Making ESET preconfigured installer

[liorshwa]

i once made a "/silent" install of eset with some switches but i forgot one switch that i used and what it does is it make the installation read the exported xml settings file and installs with the same setting.

can someone please tell me that switch if you remember?

it was something like config=CFG.XML but i tried and it didn't work

also tried ADMINCFG=CFG.XML and didn't work.

get "eset.xml" from Eset Smart Security/Antivirus etc. "Settings" section. Then use this parameter to install msi file silently(preconfigured).

/qn REBOOT="ReallySuppress" ADMINCFG=eset.xml

Do you have any more info or guide on this as I would be very interested in making silent installer to pre-define options during installer.

[liorshwa]

ok i will try it.

can i use /qb instead of /qn for a basic interface?

if i do so the command should be like this:

msiexec /i "path to eav_nt32.msi" /qb REBOOT="ReallySuppress" ADMINCFG=eset.xml

Am i right?

of course, it is possible. run msi file "/?" parameter(except quotes) to learn which parameters can be used.

did you find the switch i was looking for by running /? on an msi file?

did you find the switch i was looking for by running /? on an msi file?

You can find standart parameters for msi files by using "/?" parameter. For other parameters you have two options I know.

you can use an msi editor like "Orca MSI Editor" or search from the web site of producer of that program (especially forums)

I suggest you many web site "itninja.com", "http://www.msfn.org/" etc.

which way you used to find the ADMINCFG switch?

[xarax]

I dont remember exactly. Probably, I found it from msfn.com or it's Turkish alternative. tnctr.com.

if you interest with unattended installation. I can help you as I knew.

do you know autoit cause certain programs dont run when i try to record windows text and also it doesn't always records the keypresses.

im just working on a WPI (Windows Post Install Wizard) project and there are certain programs that i want to preconfigure with autoit but i can't.

does autoit supports windows 8 cause if it doesn't so which os should i use to install autoit on it?

if you can i would love to get a link to a tutorial about silent installs with autoit

[xarax]

Autoit, Yes it is usefull for some programs but I prefer other method firstly. If you must use Autoit, I give you an example.

...;Step-2WinWaitActive($title1,$text1)WinSetTrans($title1, $text1, $opacity);Send("{ALTDOWN}l{ALTUP}")ControlCommand($title1,$text1,"TNewButton1","Check", "");Step-3WinWaitActive($title1,$text2)WinSetTrans($title1, $text2, $opacity)ControlCommand($title1,$text2,"TNewRadioButton1","Check", "");Send("{ALTDOWN}l{ALTUP}");(optional instead of below code)ControlCommand($title1,$text1,"TNewButton2","Check", "")... 

$title1,$text1,$opacity is predefined constants. step by step I write codes for every window.

Windows 8 is a disappointment exactly according to me. Sometimes unattended installers which I made don't work as I want. so you should try it on windows 8 before. if it is OK, then use it on WPI.

I suggest you, tnctr.com but it is Turkish. Do you know Turkish? :)

I'm using the business edition of NOD32 v4.2, do you know what I need to do to pre-define/bypass the standard question during installer like username/password, live grid, program componenets upgrade on and off and potentially unwanted apps? Thanks in advance.
