Radimus Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 I saw the links for the Avast Pro edition, any love for the Home edition... or perhaps an AutoIt script or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stebro Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 Hi Radimus,If your happy to go the Autoit route here is a script, works OK with Avast Home Edition version 4.5.549CheersSteBroInstallAvast.au3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radimus Posted December 3, 2004 Author Share Posted December 3, 2004 I needed to modify a few lines, but it worked fine. thanksI did use Aut2Exe to exe the script... and I may wrap it in a rar self-extractor.. but that isn't really necessary...Run("setupeng.exe")WinWait("avast! Antivirus Setup", "Welcome to the avast! Setup program")Send("{Enter}")WinWait("avast! Antivirus Setup", "avast! 4.5 Home/Professional Edition")Send("{Enter}")WinWait("avast! Antivirus Setup", "END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT")... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benners Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 You could try downloading the pro trial version and make a silent installation (under file on the enhanced user interface), then, when the two files are created, in the admin.ini where it says Serial, put your home edition key Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucketbuster Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 You could try downloading the pro trial version and make a silent installation (under file on the enhanced user interface), then, when the two files are created, in the admin.ini where it says Serial, put your home edition keyThis method works fine.Avast is installed with my favourite settings and also my Home Edition key.Avast is also loaded at startup, BUT the systray icon isn't visible!I only tested in VMWare, so maybe that is the problem.Anyone knows how to get the avast systray icon back?EDIT:Never mind I looked into admin.ini and found this line:ShowTrayIcon=1 which should be ShowTrayIcon=0 to make the icon visible. EDIT2:I don't know why or how, but now ShowTrayIcon=1 makes the icon visible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
