Scripted Install

stokie_steve

Hello

I am trying to do a scripted install of the Sophos Endpoint Security and Control Client on a windows XP machine. From what I can see the install comes in two parts; The Sophos Antivirus software and the Sophos Auto Updater software. I can install the Sophos Anti-Virus software using MSIEXEC. But the Auto-Update software requires credentials so that it can update from the web. I can not enter these credentials when installing the software silently.

Can anybody shed any light on this?

Regards

Steve

    Hi Steve,

    Welcome to the forums. Generally I would recommended calling the executable with the script rather than the individual msi files. The executable has a number of switches you can specify including the username/password for the updating account.

    You can generate a full list of available switches by running 'setup.exe -?'.

    On a similar vein you may also find the following knowledgebase article of interest as this will allow you to pre-configure the address and account details by creating an installation package:

    Hope this helps,
