/qn failing the installation

[Kevin]

I have tried using msiexec.exe to quietly install MSAS onto
some PC's at my work. Unfortunately when the app is
launched after installation using this method it errors
out. Has anyone found a way to get past this? Is it
because of a poorly built MSI or something I'm doing?

Considerations for Use with Enterprise Management Tools

If you are testing Windows AntiSpyware in an enterprise
environment, be aware that Windows AntiSpyware may prompt
users to make decisions that could block some services or
options that are deployed through an enterprise management
tool. For example, a user may be prompted to allow or
block a Systems Management Server (SMS) script.

In an enterprise-managed environment, you can work around
this issue by turning off the active protection feature of
Windows AntiSpyware. For more information about this, see
the KB article at support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-
us;892375.

I'm unclear whether others have this working or not--in general, it isn't
recommended because of the result you are seeing.

Here's what I have in my notes, but have not tested myself:

When installing on a number of PC's, how would you go
about changing configuration? How could I turn of the
real time protection on all of the machines?

So we have to have all users manually turn of the real-
time scan? Or can the registry key just be deleted?

Best advice is not to do it at this time.
