Installing VirusScan Software
70 McAfee VirusScan Anti-Virus Software
RESTART Start VirusScan after the
MSI_INST.EXE utility finishes
importing or exporting settings.
/RESTART
PRESERVE Preserve existing paths. This tells
MSI_INST.EXE to set a switch in
the resulting .INI file that will
adjust paths when the Custom
Installation Creator or another
VirusScan installation imports a
new .INI file. This will update any
paths that point to executables
and log files to reflect the current
installation. You may use this
option only with the /EXPORT
option; it will not work with the
/IMPORT option.
/PRESERVE
PREVIOUS Preserves the settings from
previous VShield scanner
settings. This option tells
MSI_INST.EXE to read settings
from a previous .INI file and set
new installation settings
appropriately.
NOTE: You may use this option
only to preserve VirusScan v4.0.2
and v4.0.3 settings.
/PREVIOUS <path and filename>
PREVIOUS_EXCLUDE Preserves the exclusion settings
from previous VShield scanner
installations. This option tells
MSI_INST.EXE to read the
exclusion settings from a previous
.INI file and set new installation
appropriately. You must use this
option with the /PREVIOUS
option.
NOTE: You may use this option
only to preserve VirusScan v4.0.2
and v4.0.3 settings.
/PREVIOUS_EXCLUDE <path
and filename>
