headbanger headbanger Lurker Registered: 2002-07-09 Posts: 3 Loc: Perth - Australia	Hi I have a script set up to install Mcafee virus scanner if it is not installed on a machine This works fine with windows XP+2000+nt but with Windows 98 the installer package comes up with a error saying that the file is corrupt or missing . The strange thing is that if I browse to the setup file and runit it works fine. Has anyone any Ideas ? Thanks

Wintendos do a smoke and mirrors with a temporary Z: drive mapping during the logon and tear it down after. You may be able to do it by mapping to the drive where the install is. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	In theory, Shell should wait, but often on silent installs does not. I abhor McAfee, choosing to use NAV (SAV) instead, so cannot vouch for the behavoir of the install. Sometimes, Start /W may aid in that. From what I know about McAfee, EPO is the way to go. What is $appsPath? Is it a mapped path or a UNC? _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

New VirusScan code: $VScanLocation = "\\is\Software_Applications\McAfee\antivirus\vscan4.5" RUN $VscanLocation+"\SETUP.EXE ADDLOCAL=ALL REMOVE=SendVirus REMOVEINCOMPATIBLESOFTWARE=True REBOOT=F /q /i" Here is one that we used to update the Service Pack for McAfee: code: $VSCANSP1 = "\\IS\Software_Applications\McAfee\antivirus\vscan4.5Sp1" RUN $VSCANSP1+"\VSC45SP1.exe /silent" HTH, Kent _________________________ Utilize these resources: UDFs (Full List) KiXtart FAQ & How to's
