Hello!

I have a problem installing these programs. I just want to install them silently so I use these commands in my RunOnceEx.cmd

Quote

REG ADD %KEY%\009 /VE /D "Norton Internet Security 2005" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\009 /V 1 /D "%SystemDrive%\Install\NIS2005\SYMSETUP.EXE /O REBOOT=ReallySuppress /qb" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\010 /VE /D "Norton SystemWorks 2005" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /D "%SystemDrive%\Install\NSWP2005\NSWSETUP.EXE /O REBOOT=ReallySuppress /qb" /f

It installs the Norton Internet Security 2005 silently. No problem with that. The problem is when the installation of Norton SystemWorks 2005 starts, it says

Quote

Setup has detected that a previous Install or Uninstall has been completed but requires a restart.  Please restart your computer then launch setup again.

What command should I add in between them? Or.. is it really not possible to install these two programs without a restart in between? Thanks.

It does look that way. Both the two are extremely bloated, and so require re-boot in-between.

But I see two things:
1. Use the "/QB" switch - "/O" alone is not enough.
2. Deleting the NAV folder (and related objects) from NIS 2005 install, might help. Because it gets installed through NSW as well. So maybe that conflict is what forces a re-boot.

So what is the exact command that I have to use? I don't it get it. Do I have to change

[/CODE][/QUOTE]REG ADD %KEY%\009 /VE /D "Norton Internet Security 2005" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /D "%SystemDrive%\Install\NSWP2005\NSWSETUP.EXE /O REBOOT=ReallySuppress /qb" /f

Is that what you are trying to say?

If it requires reboot in between the two installation, can I just insert a reboot command in between them? After rebooting, will it continue installing Norton Systemworks? What command exatly is it?

Hi!

Well!

AFAIK, this problem is related to temporary files and folders thrown to your %TEMP% directory by NIS and NSW at the time of installation.

The second program you install finds those temporary files and folders which were expected to be deleted.

Therefore, I think deleting all contents of the %TEMP% directory is a possible solution.

You can execute the following batch after the the first installation completes and before the second installation begins.

deltemp said:

cls
@echo off
ECHO Deleting temporary files and folders
del %TEMP%\*.*
RD /S /Q %TEMP%\
EXIT

Please, post back whether it works or not.

[totoymola]

I think thats a good idea. I'll try it now. Thanks!

[mazin]

There are always ideas. Do not worry.

RD /S /Q %TEMP%\
EXIT

In a way, it works. It lets the installation of NSW begin. However, I encountered two problems after using this.

First, when the command above starts, the command prompt pops up and says:

Quote

Deleting temprorary files and folders
C:\DOCUME~1\Testing\LOCALS~1\Temp\*.*, Are you sure (Y/N)?

This makes the installation not unattended.

Second, when the NSW installation begins, it automatically starts the pre-installation virus scan. Please see the picture below.

I waited for an hour but it never stopped, so the installation did not continue. Im using this command in my runonceex.cmd

Quote

REG ADD %KEY%\012 /VE /D "Norton Internet Security 2005" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\012 /V 1 /D "%SystemDrive%\Install\NIS2005\SYMSETUP.EXE /O REBOOT=ReallySuppress /qb" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\012 /V 2 /D "%SystemDrive%\Install\NIS2005\deltemp.cmd" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\013 /VE /D "Norton SystemWorks 2005" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\013 /V 1 /D "%SystemDrive%\Install\NSW2005\NSWSETUP.EXE /O REBOOT=ReallySuppress /qb" /f

Is there a switch that I can use to prevent the pre-installation virus scan form starting automatically?

I'll try to delete the NAV folder inside the NSW installation files, like prathapml said.

Please, add this line to your batch:

Quote

cls
@echo off
ECHO Deleting temporary files and folders
attrib -r %TEMP%\*.*
del %TEMP%\*.*
RD /S /Q %TEMP%\
EXIT

Doing so, you won't have "Are you sure (Y/N)?" showing up.

I'm afraid deleting NAV folder inside NSW installation files can make NSW complain. However, you can try it and see what happens.

[totoymola]

Ok, I'll try that. But is there any way to skip the pre-installation scan?

Thanks!

[totoymola]

Its still not working.. It still asks me if I really want to delete the temorary files.. And the installation of NSW doesn't continue too..

[mazin]

Well! No problem. You can add /y to the del command:

Quote

cls
@echo off
ECHO Deleting temporary files and folders
attrib -r %TEMP%\*.*
del %TEMP%\*.* /y
RD /S /Q %TEMP%\
EXIT

Also, add CHECKPREV=0 to command line of NSW. So, it won't check if NAV was installed with NIS. Your command line for installing NSW becomes: /qb /O CHECKPREV=0 REBOOT=ReallySuppress

I hope this helps.

[totoymola]

Wow! This is a new one. Im really excited to try this. Thanks mazin!

[jambocool]

Any progress?

[totoymola]

Still no luck on this.. The NSW installation always gets stucked while initializing..

[Astalavista]

why not have windows xp reboot then, and install NSW2005 on the next boot.

[totoymola]

Because in my experience, when the computer restarts, the installation gets corrupted.

[Orsi]

well, one soluction may be another RunOnceEx be executed just after NIS instalation is finished, so Windows will restart and install NSW

@MAZIN

For Deleting temporary files and folders We need Only :

CLS
@echo off
ECHO Deleting temporary files and folders
RD /S /Q %TEMP%\
EXIT

The
RD /S "DirName" : Deletes files and folders inside "DirName" and DirName also.
/Q : for quiet mode.

Finaly %TEMP% must be created after (If it was really supressed ".dat inside" !) :

We need to add : MD %TEMP%

Have a nice Day @mazin

[mazin]

@ALiAS_2004

You're definitely right. The reason why I used that combination is that I tried RD stuff and it ketp asking for confirmatin. I don't know why.

But, we don't need to re-create %TEMP% folder again. The slash after %TEMP%\ means deleting objects inside TEMP folder, not the TEMP folder itself.

Thanks and have a good day.

@totoymola

You can wait for less than two weeks (if no solution works). I've got a friend who has those apps on his PC. I'll visit him to see if I can do some attempts on his machine.
