Member Group: Members Posts: 258 Joined: 15-February 05 Member No.: 44055	After the installation of BitDefender 9 Professional Plus, 2 screens appear, instead of 4 in BitDefender 8 Professional Plus. and I have tried modifying the old AutoIT script (that worked with BitDefender 8 Professional Plus), but that crashed and burned. I have also tried creating a new script, using SciTe ScriptWriter. No good either. Can anyone help me out here?

(button1, button2) Thats why i couldn't edit the old script. When i hover over the button "Register" there is no Control ID: or Text: ClassNameNN: is Internet Explorer_Server1 This post has been edited by Nucleus: Aug 27 2005, 07:27 PM

Now I Am Become Death, Destroyer of Worlds Group: Members Posts: 23 Joined: 23-September 05 Member No.: 74230	I tried it, but the "BitDefender 9 Professional Plus" (the bigger of the two pictured) window title is null so it is impossible to get control of it with AutoIT (if there is some other way, for God's sakes let me know). You would have to try and get the window focus using raw mouse inputs, and that would be just too much of a risk with other programs running in the foreground. Also, regshot did not detect any usable registry settings that got changed after registration, only the crypto one and a couple of un-editable files under the system32 folder (same place where SAM hash is). Files you can't edit while Windows is running. So it has to be done with window control of the running program... This is the only program I haven't been able to get working yet. Any help would be appreciated. Otherwise, I guess I'll have to use version 8.

Now I Am Become Death, Destroyer of Worlds Group: Members Posts: 23 Joined: 23-September 05 Member No.: 74230	I guess I should have made it clearer... I'm trying to automate the registration process, which pops up right after install. I'm not having a problem actually installing Bitdefender silently. Right now I just have script that kills all the processes after install. bdkill.bat CODE @ECHO OFF taskkill /IM bdmcon.exe /F /T taskkill /IM bdss.exe /F /T taskkill /IM bdoesrv.exe /F /T taskkill /IM bdnagent.exe /F /T What I need is something that will register automatically, if I truly want to make the setup unattended. Thanks for the switches though, I didn't know you could disable the automatic virus scan from the parameters.

Now I Am Become Death, Destroyer of Worlds Group: Members Posts: 23 Joined: 23-September 05 Member No.: 74230	Looks like we are SOL for a silent registration of BitDefender 9 Professional! (read entire post) I have been corresponding with the BitDefender Support Team for the past week or so trying to get a solution for this. According to tech support, the method for silent registration is to pass your registration key using the following parameter: CODE WIN_KEY="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" Following their logic, my final target parameters looked like this: CODE bdprof.msi /qb- REBOOT=ReallySuppress SCAN=0 UPDATE=0 ICON=1 WIN_KEY="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" USERNAME="Test" Which would disable reboot, disable the automatic scan, disable auto-update, add an icon to desktop, and auto-register with the username "Test". You can also pass a COMPANYNAME parameter if you wish to register with a certain company name. HOWEVER, it seems that after some testing we discovered that none of this will work with BitDefender 9 Professional! The WIN_KEY parameter is only available to the BitDefender Client that is packaged with the Enterprise Manager 2.5 suite. There is no comparative way to do this with BD 9 Pro (and yes I've tried PIDKEY, it doesn't work either). According to support, they are considering implementing WIN_KEY in the future but at the moment there is NO solution for this problem if you are using BD 9 Pro. Just thought I would share this with everyone.

I hope they fix this. Indeed. The Tech Support guy mentioned that they are considering enabling this parameter for future standalone kits of BitDefender. You can take a crack at editing the .msi file with Orca if you are pretty good, you might get it to work. I tried it myself and I did get the registration to change, however it told me that I had an invalid key rather than just not registering like it was before. From my experiments it seems that if you have a correct key that it ignores you, but if you have an incorrect key it will complain. So something is disabled somewhere. Anyway if you hack a working .msi together, please let me know. I would be interested.

Member Group: Members Posts: 258 Joined: 15-February 05 Member No.: 44055	I am a big fan of BitDefender, but all I have is problems regarding it's registration. Like mentioned in this post before, it is not possible to register BitDefender without using an AutoIT script. The following script will register BitDefender 9 Pro Plus. It has been tested, and it's working. Big thanks to Larry at www.autoitscript.com This is the original post The problem is, when bitdefender installation finishes and the script tries to run, so that it can complete the registration, bitdefender detects it as a virus, and does not let it run. I don't know who's fault is that, bitdefender's or autoit's, but i am suspecting bitdefender, because other antivirus software, do not detect the script as a virus. Anyone knows a way to work around this problem? Attached File(s) bitdefender.au3 ( 2.18K ) Number of downloads: 56

His code is can get so complex that it makes my head hurt trying to understand it. AV programs constantly pick on AutoIt compiled scripts. The compiled scripts have a common bin file (interpreter) that is present in all compiled scripts. The AV companies make a mistake by targeting the bin code rather then the uncommon script code. Do a search of the AutoIt forums and you will find posts showing this. One idea I have is to use Adlib to monitor for the presence of the definition file that BitDefender installs, delete it and perhaps copy over a later version. Hopefully this could be done before BitDefender runs. Or you could get onto BitDefender and tell them to update their installer with an AutoIt friendly installer?

This does the job for me just fine RunOnceEx.cmd CODE REG ADD %KEY%\020 /VE /D "BitDefender v9.0 Pro" /f REG ADD %KEY%\020 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\BitDefender\BitDefender.msi /qb REBOOT=Suppress SCAN=0 UPDATE=0 ICON=0" /f REG ADD %KEY%\020 /V 2 /D "%CDROM%\Software\BitDefender\AutoIt3.exe \"%CDROM%\Software\BitDefender\BitDefender.au3\"" /f BitDefender.au3 is the one i posted before. QUOTE (microbion) after installing BD9 just update the virus signatures and it'll work properly The autoit script is detected as a virus while trying to complete bitdefender registration. At least thats what happened with my unattended installation. But, i followed MHz advice, and i didnt compile the script. I just executed it as shown above in my RunOnceEx.cmd This post has been edited by Nucleus: Nov 10 2005, 11:10 AM

Member Group: Members Posts: 258 Joined: 15-February 05 Member No.: 44055	There is no detailed explanation on how to register BitDefender 9 Professional Plus using the win.ini method, so here it goes. First of all let’s make it clear, that win.ini is totally useless in WinNT, Win2K and WinXP, so the first move is to DELETE it. (%WINDIR%\win.ini) BitDefender will create it again. Taken from http://www.computerhope.com/jargon/w/winini.htm Win.ini The Microsoft Windows 3.x, 95, and 98 initialization file located in windows directory. The win.ini file is used to load various settings each time Windows boots, for example, the communications drivers, wallpaper, screen saver, languages, fonts, etc... are loaded each time the win.ini is initialized. If this file becomes corrupt or bad Windows will either not load, or have several errors as it loads. Users who are running Windows NT 4.0, 2000, XP, or later operating systems no longer have a win.ini. Instead of storing these settings in this file they are stored in the system registry. Step 1: Install BitDefender and register it. A new win.ini will be created. Put it on your unattended cd. Step 2: RunOnceEx.cmd CODE REG ADD %KEY%\023 /VE /D "BitDefender v9.0 Pro" /f REG ADD %KEY%\023 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\BitDefender\BitDefender.msi /qb REBOOT=Suppress SCAN=0 UPDATE=0 ICON=0" /f REG ADD %KEY%\023 /V 2 /D "%CDROM%\Software\BitDefender\RegInfo.cmd" /f Reginfo.cmd CODE cmdow @ /HID @echo off TASKKILL /F /IM bdmcon.exe COPY /Y "%~dp0win.ini" "%WINDIR%" PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 1000 >NUL Start "" "%PROGRAMFILES%\Softwin\BitDefender9\bdmcon.exe" EXIT You should place win.ini in the same folder as Reginfo.cmd, so that it can be copied over to %WINDIR%. The %~dp0 in front of win.ini is for detecting the full path of the source file. (Thanks to MHz for that little bit of information ) Well, that's it. BitDefender is started, and it's registered. This method solved all my problems with autoit scripts, and removed the last autoit script from my unattended DVD This post has been edited by Nucleus: Dec 27 2005, 04:58 PM
