RyanVM Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Yea but the directory is not there like it used to be and you would have edit the msi if you just wanted lsetup.exe or lusetup.exe in the liveupdate directory without the other files....or you could just repack it as a WinRAR self extractor and rename it to lsetup.exeThen you can delete the other files in that directory as well. Of course, the point is moot now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a06lp Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 (edited) Ok, here it is, step-by-step:Getting Files Ready:Localize installation dir & create admin install point:(Run this code as whatever.cmd in your source directory)start /wait setup.exe /A /V"/QB TARGETDIR=%systemdrive%\SAV"Update Virus Definitions:Replace the "program files\Symantec AntiVirus\Virus Defs" with the new downloaded version from:http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcen...ges/US-N95.htmlUpdate LiveUpdate:Replacing "program files\Symantec AntiVirus\lusetup.exe " with the version downloadable here:ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_...ate/lusetup.exeInstalling Unattended:Run the following code (edited to reflect you path):"%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\SAV\Symantec AntiVirus.msi" /QB RUNLIVEUPDATE=0 REBOOT=ReallySuppress Edited January 30, 2005 by a06lp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiMoNsAyS Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 @a06lp, the admin install point doesn't work like that download and extract the contents of the installation. locate the .msi installer file...msiexec.exe /a "path\file.msi"after created the admin setup, replace lusetup.exe and replace virus definitions.then repack everything and launch the new setup using /qn or /qb switches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a06lp Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 (edited) i must be doing something different then? maybe a different method? (i sort of followed this guide)i ran the code i have above, and it created a folder (C:\SAV) full of stuff... (folders: common, external, program files, redist, system32, windows; and file: Symantec AntiVirus.msi)i was able to replace the virusdefs (the same way i wrote above).i just dont know how to update liveupdate...can you help? do I ONLY replace "program files\Symantec AntiVirus\lusetup.exe" with "lusetup.exe" which I downloaded? Also, is there a way to check which LiveUpdate version is installed? (to confirm it did work?)ps, i updated my above "guide" a littlepps - after running your code, i see it does the extact same thing that the code i have does (only mine puts it neatly into %systemdrive%\SAV) Edited January 30, 2005 by a06lp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiMoNsAyS Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 i see, i think what you are doing is sending the admin setup command throught the .exe file that is ok so you now got your folder full of stuff and you've replaced virus definitions. now you just need to search for lusetup.exe and replace it with the updated one you downloaded. 1chaoticadult, told me to look on "pathtoadminpoint\program files\symantec antivirus".now you just need to launch the installation like "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\SAV\Symantec AntiVirus.msi" /QBthat is enough for me. no need of RUNLIVEUPDATE=0 REBOOT=ReallySuppress switches.finally you can re-pack everything to save space but that is just a suggestion.

a06lp Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 ok, just one last point:my "program files\Symantec AntiVirus\lusetup.exe" is: 3,888 KBwhile the "lusetup.exe" which i downloaded is: 2,614 KBis this correct? the newer version is replacing a larger older version?Also, is there a way to check which LiveUpdate version is installed? (to confirm it did work?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiMoNsAyS Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 is this correct? the newer version is replacing a larger older version?Also, is there a way to check which LiveUpdate version is installed? (to confirm it did work?)yes, correct. that is because the setup you downloaded is compressed.yes, the left bitmap of the updated live-update (lol), shows a yellow marble with a black anthem.this is the easy visual proof, different from the older one.

a06lp Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 ok, everything worked perfectly.SAV 9.0.3.1000 installed, updated defs, and liveupdate is v2.6 (anyone who wants to know, you can check the version by looking at "LiveUpdate" in Add/Remove programs - it shows the version number)updated my "guide" to reflect all of this: Guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bâshrat the Sneaky Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Hey, thanks to all I guess I'll move to SAV Corporate again...
