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
Full Version: AVG Anti-Virus Silent
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.

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!
Ciaooo!

It occurs to me that redfive19 made a great AutoIt script to update Microsot AntiSpyware immediately following the install (read more HERE), so why not with AVG? The avginet.exe controls the Internet update functionality, the only issue is error checking. If you have a live Internet connection at the time of install, then update. If not, don't. And if the AVG servers are not available... well... I couldn't replicate that scenario but took a stab at it using the Adlib function.
The Adlib function should kill the dialogue that will pop up if Grisoft's servers are inaccessible as well as close the dialogue that will appear in the unlikely event that an update is not available.
Edit: I updated the script to account for a Window title typo that Grisoft recently corrected (lower case "selection" is now upper case "Selection," and AutoIt is pretty finicky). I have compiled it as "AVGfreeUp.exe" and added it to my WPI install:
The "kill.au3" entry closes the process, 'cause I'm having trouble getting it to work any other way:
CODE
AutoItSetOption("TrayIconHide", 0)
AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 4)
BlockInput(0)
$var = Ping ("guru.grisoft.com")

Everyone, my 1st post. Just wanted to mention a few things I found with AVG Free v7.344 (avg70free_344a618.exe):
- The /SCRIPT_FILE option as discussed above did not seem to work for the free version
- Browing around a found Command Line switches that do not use the Script file:
- avgsetup.exe /HIDE /DONT_START_APPS /NO_WELCOME /NO_AVGW_STARTUP /QUIT_IF_INSTALLED /LOG "C:\install\AVG7INST.LOG"
- I also noticed that if the Setup fails, you can remove the /HIDE and will see a GUI with Details on what the problem is.
- Hope this helps someone...
Thank you for this forum. I have been using it now for 2 days with high degree of success!

this is for the lastest release of avg free (7.1 i believe)
any help would be greatly appreciated
Hi Venevus,
For AVG I use this cmdline option to install to a different location:
I think if you add TARGET_DIR "%Systemdrive%\path-to\AVG-Antivirus" to your script
file it should work too.

I tried removing the text files but AVG wouldn't install so just leave them.
Then add this to your app install file;
CODE
ECHO.

The part in blue is one line.
If you want to get more technical get the freeware app AVGADMIN 7.0.195
It's how I did it.
With the second lot of code, does this also go into the avgsetup.ini File?

This is what you've all be waiting for. How to do a silent install with AVG Anti-Virus.
Change the directories if needed. You should have something similar;
$OEM$\$1\Install\Applications\AVG7\
Inside the AVG7 folder you put extracted AVG setup files.
Then you have to make a file named avgsetup.ini and put the following in it:
CODE
HIDE:
DONT_START_APPS:
NO_WELCOME:
LOG: "C:\AVG7INST.LOG"
NAME: "UserName"
COMPANY: "Company"
LICNO: "Serial"
DONT_START_APPS:
NO_WELCOME:
LOG: "C:\AVG7INST.LOG"
NAME: "UserName"
COMPANY: "Company"
LICNO: "Serial"
The AVG7 folder should now have the following;
avgsetup.exe
avgsetup.ini
files.dat
setup.dat
setup.lns
license_sk.txt
license_us.txt
license_cz.txt
license_fr.txt

I have been using AVG Free for a while now (after Norton f***ed up my pc) and I'm having no problems with it!
I would also like to know how to unattendedly install those updates!
thx! jeroen.
Hey guys, I tried using this with my AVG 7 plus Firewall (not Free) and works fine:
avgsetup.ini
if anyone wants, you can create a .log file in the c:\ or %systemdrive% just adding this line in the avgsetup.ini:
just like the first post in this section, fully working, then I'm just trying to discover how to install up-to-date.

I have no problems either, i would sort you pc out mate
Yeah Tempers got some real issues with AVG huh, no dramas or viruses here.
I'm really thinkin I need to speak to someone from AVG re what files can be backed up & then reinstalled in a ua install. Don't know how much luck I'll have with that but I only have the free vers? & one pc anyway may be worth the ask?

Forgive the confusion and ignorance but I have some basic questions regarding Licensing, as suggested by MUIZ, and Updating, as suggested by blinkdt.
PLEASE HELP!
1. LICENSING
MUIZ,
You said:
1. What is the script_file, which script does it refer to? (I looked at the thread but I could decide which script did what, nor for which version, Free or Pro, and I'm interested in Pro);
2. what should it be called (Simply script_file, with no file extention?);
3. Where should it be placed ? (In the same folder as the avgsetup.ini files, along with all the rest?);
4. Once I have the correct script_file, would this be a possible Runonce command?
REG ADD %KEY%\054 /VE /D "AVG Pro" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\054 /V 1 /D "%PP%\AVGPRO\avgsetup.exe /script_file %PP%\AVGPRO\avgsetup.ini" /f
2. UPDATING

It occurs to me that redfive19 made a great AutoIt script to update Microsot AntiSpyware immediately following the install (read more HERE), so why not with AVG? The avginet.exe controls the Internet update functionality, the only issue is error checking. If you have a live Internet connection at the time of install, then update. If not, don't. And if the AVG servers are not available... well... I couldn't replicate that scenario but took a stab at it using the Adlib function.
CODEAutoItSetOption("TrayIconHide", 0)
AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 4)
BlockInput(0)
$var = Ping ("guru.grisoft.com")
If $var Then
Run (@Programfilesdir & "\Grisoft\AVG Free\avginet.exe")
AdlibEnable ("Quit", 500)
WinWait ("AVG Free Edition Update Selection", "Please select update", 60)
AdlibDisable ()
ControlClick ("AVG Free Edition Update Selection", "Please select update", "Button2")
WinWait ("AVG Free Edition", "Update was successfully finished", 5)
ControlClick ("AVG Free Edition", "Update was successfully finished", "Button1")
Else
Exit
EndIf
Exit
Func Quit()
If WinExists ("Update AVG") Then
ControlClick ("Update AVG", "An error occurred when trying to connect", "Button1")
ElseIf WinExists ("AVG Update") Then
ControlClick ("AVG Update", "No new update files are available", "Button1")
EndIf
EndFunc
The Adlib function should kill the dialogue that will pop up if Grisoft's servers are inaccessible as well as close the dialogue that will appear in the unlikely event that an update is not available.
Edit: I updated the script to account for a Window title typo that Grisoft recently corrected (lower case "selection" is now upper case "Selection," and AutoIt is pretty finicky). I have compiled it as "AVGfreeUp.exe" and added it to my WPI install:
CODEcmd1[pn]=['%cdrom%\\Programs\\AVG\\avg71free_362a652.exe /HIDE /DONT_START_APPS /NO_WELCOME
/NO_AVGW_STARTUP /QUIT_IF_INSTALLED']
cmd2[pn]=['%cdrom%\\AutoIt3.exe %cdrom%\\Programs\\AVG\\AVGfreeUp.au3']
cmd3[pn]=['%cdrom%\\AutoIt3.exe %cdrom%\\Programs\\AVG\\kill.au3']
The "kill.au3" entry closes the process, 'cause I'm having trouble getting it to work any other way:
CODEAutoItSetOption("TrayIconHide", 1)
AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 4)
BlockInput(0)
ProcessClose("AVGfreeUp.exe")
ProcessClose("AutoIt3.exe")

@sangi Yes, your setup looks correct. I have my AutoIt scripts in one folder together with the AVG setup file and run them from that location. I do not use the PRO version--and therefore do not use the .ini install method--but imagine the update process is the same? If not--if the dialogue boxes are different--then my script will not work...AutoIt is clicking the buttons for me, and those buttons and dialogues are set out in a particular order. If Grisoft changes their install routine, then I must change my script, but that has only happened once due to the typo I mentioned (a capitalization issue, which was difficult to locate 
). I have been using the script successfully for some time now. The entire script looks like this, cleaning up shortcuts along the way:

@MC Do you know of a silent method of running the avginet.exe service? That would be great!

Try using setup.exe /HIDE /@ avg_net.cfg
It seems to work for me.

THANK YOU SO MUCH Bachus!!!
You just made my existance easier!!!!
:punk: :afro: :jump:
Where does this go? In my runonce.cmd file?
blinkdt,
I did not use your entire script because I wouldn't know how to license it from there. However, your update script works fine for AVG Pro, with a few minor changes highlighted below.
MUIZ,
I've answered my own stupid question. There is no other script file, that is script_file referes to the avgsetup.ini itself! Only one minor glitch, the target directory has to include Grisoft, see below:
And if anyone else is interested the way I placed everything in the same folder (avgsetup.ini, AVGfreeUp.exe and kill.exe) and called it on my Runonce works fine! (See below).
Best,
Sangi
