@ Bashrat

can you enlighten us? this is the method i use at the moment, works fine, so what's the difference? or are you on about the RUNLIVEUPDATE=1 switch? the reason i use virindi's method is that the computer may not be hooked up to network/internet at that point.

No I don't mean the Liveupdate option!

Copying an .xdb file
You can update any Symantec AntiVirus server or client by downloading the .xdb file from Symantec. You can also copy an .xdb file from the \SAV folder on any Symantec AntiVirus server. The modified date of the .xdb file matches the date of the virus definitions. When using this method, RTVSCAN.EXE checks for new .xdb files, and then initiates the update process. RTVSCAN.EXE checks for new .xdb files about every 10 minutes by default. Restarting (stopping and then starting) the Symantec AntiVirus Server process can be used to manually initiate the update process if you do not want to wait.

      To download an .xdb file from Symantec
      1. Go to the xdb folder on the Symantec FTP site. (You can also find the file from the Symantec Security Response Virus Definitions Download Page.)
      2. Click the .xdb file with the latest date, and select "Save to disk" from the dialog box.
      3. If the .xdb file downloads with a .zip extension, remove the .zip extension by renaming the file. The file name should be similar to the following: vd12bc02.xdb
      4. Copy the .xdb file to the appropriate destination, depending on the version of Symantec AntiVirus and the operating system:
                o For NetWare servers, the default location is SYS:SAV.
                o For Windows servers, the default is C:\Program Files\SAV\.
                o For Windows 2000/XP clients, the default is C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition\7.5\.
                  Note: The Application Data folder may be hidden. To show hidden and system folders, read the document How to show hidden files and protected operating system files in Windows.
                o For Windows NT 4.0 clients, the default is C:\WinNT\Profiles\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition\7.5\.
                o For Windows 98/Me clients, the default is C:\Program Files\Symantec_Client_Security\Symantec AntiVirus\.

      Automatically updating definitions using the .xdb file
      Symantec provides a batch file that you can schedule to update the definitions with the latest .xdb file. This batch file automatically downloads and extracts the latest .xdb file from a statically named executable (Navup8.exe), and copies the .xdb file to the appropriate location. For more information, read the document How to automatically update Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition 8.x definitions without using LiveUpdate.

http://service1.symantec.com/support/ent-s...002103012571948

Why is this better than both?

better than intelligent update: not manual
better than liveupdate: daily updates, liveupdate weekly, sometimes more

How to install the program "OnlineCounter 2004" silently?!

1.) Unpack the original installation package which you downloaded from the homepage before into a new folder. (This can be done with Winrar for example.) As a result there'll be a new setup.exe and some cab-files.

2.) Just call this setup.exe and use the following command line: "setup.exe /s log.txt"

Hints:
- The /s-switch will perform an unattended installation and a small log-file will be created in the same directory as the setup.exe.

- If you want to change the default installation directory, just edit the file "Setup.lst" according your needs.

- Obviously there's no official way to suppress the display of the installation routine while performing the installation. But at least one can suppress dialog boxes.

- If an error occurs during installation, you're displayed an error message and the installation process in no longer silent.

- If there are any problems, just open the "log.txt" from above and you may find out what went wrong.

Another stuff:
- OnlineCounter is a very nice German program for recording your online-times and keep an eye on your online-budget.

- This posting doesn't include how to set up the registry keys and so on.

K-Lite codec Pack
Guide for creating a custom silent installation for one of the K-Lite codec packs

STEP 1: Create a file called silent.inf with the following contents:

[Setup]
Lang=en
Dir=C:\Program Files\K-Lite Codec Pack
Group=K-Lite Codec Pack
NoIcons=0
Components=mpclassic, divxdec, divx, xviddec, xvid, 3ivxdec, 3ivx, wmv, vp3, vp6dec, indeo, indeo4, indeo32, msmpeg4, mp3audio, wmaaudio, ac3audio, oggvorbis, aac, musepack, voxware, ape, mp3lame, gspot, fourcc, disg400, disffdshow

Dir is the path of the destination folder. If you leave out this line, then it will install into the default folder.
Group is the name of the program group that will be created in your startmenu. If you leave out this line, then it will use the default groupname.
When you set NoIcons to 1, then no group will be created in your startmenu.
Components is a comma-separated list of the components that you want to be installed. If you leave out this line, then it will use the default settings for the components list.

Note: The reason why the settings.inf file is used is because command line calls are limited to 256 characters. And because of the long components list that will lead to problems when you include the components parameter in the command line call.

STEP 2: Put the silent.inf file in the same folder as the installer

STEP 3: Now you can perform a silent installation with the following command line call:
INSTALLERFILENAME /silent /loadinf=".\silent.inf"

PS. the full list of component names for the various packages can be found on http://www.k-litecodecpack.com/ --> tips & tricks section

And for gaim spell check support using aspell:

Aspell English Dictionary: [Removed]

- Aspell-0-50-3-3-Setup.exe /silent
- Aspell-en-0.50-2-3.exe /silent

Note: This is not the original installer for the english module. The original sucks and has no silent install. In fact, it is a wrapper to an installer that does have the silent option, but you have to do much to get it working the way you want. So, I re-wrote the installer. The source can be found in Aspell-en-0.50-2-3-Marticus.zip at the above URL. I hope it works for you.

More to come...

Regarding Bastian's December post on installing PuTTY, using the /SP- switch as mentioned on the same page he linked will skip the question. There is no need for the autoit script. The application was packaged using Inno's software, and thus all of these switches are supported: /sp- /silent /norestart

Installing PuTTY:
- putty-0.54-installer.exe /sp- /silent

http://unattended.so...installers.html

Also note /verysilent does not incorporate /norestart as is proven in the case of FilZip 3.0.1 which -does- require a reboot. Use /sp- /silent /norestart instead.

GhostScript & GhostView

These two have given me fits for awhile now. However, I think I have finally discovered and bypassed the underlying problem. Although there is probably a better solution than mine, it has thus far worked reliably.

Note: the following procedure is the same for both programs

STEP 1: Use a program such as WinZip to extract the contents of the exe file to a
directory of your choosing.

STEP 2: Change directories (cd\ command) to the root of the drive on which the
program is to be installed.

STEP 3: Change directories to the location of your program setup file.

STEP 4: Call your program setup file followed by the install path.

Changing directories to the actual location of the program setup file before invoking the setup file seems to be the key. If you use the same exact syntax but do not first cd to the proper directory(instead invoking it with path included), the program setup begins, but errors out complaining about failing to open "filelist.txt". For some reason, cd'ing to the directory of the setup file before invoking the setup, seems to do the trick.

ECHO Installing GhostScript
ECHO Please wait...
cd\
cd install\applications\ghostscript
start /wait setupgs.exe %systemdrive%\gs
ECHO.

ECHO Installing GhostView
ECHO Please wait...
cd\
cd install\applications\ghostview
start /wait setup.exe %systemdrive%\gv
ECHO.

Microsoft Virtual PC 2004

Syntax
Setup.exe [-s] -v"[-qn]pidkey=pidkeynumber[allusers=2][username=user][organization=organizationname] [installdir=directoryname]"

Parameters

Important
All parameters that follow the -v parameter must be included in quotes without spaces in between.

-s
Instructs the setup program to run without displaying the user interface.

-v
Passes parameters directly to the installer program, msiexec.exe.

-qn
Instructs the installer program, msiexec.exe, to run without displaying the user interface.

pidkey=pidkeynumber
Specifies the unique product key number required to perform the installation.

allusers=2
Installs Virtual PC for all users on the machine. If you do not include this parameter, the program is installed for the current user only.

username=user
Specifies a user name to associate with the installation. If you do not include this parameter, the installer program retrieves the name of the current user from the registry.

organization=organizationname
Specifies an organization name to associate with the installation. If you do not include this parameter, the installer program retrieves the name of the organization associated with the current user from the registry.

installdir=directoryname
Specifies a custom directory in which to install the program. If you do not include this parameter, the program is installed in \Program files.


Examples
The following example shows how to perform a silent installation and make the program accessible to all users on the computer. A silent installation means the setup program runs without prompting you for input. Type:

Setup.exe -s -v"-qnpidkey=pidkeynumberallusers=2"

for daemon tools 3.46 get the .msi then
start /w freeware\daemontools3.46\daemon.msi /qn REBOOT=ReallySuppress

works great..no reboot...albeit daemon tools won't show up until you get around to rebooting it though.
