then execute it anytime and anywhere. Safely, you can delete lines in blue.

Shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");

Location = Shell.SpecialFolders("Programs");

link = Shell.CreateShortcut(Location + "\\xp-AntiSpy.lnk");

link.Description = "xp-AntiSpy 3.8";

link.HotKey = "CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+X";

link.TargetPath = "%systemdrive%\\Program Files\\XP-AntiSpy 3.8\\xp-AntiSpy 3.8.exe";

link.WindowStyle = 3;

link.WorkingDirectory = "%systemdrive%\\Program Files\\XP-AntiSpy 3.8";

link.Save();

The script will create this shortcut:

C:\Documents and Settings\CurrentUser\Start Menu\Programs\xp-AntiSpy.lnk

If you want the shortcut to be in Start menu itself, replace Programs with StartMenu.

Oh, and for NAV, you should use NAVSETUP.exe not NAV.msi!
