Has anyone figured out how to install AVG with the updated virus definitions?

@flattspott
pls keep updating ur topic.so that new commers can get their work done with our browsing the whole thread.

Just a quick one guys anyone give us an idea to remove the desktop link to AVG free after UA on fresh install. Its in the sys tray & don't really want it on the desktop as well?

Hi!

You could try issuing the following command:

DEL "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\AVG Free.lnk"

Or whatever your version's desktop link is called. You can either put it in your cleanup.cmd file if you have one or run it from RunOnceEx after installing if you are using that. For example:

REG ADD %KEY%\036 /VE /D "AVG Antivirus Free V7.0" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\036 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\AVG\setup.exe /HIDE /DONT_START_APPS /NO_WELCOME /NO_AVGW_STARTUP /QUIT_IF_INSTALLED" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\036 /V 2 /D "DEL "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\AVG Free.lnk" /f

~SIMON~

Hmmm! Just tried it and it works!

Now, how do I put it back again hehehehe!!

~SIMON~

Thanks man

Think I should get my syntax right before I post again in future (LOL)! The correct line should read:

REG ADD %KEY%\036 /V 2 /D "DEL \"%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\AVG Free.lnk\"" /f

Forgot back slashes for registry entry quotes!

Someone tell me if I got it wrong again!

~SIMON~

Found it much cleaner to keep this out of the RunonceEx.cmd & put it straight into the cleanup.cmd .

*bump*

Does anyone know how to do this?

Hi All :-)

Sorry to interrupt, but....


WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU ALL TALKING ABOUT ?


What is a "silent install" and what are you trying to do with AVG (which is a wicked program BTW...)?


Thanx...

Silent install is simply installing without user interaction. Its typically used by system admins to deliver custom settings.

My question is:

is there a method for silent uninstall of AVG?
I already tried 'setup /HIDE /UNINSTALL' but it still gives flashes up with.."do you wish to continue". Can I give it an uninstall config file to automagically uninstall?

Thanks

I think I awnsered my own question already: :thumbup

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run ("setup.exe /UNINSTALL")
WScript.Sleep 3000
WshShell.SendKeys "~"
WScript.Sleep 3000
WshShell.SendKeys "~"

seems to work. Its a bit dirty as I don't really need the getout clause.

Hi,
I've already made AVG 7 Free silent install. Now I'm trying to make update to installed AVG.
I've got some ideas, but thing I need some help
1st, looking at installed and updated AVG folder - that is %systemdrive%\Program Files\Grisoft\AVG Free" I noticed many files (dll's and exe's mostly) that had been changed since instalation. I've isolated this files and made 7zip self extracting archive with them. File is called AVGupd.exe, it's about 12MB big (it would be smaller if my AVG build were newer).
I call this exe from runoonceex key, like this:
REG ADD %KEY%\020 /v 2 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\AVG\avgupd.exe -o\"%systemdrive%\Program Files\Grisoft\AVG Free\" -y" /f
Please notice that "2" between \020 and \D - it's because AVG instalation is already ended (under "1" of \020).
Here starts my problems - even when extracting with -y switch I get errors like "can not delete output file C:\Program Files\Grisoft\AVG Free\avgamint.dll"
I tried to stop manualy AVG Control Centar, stop manualy 2 AVG services and delete, from cmd file, all files that should be replaced in AVG folder.
I get access denied errors on some files.
So, if someone has an idea how to force file replacment in AVG folder please, enlight me...

Idea no. 2)
If you extract avg setup files, you will notice that probably most files are packed inside the bigest file out there - "files.dat"
If we could repack this file with new file versions that would be great, something like "updated from the box".
Is there any way to open that file? Resource Hacker does not open .dat files.

My first post but like to start by saying that through the forum i've created a complete unattended xpsp2 cd with all updates/patches and most apps. thanks to all concerned

on to the request.....

anyone really managed to get the AVG update to install along with or immediately after the client.

any help appreciated guys

anyone at all had any juy getting avg to upgrade either during the install or post the install...

i'm sure someone must've cracke d it

any help apprecaited

I'd just like to pop in and also ask the Unattended collective how this can be done, apart from setting up a local web server to serve the patches to avginetl.exe (from the admin pack.) Passing a local URL simply returns a CONNECT_ERR 10061.

Ditto - would love to know how this can be achieved for AVG Free, I have even emailed AVG for some guidelines, but they have said they only supply support for their "purchased" products not free.

hi...i'm installing avg 7.0 with this command line:
avg70f_323a539.exe" /DONT_START_APPS /NO_WELCOME /NO_AVGW_STARTUP /QUIT_IF_INSTALLED /LICNO=myserial

i've also tried with /SERNO=myserial

both with and without double quotes

nothing to do...the options SERNO and LICNO are not recognized.

Any hint how to get the serial working?
Even a regkey would be fine, thanks!
