AvPersonal, problem with latest version.

[Arablover]

I have been installing AvPersonal using the following entry in my main.batch:

ECHO Installing AV Personal...

start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Antivir\setup.exe /INF%systemdrive%\install\Antivir\setup.inf /PATH%systemdrive%\install\Antivir\

ECHO.

Here are the contents of setup.inf:

;********************************************************************

; Setup using AntiVir script file

;

; Sample script file

;

; To force Setup doing its job without any user interaction you have

; to start it with the option /INF<name>.

; with <name> being the full qualified path of the script file.

;

; Example: SETUP /INFe:\disks\setup.inf

Previously it installed unattended, but it now runs through the usual installation routine.

Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Cheers.

Hi,

the problem is, freeav has used a old version of "setup.exe" (6.26.0.11)

you must use a version 6.27.0.46 or higher,

if you have a version from september 2004 you only must change the "setup.exe"

from 6.28 with the "setup.exe" from 6.27

for me it works fine.

sorry for my bad english

Brilliant!

I wonder why they changed the setup.exe?

Cheers.

Thanks, tried it with the 6.27.0.46 setup.exe and it almost did it, the only problem I have now is when the Program Group is created, it opens and displays on the desktop, (using runonce.ex at logon), and I would like it to either not appear in the first place, or close down on its own.....anyone, TIA.
