im currently running a new scan because perhaps the error of the previous program instal may of voided out my norton utilities. i was trying to instal msn 6.2 with out extrating the files but had a bad syntax command for some reason, but now ive went back to my old way, and im testing it now because the way i had norton set up was after msn 6.2 and msg plus 3, well when the error happened it didnt instal msn 6.2 or plus nor norton, it went straight to the end on my clean up and reboot, very strange,,

well im testing it now ill post back what happens but still any ideals would be appreciated..

thanks

/REBOOT=Suppress --> REBOOT=Suppress

[Lost Soul]

im not sure i understand do you mean use this whole line as my switch /REBOOT=Suppress --> REBOOT=Suppress or just use the second part with out a back slash ?

[Lost Soul]

well i think you mean with out the back slash but do you really think thats the problem ?

[mazin]

Sorry for confusion. The back slash is causing the problem. Delete the back slash.

Is it called back slash or forward slash

Well! Delete the SLASH only

Instead of this: Setup.exe /qn /Reboot=Suppress
Use this: Setup.exe /qn Reboot=Suppress

ok gotcha ill give it a try thanks

I had a similar problem with Norton Internet Security. I was using the same switches you are. I eventually dropped the reboot portion of it and disabled my clean up and reboot cmd. It worked great after that, for some reason Norton doesn't reboot after the install. Worked out in the end anyway. This is what I ended up going with;

REG ADD %KEY%\055 /VE /D "Norton Internet Security 2003" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\055 /V 1 /D "%cdrom%\Applications\NIS03\NIS.exe /qn" /f

For some reason my clean up and reboot.cmd was rebooting before the Norton install was able to complete.

I have now re-enabled my clean up file and it appears to work ok on VMware.

yeah ... NAVPro2004 doesn't need the Reboot switch either. I don't know if NSW needs it. However, the correct switch is Reboot=Suppress without a slash.

well i tested it and it seems to instal just fine now thank you for all your help
