Microsoft's AntiSpyware (Beta) Install

[98EXL]

\REG ADD %KEY%\022 /VE /D "Microsoft Anti-Spyware" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\022 /V 1 /D "%PP%MSAntiSpyware\MicrosoftAntiSpywareInstall.msi /quiet /qn" /f

that worked fine for me after all

Thanks for the install info, but after scanning with adaware and spybot, it came up with 5 results, all false positives.

[viol8r]

I tried this in my batch_file

start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\MSAntispy\MicrosoftAntiSpywareInstall.exe /s /a /s /v"/qb" REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESS

Didn't get an error, but it didn't install.

I'll try the

REG ADD %KEY%\022 /VE /D "Microsoft Anti-Spyware" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\022 /V 1 /D "%PP%MSAntiSpyware\MicrosoftAntiSpywareInstall.msi /quiet /qn" /f

in my runonce and see what happens.

[viol8r]

Yeah, I got a little ahead of myself there, can't do anything with an .MSI I don't have.

I did find this site which may be of use to someone smarter than I, that shouldn't take much.

MS Antispyware unattended installation scripts

[Frank_Sechrist]

The /quiet /qn switches with the msi file do not work. I tested on a clean XP install and received the same error as before when starting the program.

[Guest r_e_endymion]

i've had the same problem and after some analysis i've found that after the unattended install you must call gcasDtServ.exe /regserver

example:

start /wait AntiSpyware.msi /qn REBOOT=ReallySuppress ALLUSERS=1 INSTALLDIR=%ProgramFiles%\Tools\Security\AntiSpy

start /wait %ProgramFiles%\Tools\Security\AntiSpy\gcasDtServ.exe /regserver

now, it works great for me! :-)

[Frank_Sechrist]

Running gcasDtServ.exe /regserver after the silent install works for me!

Thanks r_e_endymion!!

[mickmack]

and what is the command line for RunOnceEx installation from CD with default install directory?

[viol8r]

I got it to work in my batch_file using the following;

ECHO Please wait...
start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\MSAntispy\MicrosoftAntiSpywareInstall.exe /s /a /s /v"/qb"
ECHO Please wait...
start /wait %systemdrive%\"Microsoft AntiSpyware.msi" /quiet

Note: If I remember correctly, I removed a space or two in the original file name MicrosoftAntiSpywareInstall.exe so I didn't have to use " "s.

[mickmack]

great work! it works for me like this

REG ADD %KEY%\022 /VE /D "Microsoft Antispyware" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\022 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\internet\mantispy.exe /s /a /s /v"/qb" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\022 /V 2 /D "%CDROM%\Software\internet\antispy.msi /quiet" /f

thank you! r_e_endymion

[Mekrel]

huh, you two are using the exe and the msi , although that works it would mean having a bigger install directory, your doing different to r_e_endymion's install.

[TeT_TaT]

mickmack

what is that file

mantispy.exe

is it something with Microsoft's AntiSpyware

or what

cos i wanna use runonceEx

[maxXPsoft]

I got error 101 when I silent installed straight up the exe so I ran and copied the dir from temp

[AntiSpyware_MS]
REM     NOTES: http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx
REM     NOTES: Run to first screen and copy all files over from Temp Dir.
REG ADD %KEY%\iAdd /VE /D "Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\iAdd /V Inum /D "msiexec.exe /I %SystemDrive%\Install\AntiSpyware_MS\AntiSpyware.msi /qn" /f

You can then track everything with InstallWatch Pro and get rhe REG settings

[mickmack]

TeT_TaT: it's renamed Microsoft Antispyware. by using exe, and than .msi program goes automatically to the tray and starts protecting the PC.

[mickmack]

maybe it is possible to import this registry key, and than it should work

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]

"gcasServ"="\"C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft AntiSpyware\\gcasServ.exe\""
