If you are new to this thread, you can avoid confusion by reading this summary first.

So far, there are three methods to silently install NAVPro2004, where you can use only one of them, of course, to do the job.

1- NAV Pro 2004: The Long Breeze!

This method is on this page (page 1) and it's composed of five parts. An improved solution for copying problems is on the next page.

2- NAV Pro 2004: The Short Breeze!

This method is on Page 2. Improved registry issues follow on next pages by other members.

3- NAV Pro 2004: The Final Battle!

This method is on Page 8.

____________
Which one to use?! The last one, of course. I mean "The Final Battle" on page 8. However, I suggest reading other pages to gain more information from all contributing members.
New methods will be listed here when available.
___________________________________________________________

1- NAV Pro 2004: The Long Breeze! - First Method

PART 1 - Collecting files altered after Activation


After activating NAV2004 your way, either on the Internet or by phone, these files are altered accordingly:

Settings.LiveUpdate
Log.LiveUpdate
Product.Catalog.LiveUpdate
2.Settings.LiveUpdate
1.Product.Catalog.LiveUpdate
2.Log.LiveUpdate
1.Settings.LiveUpdate
3.Product.Catalog.LiveUpdate
1.Log.LiveUpdate
3.Settings.LiveUpdate
2.Product.Catalog.LiveUpdate
3.Log.LiveUpdate

They're all found in:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\LiveUpdate\

Also, these files are altered:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\Norton AntiVirus\alert.dat
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\LiveSubscribe\Catalog.LiveSubscribe
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\LiveReg\Catalog.LiveSubscribe
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\CCPD-LC\symlcsys.dll
C:\Program Files\Symantec\LiveUpdate\ludirloc.dat
C:\Program Files\Norton AntiVirus\navopts.dat

As you can see, there are two copies of the file "Catalog.LiveSubscribe" at two different places.

So, as a result of Activation, we have 17 files altered.

Now, create a folder in your "%systemdrive%\Install\ and name it NAV2004. Inside the folder NAV2004, create a folder and name it Silent.
So, the new directory you've created looks like this:
"%systemdrive%\Install\NAV2004\Silent\

Copy the following files from their original directories into the folder "Silent":

1.Log.LiveUpdate
1.Product.Catalog.LiveUpdate
1.Settings.LiveUpdate
2.Log.LiveUpdate
2.Product.Catalog.LiveUpdate
2.Settings.LiveUpdate
3.Log.LiveUpdate
3.Product.Catalog.LiveUpdate
3.Settings.LiveUpdate
Log.LiveUpdate
Product.Catalog.LiveUpdate
Settings.LiveUpdate
symlcsys.dll

A total of 13 files. They all reside in : C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\LiveUpdate\, except symlcsys.dll where you can copy it from C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\CCPD-LC\

EDIT: You're supposed to put your installation files of NAV2004 inside the folder NAV2004, of course!

PART 2 - Preparing the new updated Virus Definitions


Create a foler inside the folder "Silent" and name it incoming.

So, the new directory you've created looks like this:
"%systemdrive%\Install\NAV2004\Silent\incoming\

Download the newest Virus Definitions updator file from Symantec site. Put it in the above folder "incoming".

If the updator file you've downloaded is of type: yyyymmdd-vvv-I32.EXE, extract it using this command (from Start->Run or a command prompt):

"%systemdrive%\Install\NAV2004\Silent\incoming\yyyymmdd-vvv-I32.EXE /DUMP

If the updator file you've downloaded is of type: yyyymmdd-vvv-X86.EXE, extract it using this command (from Start->Run or a command prompt):

"%systemdrive%\Install\NAV2004\Silent\incoming\yyyymmdd-vvv-X86.EXE /EXTRACT

Now, delete the original updator file (yyyymmdd-vvv-I32.EXE or yyyymmdd-vvv-X86.EXE) or move it, because it's no longer needed.

Open the folder "incoming" and move the two files ZDONE.DAT and HH out into the folder "Silent".

So, the folder "Silent" contains these files so far:

incoming (this is a folder)
1.Log.LiveUpdate
1.Product.Catalog.LiveUpdate
1.Settings.LiveUpdate
2.Log.LiveUpdate
2.Product.Catalog.LiveUpdate
2.Settings.LiveUpdate
3.Log.LiveUpdate
3.Product.Catalog.LiveUpdate
3.Settings.LiveUpdate
HH
Log.LiveUpdate
Product.Catalog.LiveUpdate
Settings.LiveUpdate
symlcsys.dll
ZDONE.DAT

PART 3 - The "CD Install key" Registration file and taskkills


Inside the folder "NAV2004", create a Registration Entries file and name it NAVREG.reg
Make sure it's not named to "NAVREG.reg.txt". Open "NAVREG.reg", copy and paste the followoing into it:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\CCPD-LC\KStore\00000082\00000002\00000002]
"Key"="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

Replace the xs with your own "CD Install key". You don't have to put dashes (-) among the digit groups.

Be informed that you'll need to terminate some processes directly after the installation of Norton AntiVirus Professional 2004 is completed.


So, you need to add these strings to your batch file:

taskkill.exe /F /IM cfgwiz.exe
taskkill.exe /F /IM ccApp.exe
taskkill.exe /F /IM symlcsvc.exe (this is added just as a precaution)
taskkill.exe /F /IM ccSetMgr.exe
taskkill.exe /F /IM ccEvtMgr.exe
taskkill.exe /F /IM SAVScan.exe
taskkill.exe /F /IM navapsvc.exe
taskkill.exe /F /IM NPROTECT.EXE

Having done all well so far, this should be your batch file for the part of All-In-One silent installation of Norton AntiVirus Professional 2004. (See it on the following article)

PART 5 - Errors after restarting computer

After rebooting your computer, NAV will open automatically to ask for your settings (this is not a request for Activation).

NAV will report these errors (one at a time):


Exception occurred.
: res://C:\Program Files\Norton AntiVirus\CfgWzRes.dll/CfgWizRoadmap.htm

Norton AntiVirus has encountered an internal program error. Uninstall and re-install Norton AntiVirus.

'SelectFrame' is null or not an object : res://C:\Program Files\Norton AntiVirus\CfgWzRes.dll/CfgWizRoadmap.htm

Simply, close it using the (X) at its window's most upper right corner. Open it again and you're done.
If it persists, reboot your computer and that's it!


Waiting for your comments, I remain.

[mazin]

I tried it many times on my PC and it worked. But, I will review it again for you.

Just give me some time.

[WwTIPPYwW]

i had similar problems. I couldn't get the files to copy over, so I made self extracting archives and use the /s switch to extract & overwrite.

This seems to copy the files over (at least no errors). But upon rebooting, it still requires activation.

Short of a solution, I just added the registration/activation info to a folder on the desktop.

[mazin]

I think it's a problem of perfect copying. If the following solution doesn't solve it all, please give it up! If it does, please let me know.

Assuming you have WinRAR installed on you computer, do the following:

1- Move the two files "HH" and "ZDONE.DAT" back into the folder "incoming".

2- Right-click the folder "incoming". From the WinRAR shortcut menu, click Add to "incoming.rar".

3- Right-click the resulting archive "incoming.rar", and choose "Open". It should open in WinRAR.

4- Hit Alt+x on your keyboard. The SFX tab appears. Press the button "Advanced SFX options".

5- Under the "General" tab, in the field "the Path to extract", type this:

%systemdrive%\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\VirusDefs\

Don't add any quotation marks.

6- Still under the "General" tab, choose "Create in the current folder".

7- Under the "Modes" tab, choose "Hide all" as a silent mode, "Overwrite all files" as an overwrite mode. Press "OK" for the "Advanced SFX options" dialogue box to close.

8- Press "OK" for the other dialogue box to close. Close WinRAR.

You should have a self-extracting archive of name "incoming.exe".


Repeat the steps from 2 through 8 for the file "symlcsys.dll" untill you get "symlcsys.exe".
But, in step 5, change "the Path to extract" to %systemdrive%\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\CCPD-LC\

Using Ctrl+a, highlight the remaining 12 files:

1.Log.LiveUpdate
1.Product.Catalog.LiveUpdate
1.Settings.LiveUpdate
2.Log.LiveUpdate
2.Product.Catalog.LiveUpdate
2.Settings.LiveUpdate
3.Log.LiveUpdate
3.Product.Catalog.LiveUpdate
3.Settings.LiveUpdate
Log.LiveUpdate
Product.Catalog.LiveUpdate
Settings.LiveUpdate

Repeat the steps from 2 through 8 for them together untill you get "Silent.exe".
But, in step 5, change "the Path to extract" to %systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\LiveUpdate\

Move the three resulting files: incoming.exe, symlcsys.exe, and Silent.exe out into the main folder "NAV2004".

Delete the folder "Silent" with all of its contents. Change your batch file to be as follows:

cls
@echo off
ECHO.
ECHO Registering Norton AntiVirus Professional 2004
REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\Install\NAV2004\NAVREG.reg
ECHO.
ECHO Installing Norton AntiVirus Professional 2004

ECHO.

taskkill.exe /F /IM ccApp.exe
taskkill.exe /F /IM symlcsvc.exe

taskkill.exe /F /IM ccEvtMgr.exe
taskkill.exe /F /IM SAVScan.exe
taskkill.exe /F /IM navapsvc.exe
taskkill.exe /F /IM NPROTECT.EXE
ECHO.
ECHO Activating Norton AntiVirus Professional 2004

ECHO.
ECHO Updating Virus Definitions till 25/2/2004
start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\NAV2004\incoming.exe
EXIT

NOTE:
-------

I tried to execute a JavaScript file to undertake the whole process of a fresh installation of NAV2004Pro, but it failed because the ScriptBlocking is enabled by default at the time of installation.

If you have an idea on how to disable it at the time of installation, all headache related to the silent installation of NAV2004Pro will be gone.

[vohinhlangtu]

About Updating Virus definiton, follow me do it better :

-no need create folder name INCOMING

- When you download Download the newest Virus Definitions updater file from Symantec site, after you extract it to a specified folder , you should select & Copy all files in that folder. Then you choose the folder name VirusDef in NAV2004 & OverWrite all files in this folder. During setting up, NAV2004 will automatic update the newest virus def.

[mazin]

The name "incoming" is not obligatory. I named it so to be just informative.

For your convenience, you can extract those files using WinRAR. But I referred to those switches just because they are recommended by Symantec.

Thanks, anyway.

By the way, have you tried my method?

[vohinhlangtu]

Yes, I tried & your method is excellent, tks for your instruction & sharing, but I only want to offer a suggestion to build your method of updating newest virus def. faster & easier. All virus def. files are located in folder name VirusDef of NAV2004, do you agree with me??? If you put all virus def. files there, I think your method is more perfect & concise one.

[mazin]

I agree with you. And, it's really much easier. Thanks for your contribution.

[mazin]

There will be good news in less than 24 hours. A new simpler method!

[mazin]

2- NAV Pro 2004: The Short Breeze! - Second Method

You only need these:

1- symlcsys.exe prepared, after activation, as mentioned above.

2- A registry file for "CD Install key" as mentioned earlier, NAVREG.reg:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\CCPD-LC\KStore\00000082\00000002\00000002]

3- A registry file for activation, NAVACT.reg, which is new here:

4- Updater file of virus definitions.

You can use my method of incoming.exe that was mentioned earlier.
Instead, you can extract the updater with WinRAR where you put the extracted files inside the folder "VIRUSDEF" that is included with setup files of NAV 2004.

Extracted files should overwrite files contained in "VIRUSDEF" folder. A method that was referred to by vohinhlangtu and I think it is much more easier.

Prepared with files above, this should be your batch:

cls
@echo off
ECHO.
ECHO Registering Norton AntiVirus Professional 2004
REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\Install\NAV2004\NAVREG.reg
ECHO.
ECHO Installing Norton AntiVirus Professional 2004
ECHO Please wait...
start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\NAV2004\NAVSETUP.EXE /O REBOOT=ReallySuppress /QB
ECHO.
ECHO Killing the Configuration Wizard of NAV 2004 and its processes
taskkill.exe /F /IM cfgwiz.exe
taskkill.exe /F /IM ccApp.exe
taskkill.exe /F /IM symlcsvc.exe
taskkill.exe /F /IM ccSetMgr.exe
taskkill.exe /F /IM ccEvtMgr.exe
taskkill.exe /F /IM SAVScan.exe
taskkill.exe /F /IM navapsvc.exe
taskkill.exe /F /IM NPROTECT.EXE
ECHO.
ECHO Activating Norton AntiVirus Professional 2004
start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\NAV2004\symlcsys.exe
REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\Install\NAV2004\NAVACT.reg
ECHO.
ECHO Updating Virus Definitions till xx/xx/2004
start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\NAV2004\incoming.exe
EXIT

If you follow vohinhlangtu 's idea, delete this part from your batch:

ECHO Updating Virus Definitions till xx/xx/2004
start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\NAV2004\incoming.exe

I hope it all goes well. Drop me a line if you find it useful.

[vohinhlangtu]

Wow, it sounds interesting, I'll try right now. Dear Mazin, I wonder the regkey

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\CCPD\SuiteOwners\{635C12B5-75D4-44c3-97F1-598CA9123967}]
@="C:\\Program Files\\Norton AntiVirus\\AVSTE.dll"
"Alternate Activation"="C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Symantec

those're absolute path & but incase Windows XP was setup on the partition specified by user ?, not C:, may be D:, E: ... ???. How do I modify that correctly. Do I create REG_ EXPAND_SZ key like that : "%systemdrive%\Progarm Files...".
Tks for your instruction in advance.

[mazin]

Absolute paths in reg keys is a known problem. I really don't have a solution for this. I think nobody else has!

Sorry!

[vohinhlangtu]

Yeah !!!, I have tested 3 times & found out the answer to my wonder

We no need to put the key in NAVACT.reg

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\CCPD\SuiteOwners]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\CCPD\SuiteOwners\{635C12B5-75D4-44c3-97F1-598CA9123967}]
@="C:\\Program Files\\Norton AntiVirus\\AVSTE.dll"
"Alternate Activation"="C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Symantec Shared\\CfgWiz.exe /GUID NAV"
"LicenseType"=dword:00000000
"Description"="Norton AntiVirus"

& this doesn't cause any trouble for registering NAV2004. I see that during setting up, NAV automatically creates the key in regedit.exe as the same.

Mazin, tks for your new method - an excellent one & nothing is better
