Problem description
How can I make NVC silent installations?
Problem solution
Given that Norman has changed to .msi-based installation files, this has never been easier:
- Download the installation program that you want to use for the installation - i.e. NormanVirusControl_599CORP_R6.msi
- Use the following command to execute the silent installation:
msiexec /i productname.msi /qn
Using the example-file from above the command will look like this:
msiexec /i NormanVirusControl_599CORP_R6.msi /qn
This will install Norman Virus Control silently. The Norman-icon will be visible in Systray when the installation has finished. When the user executes Internet Update the first time, he/she will be prompted to either buy a license or enter a valid authentication key.
