jorsak Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Since so many have been helpful to me, I wanted to give back what I could to the community.After installing ad-aware, the help file and update automatically run. I could not find anywhere the switches to disable these, so I managed a work around. If this can save someone else time, wonderfull!.First, download the utility pskill (freeware) from the following:http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/pskill.shtmlThen put the pskill.exe in whatever folder you are running your install from (for me it was the "TCGDiagnosticsApps" folder. The commands look like this:ECHO.ECHO Installing Ad-Aware SE Personal 1.05 ECHO Please wait...start /wait %systemdrive%\TCGDiagnosticsApps\aawsepersonal.exe /SILENTstart /wait %systemdrive%\TCGDiagnosticsApps\pskill.exe hh.exestart /wait %systemdrive%\TCGDiagnosticsApps\pskill.exe ad-aware.exeThe end result is a completely silent install of ad-aware. Hope this helps someone.:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totoymola Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Yeah. That is correct. Unless you are using Windows XP Home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorsak Posted October 24, 2004 Author Share Posted October 24, 2004 Exactly! I also needed something a little more generically viable since I will be using this in many environment as part of an install process for a bunch of different diagnostics apps.PSKill works on NT3.5, NT4.0, 2K, and all flavors of XP. Which, in my humble, and very limited knowledge, is a better situation than Taskkill allows for.But thanks for the script info for task Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorsak Posted October 24, 2004 Author Share Posted October 24, 2004 As a side note, does anyone know of a good utility for killing processes in 9x? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorsak Posted October 24, 2004 Author Share Posted October 24, 2004 Found a new (freeware) Process killing application that is compatible with: Win9X, WinME, NT, 2000 and XP. It's called Procrecon. It can be found at:http://www.webchitect.com/ProcRecon/download.htmlUsing it, the above example of ad-aware's help menu and application termination afte r asilent install would like like:ECHO.ECHO Installing Ad-Aware SE Personal 1.05 ECHO Please wait...start /wait %systemdrive%\X\aawsepersonal.exe /SILENTstart /wait %systemdrive%\X\ProcRecon.exe /t "Ad-Aware SE Personal"start /wait %systemdrive%\X\ProcRecon.exe /t "Ad-Aware SE Personal edition"X = the location of your install script.

mazin Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Doesn't this release need a serial to be entered at installation time like the Pro version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorsak Posted October 24, 2004 Author Share Posted October 24, 2004 Nope. The SE personal 1.5 version is the free version you can get from anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totoymola Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 Even the pro version doesn't requires a serial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nologic Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 Well some thing that could be done is to edit my pro build I just released to work with the PE version.[link]Just post it to that thread once done...and don't forget to tag your nick in as author Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorsak Posted October 25, 2004 Author Share Posted October 25, 2004 Guys, do you happen to know how to default the Ad-aware program to NOT automatically run the helpfile, update, and system scan after install?I'm using my program/script to kill these apps after the install but it's a pain and creates extra work that shouldn't have to be there.IF anyone knows a way to have them turned off by default that would be a GREAT help.
