Ryan Dao Ryan Dao Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-03-09 Posts: 45	I have the following shell command to install a new verstion of Symantec Antivirus. The setup starts but the script continues before the Shell command completes. Any idea? Thx Ryan Code: ? "Upgrading SAV" Shell '%COMSPEC% /C setup.exe /s /V"/l*v C:\IT\SAV902.log RUNLIVEUPDATE=0 REBOOT=ReallySuppress ADDLOCAL=SAVMain,SAVUI,SAVHelp,EMailTools,OutlookSnapin,Pop3Smtp,QClient /qb!"' ? ? "Completed. Thank You." sleep 2 exit Code:

It spawns a detached process from that of the parent that started it. try: Shell '%COMSPEC% /start /wait setup.exe /s /V"/l*v C:\IT\SAV902.log RUNLIVEUPDATE=0 REBOOT=ReallySuppress _________________________ Home page: http://www.kixhelp.com/hb/

If SAV uses InstallShield, you could try the -SMS switch. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

Ryan Dao Ryan Dao Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-03-09 Posts: 45	The -SMS switch is for msi files right? I have to use setup.exe cause it will automatically upgrade MS Installer if needed then it calls the msi file. Is there is a way to use -SMS with setup.exe please show me. Thx. RD

That is the preferable way to deploy and configure SAVCE. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.
