Microsoft's AntiSpyware (Beta) Install

[Mekrel]

Well the /regserver is deffinalt what you got to do, weird that t sometimes doesnt do it

like i said, i can use both ways of using the destination, then Pushd'ing to the location and doing it.

Yes, you are right the command must be started direct from the MS Antispyware folder unless it is not working.

Im new to posting here, but Ive been following all of your advice and help for a long time, but ive found a way for this to work using the .exe using a combination of methods in here, its actually more of a double install but it seems to work on every machine ive tried it on. (I change the names and paths to make it easy for testing, but im sure you get the point.)

echo.

echo installing microsoft antispyware

start /wait c:\msspy.exe /s /a /s /v"/qb"

start /wait c:\msspy.exe /s /V/qn

the 1st way dosent give a full install and it wont start, the 2nd method only works if it has been previously installed but together they seem to make it happen

start /wait c:\msspy.exe /s /V/qn

Anyone want to summarize what steps work at this point? Looking through the ten pages of posts I am not sure what is still relevant. I would like to use this in my unattended CD.

Thanks

@Mekrel - Your Antispyware installer extracts them to your temp and your tem only... Merkers.bedcomp... Is it possible to make it go to any place? Or can I just run your install.cmd and your msi and delete em myself?

Coz i prefer sticking em to the hard drive 1st then deleting em. Works the same as to temp anyways. Please tell me what to do coz I don't know what to do with all the .ini files!

[Mekrel]

You probably can with 7zip using config.txt but i aint sure how to do that yet.. i will research tonight as I have work in 30 mins untill 9pm tonight.

If not I know Winrar can make a sfx that can do that.

Also coming is the fixed version of the 7zip MS installer. The difference being that theinstall.cmd Pushd's to the microsoft antispyware folder and regservers the exe that way.

[Marnic-Man]

All right thanks. I can see sort of how to do it with winrar.. But i'm not sure which files in your lot are needed for the install? Maybe you can tell me how to extract the original ms install?

EDIT: Ok, it seems I can get it to install fine, just need to know how to extract the newer versions from $MS, that way I can install the newest one when they come out... BTW, thanks heaps for all your help!

[Mekrel]

easy, just run the installer untill you get to the part whenre you need to press next.

Then go to your temp directory by typing this:

"%userprofile%/Local Settings\Temp"

in Start-> Run box.

Make sure you have show hiden files and folders selected in folder options. In one of those folders, you will find microsoft antispyware.msi and the other files.

Copy and paste these to a new location to work with later. Press cancel on the installer and these files will be removed from the temp directory.

Thanks mate, that worked a treat...

HERE is the latest way to install Microsoft AntiSpyware

"%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\MSAnti\Microsoft AntiSpyware.msi" /QN
"%ProgramFiles%/Microsoft AntiSpyware/gcasDtServ.exe" /regserver

That goes into your cmd or WPI - You know what to do to change it to your type of installing method.

Download the latest Spyware remover from microsoft. Open the installer but do not click next etc. Go to run and type in:

"%userprofile%/Local Settings\Temp"

Copy the folder _is25C or something that looks similar(inside it will have the msi for microsoft antispyware).

That goes into your $1/Install/Applications folder. Rename if you wish to MSinstall or similar.

This fixes the 101 error and works fine.

OK....first poster here, and I'm NOT a programmer, but here's what I've done, by following this thread.

I added the following lines to my batch file:

"%logonserver%\netlogon\Microsoft AntiSpyware.msi" /QN

(the file I used was the MSI I got when I ran the original .EXE from MS, and nabbed it from the "%userprofile%/Local Settings\Temp" directory

I also added:

"%ProgramFiles%/Microsoft AntiSpyware/gcasDtServ.exe" /regserver

It installs and works without the dreaded 101 error, but hopefully someone can help me out with one last thing.

The first time it is run, it goes through the Wizard. Anyone know how to provided it answers to the settings in advance, like weather to stay updated, or report to spynet, and run automatically, and all that stuff

Thanks for everything I've learned so far, and thanks in advance for any help.

Hmm, uninstall it. Delete the remaining program files folder for it etc..

then reinstall but before you answer the questions take a registry snap shot using Regsnap. Then answer them and when finished, restart the program.

Take another snapshot. Then see which keys tied to MS antispyware have change. Then add these to a registry file and import it into the registry.

OK OK OK everyone stop complaining I made and compiled an auto-it script for this!!

make sure the downloaded package straight from MS is in the same folder as MSAInstall.exe and all is good!!!!!!

MicrosoftAntiSpywareInstall.exe is how the prog is named from ms and keep it that way.
