hello,
i see all ppls r using NAV and no one mcaffe virusscan?
i think mcaffe is better

does anyone have a switch for virusscan 8.0.20 ??

i use mcafee 6.0, i have reduced it down from 50+mb to just over 28+mb and i am still slimming it down. it will include both the vscan & firewall. i started by using the .msi /qn for each one and i haven't had a problem yet. i will try and cut it down to the very basic install, at that pt i will post it. i started buy copying the enitre cd to the hard drive & then went looking for the .msi.

the farthest i could slim down McAfee 6.0 w/ the virusscan & firewall is to 24.6mb & not get any errors. in the $OEM$\$1\Install create a folder called VSC, so it should look like $OEM$\$1\Install\VSC. in the vsc folder create a folder called MFW, it should look like $OEM$\$1\Install\VSC\MFW.

copy these files from the cd to the VSC folder. (On the cd the files are in the VSC folder.)
VScan60.msi
extra
naifiltr (security catalog)
naifiltr (setup info)
uninst.dll
uninst (configuration settings)
setup (configuration settings)
winxp (folder)

copy these files from the cd to the MFW folder. (On the cd the files are in the VSC\MFW.)
MCfire.msi
setup (configuration settings)
extra

then add these lines to the batch file.

ECHO.
ECHO Installing McAfee Virus Scan 6.0...
start /wait %systemdrive%\install\VSC\vscan60.msi /QN
ECHO.
ECHO Installing McAfee Firewall 3.0...
start /wait %systemdrive%\install\VSC\MFW\mcfire.msi /QN
ECHO.


the mcafee might be the last app anyone will want to install. it does require a reboot before it will work correctly. (this is the way i do it: i took the reboot file out of the batch file & i automatically reboot the computer after the install is done from my unattended winxp cd.)

V.8 does'nt use Windows Installer...it uses something else

I haven't seen v8 but if its like v7.1 enterprise they use Netopsytems installer. You should be able to do it in similar fashion to the Acrobat Reader 6 installer but I have not had the time to try it yet.

With v7 you had to use Mcafee installation designer in order to make the installer silent.

If it's McAfee VirusScan enterprise edition v7.1.0 you can use the following method:



From v7.0 on the installer is a Netopsys setup file, just like Acrobat Reader. I've tried the switches above with Acrobat Reader but for some reason this doesn't work. You'd think that these switches would be the same for Netopsys setup files, regardless of the application it installs :/

According to McAfee's documentation the /RunAutoUpdate should run the McAfee updater as soon as the installer is complete, but I haven't been able to get this to work. Instead, now I use the extra command line calling the MCUPDATE.EXE executable, which will update the engine and DAT files for you.

Thanks EelCapone you probably just saved me a day of work soon.

V8 is more of a HTML installer or something....
it's not a Windows or Netopsystems it looks like

I just installed Mcafee 7 enterprise ed by using the recommended windows installer switches in the unattended guide. This is all I did and it didn't reboot or ask for input.

For s***s-n-giggles, I emailed tech support to see if they could be of any help. Their initial reply said it couldn't be done. After replying with a question as to why their previous version supported this feature, but an "upgrade" didn't, this is what I received.



I tried his suggestion, and it worked... all the way till the end when a FINISHED box pops up.

Too bad because McAfee runs circles around NAV as far as I'm concerned.

Mcafee Internet Security (AV, Firewall, spamkiller, etc):
\MIS.msi REBOOT=r ADDLOCAL=ALL /qb-!

So far, I think this might work, but I'm still testing it:

From downloaded files

setup.exe -nos_ne -nos_o"<path>"

put contents of <path> into xpcd\$oem$\$1\McAfee

In RunOnceEx.exe:



I'll update this when I have a chance to test it more...

I did it by adding this to my batch file - I'm sure it's inelegant, but it seems to have worked so far!

ECHO.
ECHO Installing McAfee VirusScan Enterpise 8
ECHO Please wait...
start /wait %SystemDrive%\Install\Applications\VirusScan8.0\Setup.exe /quiet /norestart

ECHO.
ECHO Running SDAT
ECHO Please wait...remember to update to latest SDAT ASAP
start /wait %SystemDrive%\Install\Applications\VirusScan8.0\sd.exe /SILENT

hello, i would ask you what about kaspersky anti-virus personal 5.0 ? does anyone here use it?
i really need the install switchs for it, can anyone help me please?
Thx

For Viruscan 8.0i you have to run just like doing the administrative setup (using the /a )for Office 2003 and create a network share point. It copies all the files to that share and than you can copy it to your admin point and use the normal msi packages switches!

i didnt do that

i install mcafee 8 grab the decompressed files in the folder tmp..

the msi dont work with switch?

i try but fail

nobody try this product?

its a good av with adware filter and works ....
