Norton Antivirus 2006

[Yungsters]

Has anyone accomplished a silent installation of Norton Antivirus 2006, yet? I'm planning to use the same method outlined here for Norton Antivirus 2005 as soon as my VM is done reformatting with my latest "build" -- CD image, but build sounds cooler. However, if anyone already knows anything about it not working, please let me know!

I use this switch: /qn /noreboot REBOOT=ReallySuppress

Afterwards i just add the cdkey manually. I dont know if this what was you wanted.

It looks like we're using the same switches to install silently, but I'm also trying to activate the product. I tried to apply the activation settings from my current computer to the installation on my VM, but once Windows XP starts up, I get an error: something about a configuration wizard is currently active.

I'll probably just activate the product by hand. However, I noticed you said you input your serial key by hand. Even when I install my copy manually, I don't have to put that in; it's already typed in for me. By the way, I bought the downloaded package (instead of CD), so maybe that's why.

Too bad... bottom line: same install instructions found in this topic don't work.

I dont know how to add the cd-key but if u figure it out id be glad if you culd post the solution.

REGEDIT /S "%CDROM%\Software\nortonreg\norton.reg" /f
NortonAntivirus\symlcrst.sfx.exe" /f
NortonAntivirus\NAVSETUP.EXE /O REBOOT=ReallySuppress /QB" /f

This is how it works.

Reg file looks like this :

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\CCPD-LC\KStore\00000082\0000001e\0000004a]
"Key"="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"

And the symlcrst.sfx.exe :

Uninstall NortonAntivirus 2006 (Yes uninstall , otherwise you cant copy the dll) ,then go to : C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\CCPD-LC

Copy the symlcrst.dll , make a SFX of it with the following :

Path=C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\CCPD-LC
SavePath
Silent=1
Overwrite=1

First run the reg , then the SFX , then Norton.

Have fun

Thanks muiz! I thought I tried something similar to that already, except I used ProcessExplorer to release 'symlcrst.dll' and I didn't have the '/O' switch. May I ask what the '/O' switch does? In any case, I'll try that out tomorrow and see how it goes.

Path=C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\CCPD-LC

Can I copy the file using a 'copyfile.cmd' instead? Would it make a difference, as long as the file ended up where it's supposed to?

[muiz]

Dont know about the /O , and about the file... i guess it doesnt matter

so whats the conclusion.. this works or not????

so whats the conclusion.. this works or not????

I just tested it on a friend's computer, and I was not able to get it to work. The first time, my installation hung during Norton's install, so I redid it and got it to install, but I got the same problem as last time. Last time being: I start Windows, and I don't see Norton in the system tray, which is already a bad sign. I try to start it up and I get a message saying the Configuration Wizard is already running [and nothing happens, no Norton window starts up].

Unfortunate, but I guess this will be another one of the installation files I place for the CD to copy over to the machine so I can manually install it. I've spent too much time on this one program as it is Maybe I would've saved more time installing it manually, heh heh.

thanks Yungsters...

[muiz]

Maybe you can tell us first how you did it.

Cause it works like a charm here , maybe somewhere something went wrong ?
