Microsoft's AntiSpyware (Beta) Install

[MikeO]

With RunOnceEx this works for me:

REG ADD %KEY%\035 /VE /D "Installing Microsoft Anti-Spyware" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\035 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\AntiSpyware\AntiSpyware.msi /quiet /qn" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\035 /V 2 /D "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft AntiSpyware\gcasDtServ.exe /regserver" /f

Thanx r_e_endymion

With RunOnceEx this works for me:

REG ADD %KEY%\035 /V 2 /D "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft AntiSpyware\gcasDtServ.exe /regserver" /f

Thanx r_e_endymion

I put exactly the same code on my RunOnceEx.cmd file and i receiver this error: "Windows cannot find 'C:\Program'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search.".

Microsoft AntiSpyware is installed in "Program Files" directory. What i'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

You need to include the quotes correctly, thats why it looks fro C:\Programs

My code which works:

REG ADD %KEY%\080 /VE /D "MicroSoft AntiSpyware Beta 1" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\080 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\Msanti\MsAnti.exe /s" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\080 /V 2 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\Msanti\MicrosoftAntiSpyware.msi /qb-! REBOOT=ReallySuppress" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\080 /V 3 /D "\"%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft AntiSpyware\gcasDtServ.exe\" /regserver" /f

The .exe is a self extracting archieve.

It's working, thanks for your help!

try it like this:

"MicrosoftAntiSpywareInstall.exe /s /V/qn"

YES, there must be _NO_ SPACE between "/V" and "/qn".

...and the /V - Parameter is case-sensitive! Must be UPCASE!

works perfekt for the newest version (1.0.501)

No it does'nt. When i install it to a clean pc. (antispyware not installed before) it gives an error 101. and it doesn't work.

Anyone has a solution?

Run the MicrosoftAntiSpywareInstall.exe and grab the following files from the temp folder.

0x0409.ini, _ISMSIDEL.INI, Microsoft AntiSpyware.msi, Setup.bmp, Setup.INI

I copied them to the C:\AntiSpyware folder.

Create an admin install.

msiexec /a "C:\AntiSpyware\Microsoft AntiSpyware.msi" TARGETDIR="C:\AntiSpywareAdmin" /q

To install open a command prompt and cd to the C:\AntiSpywareAdmin folder. Then use the following command.

msiexec.exe /i "Microsoft AntiSpyware.msi" REBOOT=REALLYSUPRESS /qr

This worked for me although in some cases I had to reboot the system after installing before it did. This also results in a large 18MB install but it can be compressed down to a 4.5MB executable file using 7zip.

I add each program to it's own file folder and I added this to the runonceex.cmd file. I do not extract this exe file either...it works as it is.

REG ADD %KEY%\040 /VE /D "Microsoft Anti-Spyware" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\MSAntiSpy\MSAntiSpyware.exe /v/qn" /f

As mentioned above there cannot be a space between the /v and /qn but the V is not case sensitive. Mine works everytime with the lowercase v. Copy and paste my code and edit it as needed and I am sure it will work.

This method actually works on my machine( I installed before, and i uninstalled it). but it doesn't work on a non installed pc.

"Not a valid Win32 application" ...

This doesn't work. Gives the same 101 reinstall message. Anyone pls install this on a non MSspyware installed machine before. Or am i wrong?

[Methanoid]

Does someone have a REALLY working MS AntiSpyware set of files and matching RunOnceEx.cmd text?

I've tried all suggested here and extracted MSI files from the original EXE and I am beggining to wonder if we have different original EXE files cos it does NOT work silently!!!

This one halts my whole unatttended DVD and I hate the bugger!!!

I just installed on a clean machine. Ran setup, then grabbed the .msi and other files found in local/temp and placed them in a new folder. Then ran the .msi with the /qb /norestart switches. Sure enough, the infamous 101 error appeared...but...then I ran the following from Start-->Run and all went well:

"%systemdrive%\Program Files\Microsoft AntiSpyware\gcasDtServ.exe" -Embedding

The program fired up nicely. So, first install using the .msi and standard Windows Installer switches, then run gcastDtServ.exe with the "-Embedding" switch and it should work. There's some scuttlebutt on the Web stating that the "embedding" command needs to be run at each restart, but I found that not to be the case. Everything is working fine after multiple reboots. Haven't integrated this into my disc yet but probably will.
