I manged to get Zonealarm Security Suite to work in silent mode, but it tends to show a error message (distorting my unattended installation)

This is the error Message.

Could not find config file C:\Documents.

I assume its trying to locate C:\Documents and Settings\...

but I am unsure as to what the config file is or looks like.

Please help

how does your command look like?

maybe you can post it here?

%CDROM%\wihu\Software\zaSuiteSetup_61_737_000_en.exe /s

This command makes it install completely, but a error message pops up disrupting my unattended installation.

"%CDROM%\Software\zonealarm\zapSetup.exe /s /i /noreboot /lickey xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx %CDROM%\Software\zonealarm\yourconfig.xml" /f

Tried it. Doesn't work. I still get the same error message.

Can someone make a AutoIT Script or something?

Thanks :-)

"%CDROM%\Software\zonealarm\zapSetup.exe /s /i /noreboot /lickey xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx %CDROM%\Software\zonealarm\yourconfig.xml" /f

Could you please provide some more information on the yourconfig.xml file ?

I am trying to auto-install ZoneAlarm to a different than the default folder and I'd like the shortcuts in another folder, as well...

TIA,

Its already posted before... but ok..

in windows , open zonealarm go to the overview tab , and preferences.

hit the backup button under "backup and restore security settings"

Use that as your config , you might configure your zonealarm settings before you backup.

"%CDROM%\Software\zonealarm\zapSetup.exe /s /i /noreboot /lickey xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx %CDROM%\Software\zonealarm\yourconfig.xml" /f

Use like this... have fun

Couldn't tell if this was resolved for sure...

anyway, I use the free version... but I was thinking that since most program's store the registration key in the registry you could prolly capture the registration info as its written to the registry and put it in a reg file using RegShot (etc). Then call the registration file through your script.. I've gotten a few stubborn apps to install silently this way without even needing AutoIt.

Here is an example that should work from any folder as long as it contains

the CMD file itself, the installer, and "registration.reg"

<edit> Just tried a similar script directly from cd (w/o copying files to HDD) and didn't work during ua install... but I think its just how I set up my scripts - i.e. using a reg file to enter license keys *should* still work

<edit 2> I think the reason it didn't work last time was I forgot to add (escaped) quote from RunOnceEx when adding the path to silent_install.cmd ie (should be "\"%pathto%\silent_install.exe\"" /f rather than "%pathto%\silent_install.exe" /f ) since I forgot to take the spaces outta my path...

: Sets "thisdir" to directory that .cmd is in
SET thisdir=%~d0%~p0

:Adding Registration Info to the Registry
IF EXIST "%thisdir%\registration.reg" (START /WAIT REGEDIT /S "%thisdir%\registration.reg")

: Installing Silently (using Free version for the example)
IF EXIST "%thisdir%zlsSetup_61_744_000_en.exe" (START /D"%thisdir%" /WAIT zlsSetup_61_744_000_en.exe /S /noreboot)

Having the same problems as the OP, getting that error message using either the switches or using an AutoIT script.

I wouldn't post unless I wasn't having any joy as I usually get the answer from a search, and i've managed to get the rest of my unattended install working fine that way. Its just ZoneAlarm giving me gip now

I'm talking about the free ZoneAlarm, and I downloaded whichever version is current as of today.

This is my current switch:

zlsetup.exe /s /i /noreboot

I have also created and AutoIT script and tried that but I still get the error.

If there's no way around it then i'll just dump the .exe to C:\ and then perform a manual install once everything else has finished.
