I've found it. Not sure if its working for Avast! Home but it works for Avast! Pro and you can try it for 60 days...

-install Avast! Pro the way you like
-configure it the way you like
-Launch it by clicking right mouse bouton on the systray icon, and choosing "Start Avast!" (not by double clicking the icon, this would open another window)
-Click the uper-left icon of the window and select "Go to advanced gui"
-Now, on the advanced gui, click on File, and the "Create silent installation"
This will create 2 or 3 files: a .xml and .ini files, and a .dat if you protect avast with a password (this would be your password encoded in the files)
-Copy those 2 or 3 files in the same directory as the setup file.
-Run the setup file, without any parameters. This should install it silently

thats it! smile.gif
Look in the help file for more info.

Merci beaucoup ! Cela va m'être bien utile smile.gif.

Cela ne peut fonctionner dans la version Home, car il n'y a pas d'option "Go to the advanced gui".

Y a-t-il une solution ?



Thank you very much ! This will be very useful smile.gif.

It doesn't work with the Home version, because there is no option "Go to the advanced gui".

Is there a solution ?

4. copy the 2 files Admin.ini and Tasks.xml to a folder and join the downloaded setup.

5 copy this folder (avast4) to $oem&

6. create inside RUNONCE.CMD this
REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Avast Antivirus 4" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\avast4\setupengpro.exe" /f

ps dont change the folder destination on file .ini or give error.

use vmware to test

or use the comand line to run .

no need to install all cd or dvd to test .
