I have NOT done a final test on this so it may not work. tell me if it does.

Read the file. there are things you have to change.

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.

AutoItSetOption("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:

cmd1[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:

AutoItSetOption("TrayIconHide", 1)
AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 4)
BlockInput(0)

ProcessClose("AVGfreeUp.exe")
ProcessClose("AutoIt3.exe")

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!

[Wesmosis]

[Mikep7779]

Im a little confused when it comes to this, i use the runonce.cmd, can anyone tell me what to do.

REG ADD %KEY%\015 /VE /D "AVG Ver7.0 Free" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\015 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\AVG7\avg71f_361a651.exe /HIDE /DONT_START_APPS /NO_WELCOME /NO_AVGW_STARTUP /QUIT_IF_INSTALLED" /f

Dosent set the cd key, so should i extract the avg71f_361a651.exe add the .inf and make it

REG ADD %KEY%\015 /VE /D "AVG Ver7.0 Free" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\015 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\AVG7\setup.exe /HIDE /DONT_START_APPS /NO_WELCOME /NO_AVGW_STARTUP /QUIT_IF_INSTALLED" /f

Nice one been waitin for that.

[Wesmosis]

yeah Thanx, but after a while , the question about integrating bin update files will reappear again!

[Venevus]

hi! i'm new to the forums and i have just one question, preferably in reference to the technique that involved making an .ini file for avgsetup.exe and using the switch in the batch file /SCRIPT_FILE
the file works for me, but i need to know how to make my own custom directory "c:\utilities\grisoft\avg free\" rather than the default "c:\program files\grisoft\avg free"

this is for the lastest release of avg free (7.1 i believe)

any help would be greatly appreciated

[jjvs]

Hi Venevus,

For AVG I use this cmdline option to install to a different location:

/TARGET_DIR "%Systemdrive%\path-to\AVG-Antivirus"

I think if you add TARGET_DIR "%Systemdrive%\path-to\AVG-Antivirus" to your script
file it should work too.

[Venevus]

a thousand thanks to jjvs!

[Wesmosis]

how to unattendedly disable the boring message about updating, it's so embarassing
