Hi, got a strange question.... I have this DELL laptopn with the Windows XP Home CD For some reason it automaticaly creates an account named "Owner" I actualy want the account name to be something else. The problem is that I can't find on the CD how Dell creates that account I verified the CMDLINES.TXT in the \$OEM$\ folder it point to an other batch file and installs a .INF file but both of the files has no reference to the "Owner" account and I also double checked the the WINNT.SIF and UNATTEND.TXT and I dont see any reference to any "Owner" account So I'm wondering who they managed to created this account..... Has a work arround, I actualy create a second account, put it as an Administator and the delete the "Owner" account. But I would prefer if the "Owner" account was never created. Could some one point me to the right direction on where that account gets created Thanks

Thanks, but will it "Silent" uninstall it ? I mean with no message prompts/confirmations ?

Does any one here knows of a way to key the command line switches from a .EXE ? I found a couple for CFPCONFG.EXE by opening up a CMD promt and runnig CFPCONFG.EXE -x where x = a to z And see if anything would happen... I manage to find 11 that did something (a windows shows up).... but Im pretty sure that theirs more of them, but does not have any GUI interface appers

Well Actualy I did found a way to silent install the Firewall..... Once you start the installation, take a look in your %TEMP% folder You will see a SCRIPT.INI file.... it tells you which files are used, keep a copy of SCRIPT.INI to refer afterwards.. Finish the installation of the Firewall. Then Check the SCRIPT.INI that you copied. and do a search for the files that it mentions, most of them are in the %ProgramFiles%\COMODO\FIREWALL folder, some are in %WINDIR%\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS and in %ALLUSERSPROFILES%\APPLICATION DATA\COMODO So just gather up all of those files, create a self extracting archive that replaces the files in the correct folders and once its done you just need to run %ProgramFiles%\COMODO\FIREWALL\CFPCONFG.EXE -i -s If you look again at the SCRIPT.INI, you will see that it actualy runs CFPCONFG.EXE -i , But I found out that CFPCONFG.EXE contains many switches.... and -i = install and -s =silent -r = reboot, -u =uninstall Theres plenty more sitches.... And also if you which to have the Icons in the desktop and the start Menu, just copy the .lnk and add it to the archive and uncompress them to the correct folders. And If you also ant it to apper in the "Add/Remove" Program.... you will need to get the Key from the Registry and export it.

I dont know what kind of installer it is... and its not a multilanguage installer... As for AutoIT.... I never actualy used it before, so I have nop Idea how to make a script for this.... The way it works, Is thatyou start the big EXE, it will then create a script.ini file in the TEMP folder and ask you a few questions, at the end it will extract the files to the TEMP folder and move them to the final install folder. So the files does not stay in the TEMP folder for long.... I cant copy them over to and other folder. But If I take my time looking at the script I might able to decipher wich file goes where..... Once the files are where they need to be it runs a command CFPCONFG.EXE -I (got this from the script) which will start the configuration process. I was playing around with CFPCONFG.EXE and I found out that theres multiple 1 letter switches available, (almost all the alphabet) IE.: -a forces a scan, -k start the config wizard, -r Reboots the computer, -i -s seams to perform a silent install.... so If I run CFPCONFG -i -s and then reboot, the firewall application starts up, but if I open up the main screen, it says that the "Firewall is not working properly" and ask if I want to repair, if I say YES, it fails to repair and ask if I want to create a diag file. IF I say YES again a TXT file is create and by reading it, I believe some files are missing. So There is a way to do a silent install.... We just need to know exactly what files gets copied where, and if the Registry get modified before the installer run the CFPCONFG.EXE -I

I found the uninstall command for the Toolbar but I don't think there's a way to do a silent uninstall.... its uninstalled via RUNDLL

Hi, I'm trying to so a silent install of COMODO Firewall My searches resulted is doing a "CFP_Setup_3.0.22.349_XP_Vista_x32.exe -s" to extract the files to the appropriate folders then running "C:\Program Files\COMODO\Firewall\cfpconfg.exe -i" to configure the application But with version 3.0.22.349, the -s does not work. it simply create a .log file that says that the installation failed and I have nothing named COMODO in the Program Files Folder. I also saw some user where using AuoIt to install CFP, and they where giving out teh scripts, But I never used AutoIt before, I always managed to Silently install all my apps via batch files. Was anyone able to Silently install the latest version of CFP?, is so could you let me know, Thanks

I can confirm that on the newest version of ZoneAlarm Free (7.0.473) the silent install switches are working zaZA_Setup_en.exe /s /i /noreboot does a silent install, but it looks like it also installs the "ZoneAlarm Spy Blocker" toolbar in Internet Explorer Does any one know if theres a way to disable its installation ?
