a hint- AV should be installed last.

[WwTIPPYwW]

still didn't work right (the shortcuts were on c:\ and not in the docu\settings area) - but I admit I was tweaking the bat file significantly.

I just went ahead and used InstallRite - not only does it cut the install file down in 1/2, but it is completely silent, pre-registered, and some configurations settings made!

can you share more info about InstallRite please

@WwTIPPYwW i'm interested too

InstallRite -

http://www.epsilonsquared.com/installrite.htm

It is an application that takes a snapshot before installation and after installation and then compares the two to determine what has been done.

install InstallRite on your test XP box. Run it, let it get a snapshot. Then install Outpost. When it comes back up after hitting cancel to reboot, it will take another snapshot.

Then you can review the installation and clean things up. You'll need to review it and only select the real changes made by the install. There will be some things that appear that is just from Windows being Windows.

Once you've got the install cleaned up, and before creating your custom installer, you can run your register.exe and update the file. (this way, when the custom installer is made, it will have the fixed dll).

Also, if instead, when you hit cancel to reboot, and the InstallRite screen re-appears, say you aren't done. You can start Outpost (it will create a few files when you start it!) and you can go in and configure some of the settings, disable the auto-update, downloading of news, plugins, etc. When done click on the icon in the corner to get back the Install Rite screen. Then you can go in and clean your installation.

Once you are ready to create a custom installer - it will let you make it silent, and it will allow you to wildcard the location of the installer. So if your test XP is different than you real XP, or your users, then it will put the files in the right folders.

This program can be used for many installtions. The custom installers can sometimes be smaller. Just make sure to (1) clean your install before making it (lots of junk can get bundled in) and (2) test it.

Use Virtual PC or VMware and use the snapshot feature to quickly go to a clean Windows.

i tried to follow home made steps with regshot but too many keys are changed/added... i'll try installrite on next reboot, thanks

[SiMoNsAyS]

i finally did the **** thing!! i have use installrite and it appears to work...

[prathapml]

Ah good! So you put the install in its place.

[SiMoNsAyS]

f**** the **** outpost !!!! this thread it's not finished yet. i used installrite and everything was ok with my current os but on unattended installation it's useless (because of many services that aren't added). now i start from scratch. i have to kill a process "GLB2.tmp" or use a vbs script to clic cancel restart. the switch REALLYREBOOT does not help and don't know why puts the shortcuts on C:\.

Quote

start /wait %CDROM%\Software\OutPost\OutpostPro.exe
pskill.exe GLB2.tmp

would work?
i know there is somewhere in the forum an utility to find apps switches but i can find the tool
any more ideas?

I send keys for the languages instead of "clicking" like you do. I don't have the script here at work but if the first language higlited is english, then you need to send 3 times the "down arrow" key ({DOWN}{DOWN}{DOWN} or something like this. I know there is a "switch" like 3x{DOWN} but I don't know it by hart)

Quick Guide to Silent Install Agnitum Outpost Pro Firewall 2.11

1.-Starting...
First we need AutoIt application that can be downloaded from here. Current version it's 3.0.102 (4th Aug, 2004).
2.-AutoIt Script...

;this is language depending, this  4 keystrokes select spanish.
;if yours it's not spanish you will need to change the title and keystrokes for windows and buttons.
;thanks to nateklomp and big_gie : )
WinWaitActive("Select Language")

WinWaitActive("Se ha completado la instalación")
Send("F")
;the most important on the installation. cancel the reboot now window.
WinWaitActive("Instalar")
ControlClick("Instalar","Cancelar","Button3")
EXIT

Save the above code to a .txt file and rename it to .au3
3.-Compiling...
Finally we're going to compile our AutoIt script. Search for a folder on AutoIt directory called "Aut2Exe".
After running the compiler select your .aut (.au3) script, then imput the name of the .exe file that you like (must be in the same Outpost folder). Leave everything and press "Convert".
4.-Finish...
Add the entry of the compiled .exe file to your .cmd file.
5.-Final notes...
For this exact script to work you'll need:

• Name of installer have to be OutpostProInstall.exe
  
• AutoIt compiled .exe have to be in the same directory of OutpostProInstall.exe
  
• Must be installed before any antiviral software

It's easy to develop an AutoIt Script, take the code as a base to yours. Good Luck!

Untested, please be gentle...

Tried with a couple of Autoit scripts myself but yours seems to be the best so far but still not installing yet? It basically stalls at the licence agreement?

[nateklomp]

OK, here's the final ENGLISH VERSION installer from my unattended XPCD:

; AutoIt Version:  3.0.102
; Language:  English
; Platform:  Win9x / NT
; Author:  nateklomp
; Script Function:  Install Agnitum Outpost Firewall Professional v2.1.303.314 
Run("outpost.exe")
Sleep(5000)
WinWaitActive("Welcome")
WinActivate("Welcome")
ControlClick("Welcome","","Button1")
WinActivate("License Agreement for Outpost Firewall 2.1")
ControlClick("License Agreement for Outpost Firewall 2.1","","Button3")
WinActivate("License Agreement for Outpost Firewall 2.1")
ControlClick("License Agreement for Outpost Firewall 2.1","","Button1")
WinWaitActive("Read Me File")
WinActivate("Read Me File")
ControlClick("Read Me File","","Button1")
WinWaitActive("Choose Destination Location")

WinWaitActive("Start Installation")
WinActivate("Start Installation")
ControlClick("Start Installation","","#327701")
ControlClick("Start Installation","","Button1")

WinWaitActive("Auto-configuration")
WinActivate("Auto-configuration")
ControlClick("Auto-configuration","","Button1")
WinWaitActive("Application")
WinActivate("Application")
ControlClick("Application","","Button6")
WinActivate("Application")
ControlClick("Application","","Button1")
WinWaitActive("Network")
WinActivate("Network")
ControlClick("Network","","Button6")
WinActivate("Network")
ControlClick("Network","","Button1")
WinWaitActive("Installation Complete")
WinActivate("Installation Complete")
ControlClick("Installation Complete","","Button1")
WinWaitActive("Install")
WinActivate("Install")
ControlClick("Install","","Button3")
EXIT

You can also silently reg with this key (s/n removed of course):

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Agnitum\Outpost Firewall]
"Key"="-"

I've also attached the compiled EXE--change OutpostProInstall.exe to outpost.exe and run in the same dir (or in an SFX).
I've tested it, this one's been working for me.
Good Luck!

Attached File(s)

•  OutpostProInstaller.exe (86.96K)
  Number of downloads: 113
