Software Deployment

hi evpcb
what script are you using? vbscript? for batch you have to can use the reg command and query the registry key for SAV9 which is
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{848AC794-8B81-440A-81AE-6474337DB527}\DisplayName="Symantec AntiVirus"

if you could put in detail what you want to do i may scrap up a vbsript for you to:
check if sav 9 is installed
uninstall if version not matched and install the correct version
suppress the reboot and instead shows a msg prompting users they need to restart

is this what you wanted to do?

if its the version you want to check here it is
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{848AC794-8B81-440A-81AE-6474337DB527}\DisplayVersion="9.0.110"

I'm not sure of the script we have but how would i put that registry key into my .bat file. How can I get it to look for the version i have and if installed have the batch file cancel the uninstall. Thanks for your help so far

also the version is 9.0.3.1000

we use vbscripting

Ok I came to a bump in the road all the 9.0.0.0 versions have the same registry key but the display version is listed if you could point me in the right direction it would be apperciated. Thanks for your help so far.

hi

try this one =)

sRegKey = "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{0EFC6259-3AD8-4CD2-BC57-D4937AF5CC0E}" 'replace with correct UID for yiou correct version of SAV
sRegValue = sRegKey & "\DisplayVersion"
NewVersion = "9.0.0.0" ' replace with your correct version on SAV

MsgBox "Your Current Version of AntiVirus is" & vbnewline & vbnewline & (RegValueExists(sRegValue))

If NewVersion <> (RegValueExists(sRegValue)) Then
MsgBox "Your have the wrong version of Antivirus!"
' place command here if wrong version is found on workstation
Else
MsgBox "You have the correct version of AntiVirus!"
' place command here if correct version is found on workstation
End If


Function RegValueExists(sRegValue)
' Returns True or False based of the existence of a registry value.
Dim oShell, RegReadReturn
Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
RegValueExists = True ' init value
On Error Resume Next
RegReadReturn = oShell.RegRead(sRegValue)
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
RegValueExists = False
Else
RegValueExists = RegReadReturn
End If
On Error Goto 0
End Function


happy coding =)

hi evpcb,

you pasted it on your batch file? this one is a vbscipt code.. try saving it with a .vbs / .v4s extension along with your changes..
