Also it seems VIRSCANT.DAT IS not updated when I extracted the files to virusdefs directory, but it didn't affect SAV reporting the current date of virusdefs (my case 8/28/2004) and LiveUpdate still didn't see any new updates.

@mazin I ran LiveUpdate more than once to see if it would show updates and it didn't.  I don't know why its not working for ya.  Sorry I hope you find an solution.

Well, thanks.

I downloaded the new V.Defs update (28/8). I'll try your steps (you & killerbee) and see if it works.

But I'd like to say that I'm worried about other people, too.
killerbee
hi,

i had it a long time that it wanted to download new vir-defs after i "slipstreamed" them, but it came from extracting the virdefs manually and not via the /Extract-switch. Ater i switched to the /Extract-method all is fine now. and even after calling LU 10 times it don't want to download anything new...

hope this helps a bit

cya

i32 worked fine for me, too. Thank you all. thumbup.gif

I think the guide on the first page must be updated now. Updates should be:

- Use i32 not x86. tongue.gif
- Overwrite not delete then extract. tongue.gif

@killerbee

You can enhance extraction process to be short and completely silent:

start /wait 20040828-003-i32.exe /Extract /Q "%systemdrive%\SAV91400\program files\Symantec AntiVirus\Virus Defs"


NB: I created a batch file to do all the job silently. cool.gif

- Patching AIP.
- Extracting V.Defs to AIP directly.

I'm glad to hear it worked for mazin. Now if I could just get LiveUpdate working using cee-kay' modified installer everything would cool.
prathapml
@mazin
would be nice if you could share that batch on the forum. And your suggested changes on first-page have been made, thank you.


@everybody
Any more contributions/suggestions here?
Since its a fact that many people consider SAV to be better than NAV, this topic's first page will be updated to reflect the new things we have learnt from each other here. I'll make it a consolidated guide, maybe.

If anybody is willing to set out in detail, step-by-step about what to do in simple language, I'll link that post to the first-post. Credits will be clearly acknowledged.

boring.gif My Useless Guide for SAV's AIP thumbdown.gif

Before you use this guide, make sure SAV isn't installed on your system. Otherwise, you'll get errors when creating the Administrative Installation Point.

Create a folder anywhere on your hard disk and name it whatever you like. I'll assume you name it "SAVSource".

Copy the following files into "SAVSource":

1- 0x0409.ini (for French version, you need 0x040c.ini, instead)
2- Setup.ini
3- setup.exe
4- Data1.cab
5- Symantec AntiVirus.msi

Those 5 files are copied from your CD (of version 9.0.0.338), of course.

6- SAVCE_9.0.0.1400_AllWin_EN .msp

This file is extracted from SAVCE_9.0.0_mp2.zip (3 MB) downloadable from here.
(for French version, you download this, instead.)

7- yyyymmdd-###-i32.exe

It's usually 5+ MB in size and can be downloaded from here. The file I'm using in this guide is named 20040828-003-i32.exe!
(for French version, you start here, instead.)

8- lusetup.exe

It's 2.5+ MB in size and can be downloaded from here.

9- remote.cmd

The following quote shows the contents of remote.cmd!

QUOTE
cls
@echo off
ECHO Creating AIP
start /wait setup.exe /A /V"/QB TARGETDIR=%systemdrive%\SAV91400" tongue.gif

start /wait 20040828-003-i32.exe /Extract /Q "%systemdrive%\SAV91400\program files\Symantec AntiVirus\Virus Defs"
exit

Before you run remote.cmd, make sure you put sleep.exe in your system32 or Windows folder.
After remote.cmd exits, you should have your AIP created (ready steady) as a folder in your system drive and named SAV91400.
Now, delete "SAVSource" folder, as it's no longer needed.

To install SAV using your AIP, add these lines to your batch file:

QUOTE
ECHO SAV 9.0.0.1400 V.Defs updated 28.8.2004
start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\SAV91400\SAV.msi /QB RUNLIVEUPDATE=0 REBOOT=ReallySuppress

Thanx a lot mazin - now we'll wait for a day or two, for additions/suggestions to your guide, then post it as the primary guide (I'll replace my instructions on first page of topic). thumbup.gif

QUOTE
@cee-kay Bad news I'm still getting the error I reported earlier when trying to install SAV. I tried both my Main OS (on my laptop) and a Virtual OS (VMWare).

Still getting the same error, huh? That's strange as I totally uninstalled LU and SAV using Add/Remove Programs, making sure the relevant directories etc were deleted and tried the first revision of my installer silently, and I did get the error you reported.

I then completely removed LU and SAV again and ran my updated version of the installer and the problem didn't occur at all! blink.gif

Using the contents of the two below files, I checked that both LiveUpdate v2.5 and SAV were infact installed sucessfully:

Install log - log.txt (created using the switch '/L*V log.txt')

CODE
MSI (s) (90:04) [19:13:52:669]: Product: Symantec AntiVirus -- Installation operation completed successfully.

'.\Program Files\Symantec\LiveUpdate\LuResult.txt' - LiveUpdate log file

CODE
LiveUpdate has been successfully installed on your machine.

Therefore, may I suggest that everyone who is experiencing this problem with my modified installer, to do the same as I have done, by completely uninstalling both SAV then LU (rebooting after each uninstall) and trying/retrying my latest revision preferably with logging enabled. If problems still occur, then I will investigate further.

Thanks for your help! biggrin.gif

By the way, extracting the contents of the i32 version of the virus definitions into a temp directory as previously mentioned and overwriting the contents of the files already there seems to update the definitions correctly -- this is confirmed by running LU several times and the program not downloading any updates.
mazin
@prathapml

Well!

As for LU 2.5, I'm using the same idea of killerbee.
But, since it becomes about 10 MB after extraction, I suggest you create a SFX for it with the same switch integrated inside the SFX, you know.

The new SFX size is 3.25 MB only. This was tested and worked for me. It runs unattendedly, you know.

I didn't add it to my guide because I thought it was off the course of AIP.

Thanks.

New version out v9.0.1.1100
RyanVM
I've heard rumblings about v9.0.1, but all I've seen for purchase is 9.0.0
XPC-001
after doing the admin install [setup /a] and sliping in the .msp patch & updated virus defs i tried to pass the following switches to .msi file

ECHO.
ECHO Installing Symantec Antivirus Corporate 9
ECHO Please wait...
start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\sav\SymantecAntiVirus.msi /QB REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESS RUNLIVEUPDATE=0 ENABLEAUTOPROTECT=1 REMOVE=NotesSnapin

after trial & error i found out that the .msi file doesn't like thease commands at all no.gif "REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESS RUNLIVEUPDATE=0 ENABLEAUTOPROTECT=1 REMOVE=NotesSnapin" no.gif and resulting in an error. so i just left in the /QB switch and it silently installed with no error....

In order to install LiveUpdate silently, install using 'Lusetup.exe /Q' instead, that should work for you, if not consider using the installer I made -- it's up to you. smile.gif

I'd be happy to see that as well in your guide. I really don't know what an AIP (as in the context of your post) is, LOL.
But I do know that my original intention in this thread was to have all necessary updates for SAV9 in one guide (that includes LU 2.5). Any more additions that I haven't mentioned are welcome too. Any cautions/notable-things to check on while making the SAV9 combined would be good too. Any more ideas/notes would be good.

Basically, EVERYTHING that there is to be about SAV9. Thanks for taking the time to put together that guide mazin! thumbup.gif

In fact, that sentence (quoted here) looked like an abbreviation for something else. I'd heard of AIO's (All-in-one), but not of anything like All-in-P?????. Hence my question. (its late night now, so maybe I'm getting a bit slack in mind).

New version out v9.0.1.1100

I think this is the licensed version, not ours! Am I correct? unsure.gif
prathapml
No, you can pre-order it right now. And the one many are already having is licensed too (v9.0.338). So there's no difference in the two. Licensed and "ours" is the same. Also, maybe symantec will release a patch for upgrading to v9.0.1 once its finalised. Because it is not a new version (like v8.1 was to v8.0), a patch SHOULD be available - I'll wait and get that instead of running to buy a pre-packaged version of the updated SAV.


BTW, what I meant was "All-in-what????". I mean, what word that starts from letter "P". Sheesh, this is getting a bit funny now...... might be wiser to finish up with it. laugh.gif

You could try this in the CMD window:
CODE
msiexec /a whatever.msi
Might work that way (same was the case with .NET framework).


Also, if you have the original licensed package, you will be able to run "/A" with no problems. The warez download sites seem to give out a single-file installer which is pretty problematic as mentioned by you.

This document is for people wishing to silently customize their SAV Corp 9 settings
after a silent installation.

**
a batch file to make these changes is included at the end; it's also possible to add
these changes to your .msi file, using the MaSaI Editor, but I was feeling lazy newwink.gif
**

It took a little while to find all of this in the registry, as well as figuring out the
settings, but here it is... Many thanks to prathapml, who encouraged me to dig it up!

Tweak the settings in the batch file to whatever you need, then run it after SAV is
installed...

(added _'s to try to space out entries for readability..)

There are many options in this key that you can change which will become the new defaults for all virus scans.
Here are a few of them detailed:

CODE
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\INTEL\LANDesk\VirusProtect6\CurrentVersion\Custom Tasks
\Default Scan Options]

DWords    __________My Settings __________ Description

ScanForGreyware ______1______Turn this on to scan for "expanded threats" (eg. spyware, adware, etc)
ScanProcesses_________1______Scan memory by default
FirstGreywareAction_____3______First action to take with greyware, 3=delete 4=log only
SecondGreywareAction___4______Second action to take with greyware, 3=delete 4=log only


If you wish to customize the default settings of liveupdate like I wanted to,
here is the key:

CODE
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\INTEL\LANDesk\VirusProtect6\CurrentVersion\PatternManager
\Schedule]

DWords    ______My Settings______    Description

Created    ______1093971976______Looks necessary;  number of seconds since 01/01/1970
DayOfMonth______1______Day of month to run on, if monthly.
DayOfWeek______3______What day to run on; Sun=0 ... Sat=6
                                        (I like wednesday, personally..)
Enabled    ________1______Enable automatic liveupdates
LastStart________0______Necessary; can be 0
MinOfDay_______780______The time to start, counted in minutes since midnight.
_______________________(1pm=13hours*60mins=780)
MissedEventEnabled___1______Handle missed events
RandomizeDayEnabled__0______Enable randomizing the minute of day LU runs on
RandomizeDayRange___60______Randomize LU to within x minutes of MinOfDay
RandomizeMonthEnabled__0______Both of these look necessary, even if set to 0
RandomizeWeekEnabled__0______Both of these look necessary, even if set to 0
SkipEvent________0______0=Don't skip
TimeWindowDaily______4______Handle missed events within x hours
TimeWindowMonthly______5______Handle missed events within x days
TimeWindowWeekly______3______Handle missed events within x days
Type______2______Daily=1, Weekly=2, Monthly=3


If you wish to include a weekly scan by default on new machines, the code is included in the batch file below; I didn't detail all of the settings for it since they're pretty redundant with what I've already documented...


Please PM me with any corrections to this post, as I have only been able to test it on
my own machines, and I'm not positive that it'll work for everybody yet.
Thanks for helping test! newwink.gif

Why does it says Impossible to install the service SAVRTPEL (SAVRTPEL). Check that you have sufficient privileges to install services

wtf? I am administrator! If I click on Ignore it says later Failed to load Symantec AntiVirus Auto-Protect

And why does live update go on at the end of install? I added the line so it would go on but in the old packager LU could run silently and update itself silently after installation if i'm right...

So how can we tell it to update silently in the back while other apps install?

So far, this guide has been talking about unlicensed version of SAV.

If you've got the licensed version (Business Pack), then you need to download an MSP that's different from what we talked about here.

For anyone who wants to determine which version is installed on his PC, please read this.

And from there, you'll know what to download to update your product.
