REG ADD %KEY%\085 /VE /D "Microsoft AntiSpyware" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\085 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\MSAS\MSASInstall.exe /S /v/qn" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\085 /V 2 /D "%systemdrive%\Progra~1\Micros~1\gcasDtServ.exe /regserver" /f

Put that in your RunOnceEx.cmd file

I don't tend to quote myself, but this, my friend, works perfectly for me *every* time. I have the absolute newest, truest, bluest version of MSAS and the same setup that worked 6 months ago works fine today.

This will work, unless somebody have folders named "Microsoft blah-blah etc." in "Program Files" already (i.e some other Microsoft products installed).
In that case "Progra~1\Micros~1" will point to some other place, and this installation will fail... with error 101.

/offtopic on
Is anybody experimented with MsAS command line switches?
I have found -LaunchMode N (where N is a number), as well as known switches -scan -withui -withreultui,
but but I haven't figured out -schedule yet.

If they have other stuff with the name Microsoft, they will have 8.3 names sequentially in alphabetical order. Even with Microsoft Office, Microsoft Project, Microsoft Visio, Microsoft Publisher and Microsoft Antispyware installed, antispyware will *still* be micros~1, unless Microsoft Activesync is installed first.

In any case, resolution is simple: Install MS Antispyware BEFORE you install those other apps. Setting the install to kick off earlier in the RunOnceEx.cmd is a 30 second job.

It creates short name every time it creates a file, not dynamically. So they will be named in order of creation.

On my machine for example:

Quote

MICROS~3    Microsoft ActiveSync
MICROS~4    Microsoft AntiSpyware
MICROS~1    microsoft frontpage
MICROS~2    Microsoft Office

How about even simplier resolution? Just use long names? DOS is officially dead at least 5 years now

@redfive19: nice work on the autoupdate feature, I'll definitely be putting that into all of my installs, worked like a charm.

well I am getting to the back to this topic a little late but I am glad it worked for you! you can find out more about autoit by downloading it here:

www.autoitscript.com

All I did was read the help file. Did the tutorials in it and it kind of took off from there. I've been using it since March......

good luck

RunWait ( "msiexec /qn /i setup.msi" )

Sleep ( 5000 )

Run ( @ProgramFilesDir & "\Microsoft AntiSpyware\gcasDtServ.exe /regserver" )

FileDelete ( @DesktopCommonDir & "\Microsoft AntiSpyware.lnk" )

That's an AuotIT script that does it all for you...just like it was previously mentioned. You have to have the .msi already extracted. What this does is install the program, wait five seconds, runs the necessary command to fix the stupid error with a silent install, and then deletes the icon on the desktop. After I reboot it autoruns and works fine.
