thank you all!

i suggest a .sfx because even removing component files were 70MB...

26 with a RAR, a bit slower but a lot less space

thanks

I found a way to register, activate, AND run the wizard that come's after the NAV2005 Setup silently.
So I thought: "Lets share it with all the people on msfn"

So Here's the way to make the wizard disappear.

First of all. You need to install NAV2005
Second, Run the wizard, by a dubbelclick on the trayicon.
third, reboot and boot in safemode.
fourth, Copy all files and directory's below to a empty directory of your choice. I advise something like C:\NAV-WIZ\
Make sure you use the same structure as below. So copy these directory's also. Not only the files.

"%ProgramFiles%\Norton AntiVirus\CfgWiz.dat"
"%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Symantec Shared\CCPD-LC\symlcrst.dll "
"%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Symantec Shared\IDS\"
"%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Symantec Shared\SymcData\"
"%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Symantec\LiveSubscribe\"

--------------------------------------------------------------
Make your C:\NAV-WIZ\ dir look like this one.
--------------------------------------------------------------

C:\NAV-WIZ\CfgWiz.dat 
C:\NAV-WIZ\navkey.reg       (made by yourself, not a copy-paste, explain later)
C:\NAV-WIZ\CCPD-LC\symlcrst.dll 

C:\NAV-WIZ\IDS\IDSSettg.dat 

C:\NAV-WIZ\LiveSubscribe\Catalog.LiveSubscribe

C:\NAV-WIZ\SymcData\ids-diskless\definfo.dat 
C:\NAV-WIZ\SymcData\ids-diskless\usage.dat 

C:\NAV-WIZ\SymcData\ids-diskless\BinHub\catalog.dat 
C:\NAV-WIZ\SymcData\ids-diskless\BinHub\metadata.dat 
C:\NAV-WIZ\SymcData\ids-diskless\BinHub\symidsco.sys 
C:\NAV-WIZ\SymcData\ids-diskless\BinHub\symidsco.vxd 
C:\NAV-WIZ\SymcData\ids-diskless\BinHub\SymIDSI.dll 
C:\NAV-WIZ\SymcData\ids-diskless\BinHub\v.grd 
C:\NAV-WIZ\SymcData\ids-diskless\BinHub\v.sig 
C:\NAV-WIZ\SymcData\ids-diskless\BinHub\virscan1.dat 
C:\NAV-WIZ\SymcData\ids-diskless\BinHub\zdone.dat

--------------------------------------------------------------

fifth, Reboot in normal mode.
sixth, Move the contents of your NAV-WIZ directory to X:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\Install\Applications\NAV2005\NAV-WIZ\
seventh, Create a start_II.cmd in X:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\Install\

--------------------------------------------------------------
Make your start_II.cmd dir look like this one.
--------------------------------------------------------------

ECHO.
ECHO Copy All files to deactivate Nortons wizard.
XCOPY /Y    "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Install\Applications\NAV2005\NAV-WIZ\CfgWiz.dat"    "%ProgramFiles%\Norton AntiVirus\"
XCOPY /Y /E "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Install\Applications\NAV2005\NAV-WIZ\SymcData"      "%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Symantec Shared\SymcData\"
XCOPY /Y /E "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Install\Applications\NAV2005\NAV-WIZ\IDS"           "%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Symantec Shared\IDS\"
XCOPY /Y /E "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Install\Applications\NAV2005\NAV-WIZ\LiveSubscribe" "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Symantec\LiveSubscribe\"

ECHO.
ECHO Done.

EXIT

--------------------------------------------------------------

eight, Put the lines below, at the end of your start.cmd

--------------------------------------------------------------
The end of start.cmd.
--------------------------------------------------------------

ECHO.
ECHO Place some keys in the register, for the finishing touch.
REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx /V TITLE /D "Unattended XP v2005" /f
REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx\050 /VE /D  "Continuing silent installs" /f
REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx\050 /V 1 /D "CMD.exe /C \"%systemdrive%\install\start_II.cmd\"" /f

ECHO Rebooting...
shutdown.exe -r -f -t 15 -c "Windows XP will now restart for a second installation progress."

--------------------------------------------------------------

ninth, I'll gues you all know the navkey.reg, but for the one that doesn't, here it is.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Make your navkey.reg look like this. (replace the Xes by your serial)
--------------------------------------------------------------

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\CCPD-LC\KStore\00000082\0000000f\0000001b]
"Key"="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"

--------------------------------------------------------------

And the final step.
thenth, Put these line's into your setup.cmd otherwise NAV2005 won't be installed at all

--------------------------------------------------------------
Place this somewhere in your setup.cmd file.
--------------------------------------------------------------

ECHO.
ECHO Installing Norton AntiVirus 2005
ECHO Please wait...

MKDIR "%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Symantec Shared\CCPD-LC"
REGEDIT /S "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Install\Applications\NAV2005\NAV-WIZ\navkey.reg"
XCOPY /Y /E "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Install\Applications\NAV2005\NAV-WIZ\CCPD-LC" "%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Symantec Shared\CCPD-LC\"
start /wait %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Install\Applications\NAV2005\NAVSETUP.exe "/qb /noreboot REBOOT=ReallySuppress" 

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

--------------------------------------------------------------

You're done!
NOTE: Now setup runs as folow's.
Create directory %ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Symantec Shared\CCPD-LC
Ad navkey.reg to your register.
Copy symlcrst.dll to the created directory.
Install NAV2005
Reboot
Copy a lot of files, to make the wizard disapear.
Now there's just one little problem. Norton Worm Protection seems to be broken. BUT!, after you run liveupdate it's fixed!
So just run liveupdate once your unattended install is completed.

Hope you all can understand my first tutorial. If not... just ask.

Great guide GK!
So now it is possible to have the entire NAV-thing done totally silent.

[BBQmyNUTZ]

Anyone else having an issue with NAV2005 asking for you to activate again if you're using a symlcrst.dll file that was activated on a previous date?

I activated on the 11th, at around 10 o'clock. Did a test install about a half hour later and it worked fine. Did a run after 12am, and it asked to be activated.

Kai

[Astalavista]

What about a Guide for Norton Internet Security 2005 as well.

[reni]

BBQmyNUTZ:

Having the same problem. Installed it on my first pc. Everything was fine and activate was already done. Installing it to a second one. And hat one is asking for a activation again.

strange.......

[GateKeaper]

Hmm... strange, I tested in VMWare and it works just fine. But i installed on my laptop this evening. and got the same problem as you guys did.
Had to reactivate after an second update.

I'll try to find the problem as soon as posible... Sorry for the problems and incomplete unattended wizard "solution"

[www2000]

Not only is it asking to re-activate, when you do, it throws the expiration date the same as when you first installed the application.

So if 3 months from now I use this DVD, I'll only have 9 months before it expires.

Are you referring to virus defs subscription?
If so, its expected behaviour. Keep in mind that it can only be used on the same machine where it was activated, and that all other info will get carried over too.

[jrf2027]

Just a thought here...

Of the several of you who are having problems with the symlcrst.dll file...how are you grabbing the file? Are you installing and activating NAV, then deleting it and retrieving the file, or are you booting into Windows using safe mode and retrieving the file?

Are you installing symlcrst.dll to the expected location before or after NAV is installed?

Also, as far as the activation date for the new installation being the same as the original activation date, is this on a new, clean installation of Windows, or reinstalling NAV on a Windows installation where it was once before installed? My personal experience shows that if it's a clean install of Windows, you get another full 366 days, but if it's a reinstall, you only get the 366 from the original date of activation.

Perhaps Symantec found out we cracked the unattended installation, and has NAV modify the symlcrst.dll file after first download of updates to prevent future cracking...in which case the smiley is appropriate...but as for my own trials, it's always worked (so far)... which means the smiley is more appropriate for me...

[reni]

I grabed the dll after an uninstallation of nav2005.

copyed the dll before installing. And the strange thing is that i have tested it on my laptop. and there it works and says that it is activated.
then with the same dvdunattendedxpwithnav2005 etc of mine i installed it on another machine wich says:

"NAV was unable to scan beacause your license of this product has expired." or something like it.

:-s.....
hmmm

i dont see how that could work %systemdrive at the time refers to the CD doesnt it...so your copy and mkdir commands dont make sense to me, correct me if im wrong im new to this whole thing

[DLF]

@demitrix

No it doesn't refer to the cd drive! %systemdrive% refers to the drive that Windows has just been installed on. It is written that way so that whatever drive Windows has been put on C, D, E etc or wherever it will be discovered.
Also at that stage Windows is already on the PC, and the $OEM$ folders have all been copied over to the hard drive and my "batch_file.cmd" is executing.
Please review/read the overview of the directory (folders) structure at http://unattended.ms.../oemfolders.htm and also the timeline of events at http://unattended.ms...xp/timeline.htm

[mssaad66]

Hi all......

Sorry Can I ask you that is this way will work with more than one machine or not becouse with me it have not work >>>>>so any one have test it before??

[prathapml]

By its very nature, activation is machine-specific.
And this method does not try to break any of such components.

So yeah, it will still not work on more than 1 machine.

[reni]

Yeah 2bad i also can confirm that this activation method works only machine specified. So if you copy the dll of machine 1 the activation will only work on machine 1...

Too bad...

If someone has a solution to make a universal activation... it would be very nice to share the thing with me cq. us.

Grtz..

Now that would be illegal, and neither posting it nor PM'ing such a thing would be allowed.

[reni]

It 's for me not an illegally manor but an automation of the activation process.... for my unattended install on several machines

[sonica]

hi
i used the method described here

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...10&#entry222997

and it seemed to work with VMWare without network support

but when i used it in a VMachine with network it failed and it ask to activate...


can you confirm this?

is there a way to make it thinking that i don't have any network?

thanks

[Confused Amused]

I'd like to mention that jbright's mention on the first page of this thread works excellent for NIS2005. No problems whatsoever if you follow his instructions.

I omitted the virus defs part to save space since I'm critically near 700 MB on my disc, and although I have to update the files after installation, it still works great.
