XtremeMaC Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Hi I'm trying to install norton system works 2003 standardWell I know I should be using /qn as a switch but then it installs everything on the CD. I don't want the unerase and recycle thing? Is there a tool to choose setup preferences like in office opk tools?Thanks symantec's website has some info about customizing included setup.wis file for some other symantec programs but I don't have the file neither the other programs :/ couldn't find anything on their website heLP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chon_ Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 You'll find setup files on each folder of the suite, so I assume that if you run, let's say \NU\setup.exe wil only install NortonUtilities and so on. Be aware that most of this installations are InstallShield so use the installshield method Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XtremeMaC Posted October 15, 2003 Author Share Posted October 15, 2003 the ones that I don't want are in the NU which is norton utilities. When I choose silent install on it, it makes a full install??I'm assuming it doesn't have any other switches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh_Kay Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 I can't be certain this will work for System Works, but I install Norton AntiVirus 2004 during my Unattended using the following method..I copied the whole contents of the CD to a folder called NAV2004 and placed this folder in \$OEM$\$1\install\Applications.I then call the installer from a batch file (.cmd) that executes during the GUI RUN ONCE section of the setup using the following codeCLS@echo offECHO.ECHO Installing Norton Antivirus 2004ECHO Please wait...start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\NAV2004\navsetup /QBECHO.ECHO Restarting the PC in 1 minute...shutdown.exe -r -f -t 60 -c "Windows XP will now restart in 1 minute"EXITThis method will give you progress boxes, but does not ask for any input from the user and will run it's course and finish on it's own. NOTE after the install finishes, it automatically starts the program and begins the setup and registration process, my work around for this is to install it LAST, then execute the code to reboot the machine as you will see in my code above. The setup and registration screen will appear again once the reboot completes, but the whole install is complete by this time.A similar method may well work for System Works once you establish the name of the executable responsible for the install.Good Luck.
