Unattended Install?

[Rick]

Are there any switches that can be used during install so
it can be pushed to clients vs. throwing it into an
image? Unattended, silent Install would be cool!

Hi Rick,
At this time, there has been no announcement pro/con of an Enterprise
version of the software.

Yes, you can do an unattended install (exe renamed for the
sake of brevity).

msantispy.exe /S /v/qn

or

msiexec.exe /i c:\msantispy.msi /qn INSTALLDIR=c:\MSAS\

When using the silent install, however, I found I always
got the 101 error. If you get that,
run "gcasDtServ.exe /regserver".

I was able to use VBS to do remote installs of Antispyware
with few issues using win32_process Create to run the MSI,
then again to register gcasDtServ.

Thanks for posting the method--there's a lot of request for this one.

Would it be appropriate to link to that in the FAQ?
