Installing VirusScan Enterprise
Installing silently
Use command-line options to set up VirusScan Enterprise software on each
network node with little or no interaction from users. During a silent installation,
Setup does not display the installation wizard, or offer the user any configuration
options. Instead, you pre-configure those choices and run Setup in the background
on each destination computer. You can install VirusScan Enterprise software on
any unattended computer with or without the user’s knowledge, provided you
have the necessary administrator rights.
For example, use the
/q option to specify the user interface.
Add these options to run a silent or semi-silent installation:
Installing to a custom location
To install VirusScan Enterprise software to a custom location, add the INSTALLDIR
property to specify the location you want to use. For example, to silently install
VirusScan Enterprise software to C:\My Anti-Virus Software, type this line at the
command prompt:
setup INSTALLDIR="c:\My Anti-Virus Software" /q
Use quotes only if the destination name has spaces.
