Is there any way of doing a silent install with mcafee 9.0?

Thanks,

I posted an AutoIT script for this here

Sorry should have made myself more clear, want to do a silent install over a network.

In that case it will be harder.

Mcafee works with the /S switch but there are two problems

1. The EULA

2. A Finish screen

Now I haven't tested this but I think you can make a batch like this:

cmdow @ /HID
@echo off

start D:\mcafee\setup.exe /S
Sleep 5
taskkill /IM EULA.exe /F
Sleep 60
taskkill /IM setup.exe /F

D = here the path to your network share

download AutoIT V3.1.1 here

Then use it to convert the .AU3 file to an .EXE file

Thanks, will give it a try and let you know if it worked.

This AutoIt script is written for an english version of mcafee

If you use a different version, please change the script.

i'm going to do installs on computers as slow as a P2 with 128MB RAM.

what do you recommend for reliable sleep timings??? (i'm guessing to double the amounts below?)

EDIT:

nevermind. it's easier to just copy the silent install files from the cd.
