I am trying to do a silent install of NAV 9.0 following win XP. I have the following in my sif:

[GuiRunOnce]

%systemdrive%\apps\NAV\SymantecAntiVirus.msi /qn

When first starting the install, windows says there is an error in line applicable to this statement.

As always, your help is appreciated.

I can not be sure if this is correct as I use the runonce method but for the

GuiRunOnce is this not suppose to be a cmd for it.

Example

[GuiRunOnce]Nav_Install.cmd

The Cmd

echo off && Mode 55,3 Color f3 && Title Install Nav && Echo.

Echo Installing Nav Please Wait.

start /wait %systemdrive%\apps\NAV\SymantecAntiVirus.msi /qn

Or If the above is not correct maybe try this

[GuiRunOnce]

start /wait %systemdrive%\apps\NAV\SymantecAntiVirus.msi /qn

msiexec /i "%systemdrive%\apps\NAV\Symantec Antivirus.msi" REBOOT=ReallySuppress RUNLIVEUPDATE=0 ADDLOCAL=SAVMain,SAVUI,SAVHelp,EMailTools,OutlookSnapin,Pop3Smtp,QClient NETWORKTYPE=1 SERVERNAME=AVSERVER ENABLEAUTOPROTECT=1 /qb!

Note that the above is all on one line - stupid word wrap.

You'll need to modify the following fields for your environment:

NETWORKTYPE=1/0, where 1 is managed and 0 is unmanaged (no SAV server on your network)

SERVERNAME=AVSERVER, where AVSERVER is your internal SAV server's NetBIOS name (omit this field if you set networktype=0)

You'll need to add this to a .cmd file that you call from [GuiRunOnce] - you can't call the installation directly because it's an .msi file. Instead, create a .cmd and call THAT from [GuiRunOnce], and place the above command in the .cmd file. That'll work just fine.
