Member Group: Members Posts: 138 Joined: 26-November 05 From: Belgium, Ghent Member No.: 80797	I'm having a strange problem when installing AVG Free. It doesn't get installed. I did a logged install, maybe somebody can help me. (see attachment). It works when installing attended (same time) or directly after my software installation (without a reboot). BTW, I'm using XPlode to install my software, could that be something ? also, I run the installation at first login (not directly after the boot, but I go to the instalaltion folder myself) EDIT: Tested it after a reboot by running XPlode and installing AVG only, that works! Will test some other stuff later. nvm, everything works now, this is what I have to do: Install XP, let XP (automatically) boot, then reboot, and then running my unattended installation This post has been edited by Jeroeneke: Jun 16 2006, 10:10 AM Attached File(s) AVG7INST.txt ( 3.37K ) Number of downloads: 92

Somewhat Knowledgeable Group: Supreme Sponsors Posts: 580 Joined: 30-September 03 From: Fox Valley, WI Member No.: 7533 OS: Vista Business x64	I've noticed that I need to run update several times to fully update AVG Free, installing priority updates and optional updates along the way. So I modified my earlier AutoIt script to loop through the update process until complete: CODE ;-----install AVG Free RunWait(@ScriptDir & '\avg75free_428a818.exe /HIDE /DONT_START_APPS /NO_WELCOME /NO_AVGW_STARTUP /QUIT_IF_INSTALLED') FileDelete(@DesktopCommonDir & '\AVG.lnk') FileCreateShortcut(@ProgramFilesDir & '\Grisoft\AVG Free\avgw.exe', @ProgramsCommonDir & '\Accessories\System Tools\AVG Free.lnk') DirRemove(@ProgramsCommonDir & '\AVG Free Edition', 1) ;-----update AVG Free Update() While 1 If WinExists('AVG Free Edition Update Selection', 'Please select update') Then ControlClick('AVG Free Edition Update Selection', 'Please select update', 'Button2') ElseIf WinExists ('AVG Free Edition', 'Update was successfully finished') Then ControlClick('AVG Free Edition', 'Update was successfully finished', 'Button1') Update() Else If WinExists('Update AVG', 'An error occurred when trying to connect') Then ControlClick('Update AVG', 'An error occurred when trying to connect', 'Button1') ElseIf WinExists('AVG Update', 'Your AVG program already has the latest updates installed') Then ControlClick('AVG Update', 'Your AVG program already has the latest updates installed', 'Button1') Exit EndIf EndIf Sleep(40) WEnd Func Update() $var = Ping('guru.grisoft.com') If $var Then Run(@Programfilesdir & '\Grisoft\AVG Free\avginet.exe') Else Exit EndIf EndFunc In my case, the update process runs three times and the program is fully up-to-date following the unattend routine. Nice. This post has been edited by blinkdt*: Dec 9 2006, 11:58 PM

Newbie Group: Members Posts: 45 Joined: 9-August 06 Member No.: 107123	I am not sure why, but I could not get the Admin to work. First it told me that my installer would not work, so I downloaded the network version of my software. Then it told me my key was wrong. Thats funny since it installs fine without the Admin. Anyway, I am not very good with Runonce or Autoit so i messed with switches till I found what I needed. Here is how I did it. Created my avgsetup.ini file with Notepad. CODE HIDE: DONT_START_APPS: NO_WELCOME: NO_AVGW_STARTUP: QUIT_IF_INSTALLED: LOG: "C:\AVG7INST.LOG" TARGET_DIR: "C:\Program Files\AVG7" NAME: "your name" COMPANY: "your company" LICNO: "xx-xxxxxx-xx-xxx-xxxxx-xxx-xxxx" From what I remember, you need to use quotes anytime you use a switch and follow it with information. Like this CODE /script_file "D:\PROGRAMS\$Done$\AVG\avgsetup.ini" Not sure why, but having quotes around it caused it to fail. AVG showed a setup failure do to a parse error. So, I just removed the quotes like this: CODE /script_file D:\PROGRAMS\$Done$\AVG\avgsetup.ini and it installed just like the ini told it to. Now this is only tested through the RUN cmd in WinXP. I am getting ready to test it in my install. UPDATE Ok, in a Unattended installation this method failed. Now I can not even get it to work like it did. I will have to do more testing to find out what I most likely forgot or screwed up. UPDATE Ok, now it works! Seems that you can not have any spaces in the file name at all. I had /script_file C:\Installs\Applications\AVG7.5 Anti Malware\avgsetup.ini and it failed. But, when I changed the folder name to /script_file C:\Installs\Applications\AVG75AntiMalware\avgsetup.ini it went on and did a silent install. So, I have proven it to work on WinXPPro. If others can try this on other versions just to make sure it does exactly work then we have a better way to install AVG Pro. This post has been edited by Triel: Aug 1 2007, 09:54 PM

Newbie Group: Members Posts: 26 Joined: 21-June 05 Member No.: 61404	I've found a way to update the AVG Free version with the latest downloaded virus definition files (*.bin) stored on a local disk without the use of scripts. Let's assume AVG is installed in "C:\Program Files\AVG7" and the bin-files are stored in "D:\Data\AVG-Update". Run the following command CODE "C:\Program Files\AVG7\avgw.exe" /UPDATE /UPDDIR="D:\Data\AVG-Update" The latest bin files will be installed. And the usual popup box (which closes after 30 seconds) will show itself. BTW, you can run it right after you've installed AVG.

Newbie Group: Members Posts: 26 Joined: 21-June 05 Member No.: 61404	This week I've found a solution for updating from the internet without asking the user for confirmation. CODE AVGINET.EXE /ADMIN /UPDDIR="D:\Data\AVG-Update" The /ADMIN switch will download the updates from the internet (without asking the user for confirmation). All updates are downloaded to "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Grisoft\Avg7Data\upd7bin". If you use the switch "/UPDDIR=...", the update files will be copied (not moved) to the path specified. Use quotes around the pathname, otherwise this switch will be ignored. As a downside, the first time it will download the full updates (which is approx. 28mb, at the moment), even if you've installed the latest version. Another thing, the updates are not installed automaticly. To do this you need avgw.exe (see my previous post). So to put it all together: (Install, download the updates, install the updates) CODE avg75free_524a1293.exe /HIDE /DONT_START_APPS /NO_WELCOME /NO_AVGW_STARTUP /QUIT_IF_INSTALLED /TARGET_DIR %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Apps\AVG\Antivirus %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Apps\AVG\Antivirus\avginet.exe /ADMIN /UPDDIR="D:\Data\AVG-Update" %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Apps\AVG\Antivirus\avgw.exe /UPDATE /UPDDIR="D:\Data\AVG-Update" This works for the free version. I don't know if it'll work for a licensed version.

Newbie Group: Members Posts: 26 Joined: 21-June 05 Member No.: 61404	Today I found out how to download only the latest update files, priority and if available recommended. CODE %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Apps\AVG\Antivirus\avginet.exe /SCHED=0 All updates are downloaded in 1 go, and updated immediately. No additional commands or scripts needed. 1 other thing, The free version can also use a scriptfile to install avg-antivirus. Mine looks like this: CODE /HIDE /DONT_START_APPS /NO_WELCOME /NO_AVGW_STARTUP /QUIT_IF_INSTALLED /LOG %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Apps\Install_AVG_AV.log /TARGET_DIR %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Apps\AVG\Antivirus And here is the full install command: CODE %CDROM%\Install\AVG\avg75free_524a1293.exe /SCRIPT_FILE %CDROM%\Install\AVG\AVG_AV.ini Edit: Unfortunately the update commands only apply to avg7 and not avg8, the switch "SCRIPT_FILE" does work for avg8 also.

Junior Group: Members Posts: 72 Joined: 8-November 05 From: Luebeck, Germany Member No.: 79081	@jjvs Thanks for sharing your experiences with us! So I can install AVG 8 Free silently using your INI-file and the command-line you posted? Are there some more parameters for the INI-file? I found this in the AVG-forum/FAQ: How to install AVG without LinkScanner And what do you mean, that the update-commands are not working in AVG 8? I simply want to install AVG 8 silently and unattended - updates are made when first connecting to the internet, because I don't have internet-access while installing Windows. BTW, maybe it's possible to include AVG 8, its INI-script and the actual updates in a WinRAR-SFX-archive? After extracting all files to e.g. %temp%\AVG8 it calls a CMD-file, that first runs the AVG-setup referring to the INI-script and after that installing the included updates via this command-line: CODE %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Apps\AVG\Antivirus\avgw.exe /UPDATE /UPDDIR="%temp%\AVG8" I will try to make a batch-file like I already did for Avira Antivir 8 and see if this works!

There is an option to disable the installation of the "Yahoo toolbar": CODE /NOAVGTOOLBAR I haven't tried to disable the linkscanner myself. So I cannot help you with that. About the updates, The line of code you included in your post doesn't work. AVG has decided to use another commandline util. CODE %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Apps\AVG\avgupd.exe This will go to the internet, and grab the latest update files, and install these. I've tried to find an option to update AVG with local stored update files. But no success so far. Hope it'll helps
