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:

HIDE:
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
license_ge.txt
readme_ge.txt
readme_cz.txt
readme_fr.txt
readme_sk.txt
readme_us.txt

I tried removing the text files but AVG wouldn't install so just leave them.

Then add this to your app install file;

ECHO.
ECHO Installing AVG Anti-Virus 7.0.197...
SET SETUP="%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\AVG7\avgsetup.exe"
[COLOR=blue]%SETUP% /SCRIPT_FILE "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\AVG7\avgsetup.ini" %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
[/COLOR]

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.

[Bachus]

Do you know if this (or a similar method) works for the free version? (6.5)

Nevermind, I found documentation on it for AVG6. I'll have to track down the admin tool for it, though. I'll post again when I find a link.

Found it: ftp://ftp.grisoft.cz...tw/60/uk/admin/
There's the admin tool and the documentation. Now to test.

Hey, flattspott,

HIDE:
DONT_START_APPS:
NO_WELCOME:
LOG: "C:\AVG7INST.LOG" <--- Can I use "%systemdrive%\AVG7INST.LOG" instead?
NAME: "UserName"
COMPANY: "Company"
LICNO: "Serial"

[flattspott]

You can put it whereever you want

I'm looking for the same info for AVG Antivirus 6.0 build 282 (which is the one we have at work).

I tried using the AVG_NET.CFG created by the AVG Admin 6, but I can't find what command line option I have to give setup.exe to use it.

Help!!! :/

[Bachus]

Try using setup.exe /HIDE /@ avg_net.cfg

It seems to work for me.

[thundernetbr]

Hey flattspott,

GREAT job ! Works fine even with my FULL installation !

Btw, could you bring us some light regarding to the update file ? I'll try to copy the most recent .bin to the AVG path, but I think it'll not work, it's different from AVG 6.x, where all we have to do was to d/l the most recent .bin and put it into the \update subfolder (the AVG 6 used to manage all the updates into one folder). But now it doesn't exists anymore...

Thanks !

THANK YOU SO MUCH Bachus!!!
You just made my existance easier!!!!
:punk: :afro: :jump:

[flattspott]

You all should do like I did and down load the admin pdfs from grisoft.com

[Shotgun]

Ok. Now I can install AVG 6.0 silently, but HOW do I make it start up with the virus definition files ALREADY updated. I tried copying the .BIN files directly to the UPDATES directory of AVG, but when I logged on for the first time, the program started as if it did not recognize any updates.

Tried the setup again from scratch (I formatted the target drive) and tried updating by using the Service -> Update -> From folder option in AVG the first time I logged on, but it refuses with "Did not find any updates". The .BINs I'm using are the ones downloaded from the AVG website and the program somehow refuses to update with them.

It insists on connecting to the Internet to get an update, then it recognizes the other .BIN files I placed in the UPDATES directory.

Any clues what I'm doing wrong? I want to install it and that when I log the first time it appears already with the latest update.

[Bachus]

Ironically, I'm having trouble getting AVG 6.0 to install, too. the setup.log file generated by AVG setup has this to say:

ExePath=C:\INSTALL\AVG\SETUP.EXE
ErrorStop: Serial number not valid for this language version.

The thing is that the serial number works fine when install manually. Odd...

[Shotgun]

Are you putting the serial in quotes in the AVG_NET.CFG file?

It should be like: SERNO: "XXX-XXX-XXXXXX-XXX"

[Bachus]

Yes, it is. However, the serial only has one character after the first dash, eg: XXX-X-XXXXXX-XXX
I'll just cut to the chase and show you my avg_net.cfg file generated by the admin tool I linked to earlier:

[knewman01]

I'm having exactly the same problem with the free version. My cfg file contains the correct serial number.

Tried creating a config file with install.exe...incorrect serial number for this language version.

[Bachus]

I've even tried a couple keys I found elsewhere and those don't even work. Something is very wrong here...

[tapnet]

So whould that be:

ECHO.
ECHO Installing AVG Anti-Virus 7.0.197...
SET SETUP="%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\AVG7\avgsetup.exe"
%SETUP% /SCRIPT_FILE "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\AVG7\avgsetup.ini" %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

How to do a cd unattended, for AVG anti-virus 6 version Free (silent installation)
I would like to do an installation of AVG anti-virus 6 version Free (avg6614fu_free.exe) installing in the silent way (silent installation) in the cd windows xp sp1, somebody knows that command them step-for-step.

If somebody wants this version to test or to try to set up the necessary files:
http://www.grisoft.c...6614fu_free.exe

I created svcpack.inf to install the hotfixes.
I altered dosnet.inf as it should be done.
I created winnt.sif to have an unattended installation.

With the file " admin6_en.pdf " I created the file avg_net.cfg

What should I Do with the file " avg_net.cfg "?
Where should I place this? Where? in OEM? what directory?

I created a directory and I placed extracted AVG in this directory

I place like this: Is that correct?

$OEM$\$1\Install\Applications\AVG6 \

Which command lines should I place in the file winnt.inf, and what directory OEM exactly I should place the antivirus? this correct one as I placed soon above?!
Should I use Winrar to extract the file (avg6614fu_free.exe) before inserting in the directory OEM? Or should I place in the way that came?

Bachus and Rifle, please, they Help me!!

bump for silent install of avg free edition

[Schadenfroh]

alright, i wrote a VBscript that should autmatically install the free version, asuming you have already extratcted the avg install into a directory. open notepad and save it as avg.vbs and link avg.vbs in your .cmd file to run it, BTW, it will restart your system
