Hi Everyone,

I've found some switches for ZoneAlarm which seems to allow you to add your licence key and your config file. Not sure it'll work. I'm going to it myself

[PATH_to_exe]\zasetupXX_XXX.exe /s /i /noreboot /lickey lwqe95jkdghb03... [PATH_to_config_file]\config.xml

The "/lickey" switch allows you to specify your license key; separate the switch from the key with a space. Leave another space after the key if you're going to use a configuration file.

I works with some of ZoneLabs the other products

I am trying to do the same for the zonealarm Suite 50_590_043 but the /lickey switch doesn't seem to work. any help?

[sweetpatou]

ok try this.

install once.

copy the zonelabs registry entry you need to configure za

copy this file ---> Windows\System32\zllictbl.dat (this is your licence file!)

then the sequence is (correct the syntax yourself )

copy zllictbl.dat to system32
zaSuiteSetup.exe /s /noreboot
regedit your preferences

working for me.....

[T-boy]

my bad. I was inputting the wrong sn. thanks thou. one other question... which file contains my preferences and configured application? I will like to copy them over to the new install.

Same product slightly non-relevant but may be useful info =>

I have noticed that ZoneAlarm uses .zap files to install it's components, found by looking in the program files installed folder.

May be possible to install and modify settings by using GPO to apply to all / some stations if your on a network

Did you hypens in the serial ?

You can backup your security settings in the preferences tab under overview. I will save you settings in a *.xml file which should work with a new install if you use the switches I provided earlier.

thx, works perfect!!!

[sweetpatou]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Zone Labs]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Zone Labs]

export then edit those to keep just the essentials

import them after installing za
REGEDIT /S %Path%\zappref.reg

[glent]

used this method for a while now from my runocne and its worked great now that im using a differenet user acount name it say its cannot find the config file any ideas?

[Dynamite]

I'm afraid the '[PATH_to_config_file]\config.xml' doesn’t work for me, not perfectly anyway. It opens IE and SP2's popup blocker warning, but the config is set correctly, once I've closed IE manualy!
anybody any ideas?

Edit 06.11.2004 OK I've put the config.xml file inside the Zone alarm folder
$OEM$\$1\Install\Applications\ZoneAlarm\
and it's picked up automatically

[prathapml]

Hey, does anybody have an idea what to do when you have ZA Security Suite, and you want to disable the firewall component in silent mode?

[muiz]

I had to use this to let ZA autostart with windows :

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\vsdatant\Parameters]
"TdiEnable"=dword:00000003

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\vsmon]
"Start"=dword:00000002

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"Zone Labs Client"="\"C:\\Program Files\\Zone Labs\\ZoneAlarm\\zlclient.exe\""

But since the latest version, i get a BSOD during setup VSDATANT.SYS ERROR

And where do i find the xml and where do i place it?

[Ctwizzy]

Ok ive been trying this with

%cdrom%\Software\ZoneAlarm\zapSetup_55_062_011.exe /s /i /noreboot /lickey XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX %cdrom%\Software\ZoneAlarm\config.xml

it installs silently, but does not register it. Ive tried time and time again, no registering. Whats the problem? Should I take out the -'s in my code?

[muiz]

why didnt you answered my question?
i asked where to find the xml, and i see that you use the xml.

You have to "make" the config.xml yourself.

Open ZA and go to: Overview->Preferences->Backup and restore security settings->Backup

[Ctwizzy]

In the pro version you can export your settings to a .xml file. Thats how you make it.

[Ben.Hahlen]

Ok, the syntax for ZA Security Suite (Tried and tested a lot of times):

REG ADD %KEY%\006 /VE /D "ZoneAlarm Security Suite" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\006 /V 1 /D "%INSPATH%\006_zone_alarm\za_suite_setup.exe /s /i /noreboot /lickey XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX %INSPATH%\006_zone_alarm\settings.xml" /f

It's in RunOnceEx, the %INSPATH% is a variable I created myself.
Note: Don't use the "-" from the licensekey.

[Ctwizzy]

Ah thanks, was about to test my uA again without the "-" in the licensekey, glad to know im doing it right before hand.

Thanks!

vsdatant.sys......error zonealarm

[Jeroeneke]

Some life again here,

I have a problem with the newest ZoneAlarm (6.5.700.000). The installation hangs after installing... I have to reset my pc, then Zonealarm seems to be installed, but I'm not able to run it, I get this error: "Can't get access to the file. Possible you don't have permissons for this item" (translated from dutch).

Is it possible the installation is bugged ? Because I had problems with installing on my PC too (normal installation). I had to do a real clean install to get it work!

strange thing is, an unattended installation is a CLEAN install so I'm wondering why it doesn't work... :s

Hopes somebody can help me!

thx!
