Microsoft's AntiSpyware (Beta) Install

[blinkdt]

OK, I now have Microsoft AntiSpyware integrated into my install disc and all is working well. I use WPI these days, not RunOnceEx, but I'm sure this could be adapted to work with any install routine:

1. WPI entry. The .msi file has been renamed, obviously.

pn=33
prog[pn]=['Microsoft AntiSpyware']
desc[pn]=['An excellent antispyware program.']
cmd1[pn]=['%cdrom%\\Programs\\MSantispy\\antispy.msi /qn /norestart']
cmd2[pn]=['%cdrom%\\Programs\\MSantispy\\MSrun.exe']
dflt[pn]=['yes']
forc[pn]=['false']
cat[pn]=['Utilities']
ordr[pn]=[330]
uid[pn]=['']
deps[pn]=['']
pn++

2. MSrun.exe is a compiled AutoIt script:

AutoItSetOption("TrayIconHide", 1)
AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 4)
BlockInput(1)

Run( @ScriptDir & "\MSrun.cmd", "", @SW_HIDE)
Sleep(1500)
ProcessClose("cmd.exe")
Sleep(2000)

exit

3. MSrun.cmd does the job of firing up the AntiSpyware program properly before the command window is forcibly closed.

@echo off

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

CLS
EXIT

Hey everyone, I made a 7-Zip installer for you

EDIT: My webhost doesnt like .exe by the looks as it says it cant find the file, although the link to the file is correct

Your exe works if you run the emmbed afterwards. However it halts my WPI during an unattended.

By Works I mean if I just run the exe from a fresh computer and the Strat->run->.....-embed

prog[pn]=['Microsoft Antispyware']
desc[pn]=['Anti Spyware']
cmd1[pn]=['%CDROM%\\install\\MSA.exe']
cmd2[pn]=['"%systemdrive%\\Program Files\\Microsoft AntiSpyware\\gcasDtServ.exe" -Embedding']
cat[pn]=['Security']
pn++

It doesnt crash the install. Just sits there not doing anything after it pops up saying virus defs have been updated.

[Mekrel]

Why are you running the -embedding thing?

The switchless installer registers gcasDtServe.exe which is all that needs to happen. My install works perfectly fine.

[solohelp]

When I run just the installer you made on a clean computer I get the 101 error. If I then run the embed it works fine from then on.

The issue with the WPI is probably not an issue.

I didnt know that runonce would continue after a reboot. I just ended the task which seemed to be waitng for something and rebooted and it continued the silent installs.

When It finishes I'll see if MSanti works.

So If it does work I could just add a reboot command to the WPI script

prog[pn]=['Microsoft Antispyware']

desc[pn]=['Anti Spyware']

cmd1[pn]=['%CDROM%\\install\\MSA.exe']

cmd2[pn]=['"%systemdrive%\\Program Files\\Microsoft AntiSpyware\\gcasDtServ.exe" -Embedding']

cmd3[pn]=['"REBOOT HERE"

cat[pn]=['Security']

pn++

[solohelp]

After Reboot and completion of WPI installations.

Everything works. MSAnti spy is in the system tray and already monitoring changes.

So your installer works for me, although it doesnt seem to be doing the embedding?

Or is my WPI script messed up?

So what is the reboot command for WPI?

[Mekrel]

wait, your right. Thats certainly weird but i know what the problem is.

Let me update the post. Sorry about the mess.

Using your modified .exe after install i get the dreaded error 101. Something is not right with it just to let you know.

[solohelp]

wait, your right. Thats certainly weird but i know what the problem is.

Let me update the post. Sorry about the mess.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I know I'm right.

So whats the problem? How can we fix it. I'm in a testing with VMWare mood, so lets roll.

[solohelp]

Wait which post did you update? I just reread them all. Did you upload a new exe?
