Standalone install doesn't work on Win 7 64 bit

Wigsy

I followed the best practice guide to create a web CID and installer package.  This all works perfectly well on a winxp pc but fails in 2 places on a Win 7 64bit pc.

The first issue is the batch file tries to copy the cutome config dir to %programfiles%\Sophos... but fails with access denied presumably this is Win 7's UAC getting in the way but I can't see a way around it using a batch file.

The second issue is that the setup.exe when used with the command switches doesn't do anything, I see the UAC prompt which I accept followed by the spining disk cursor for a few seconds, control passes back to the batch file and nothing else happens.  There are no error messages and nothing reported in the event log.

Has anyone else tried this or have any advice?

    Hi Christian,

    Thanks for the response, sorry I meant to say it's sec 9.5 that I'm trying to install.

    Yes, the best practice guide you linked to is the one (and I did find it a bit confusing but managed to work my way round that!)

    I can try creating a new batch file for x64 pc's - as this is for home users that access our network there'll no doubt be a few versions to contend with but that should it care of this problem.  The command line used is as in the guide but with out the firewall install option as I haven't had a chance to play with that yet:

    C:\SAVSCFXP\Setup.exe -mng no -crt R -ni -updp c:\savscfxp\

    When I have the test pc in front of me I'll check the logs and report back what's there if anything.

    Regards

    James.
