Hi,

 

Just migrated from 11.1 to 11.4, most things went ok but on two machines when deploying the client using either push depolyment of by executing the install package from the pc it fails with the error :

 

Cannot find "/s /w Reboot=ReallySuppress" Make sure you typed the name correctly........

 

Have used the CleanWipe utility and removed all symantec files from previous versions, but problem still happens.

 

Am using XP Pro SP2 on all machines and SBS 2003 on server.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks, Peter

Well, That's a clear MSI error. Probably the setup.exe is not passing the parameters correctly.

Do not export a single exceutable, Run the Symantec Antivirus.msi from the files, If you are doing it locally, You dont need to pass any parameters, Interactive. If you cant be locally present, Make a simple bat file with contents as

 

call c:\temp\clt-inst\msiexec.exe

 

Convert it to an exe with a converter like http://www.f2ko.de/ob2e/ob2e.html and rename it to setup.exe. Replace the setup.exe from the package to this new one. Push it across.

 

Post the results please in case you try it.
