Thanks for this latest update to your wonderful Anti-Virus tool!

I was a little surprised to discover that setup command line options I've
relied on in the past "/verysilent /noicons /nocancel" to avoid questions
and answers no longer works. I've found "/SUPPRESSMSGBOXES" in the source
code but it doesn't seem to have any effect that I can find.

What do you suggest I do to run the setup.exe and avoid having to answer
questions?

I look forward to hearing from you,
Dale E. Moore

The setup command line options "/verysilent /noicons /nocancel" no longer work.

Is this a bug, or a feature?

I look forward to hearing from you,

Thanks for the insight! Do you know how I can get the old command line arguments to work?

Arguments like /verysilent /noicons /nocancel worked in 0.94.

Thanks for any help you can provide,
Dale E. Moore


Nothing changed in the setup from 0.94 to 0.94.1 so these switches should still work. We use Inno Setup so this reference should be valid:

Dear alch;

Many thanks for your response to my note, I very much appreciate it!

0.94.1 does not respond to those command line arguments like 0.94 did. Perhaps this is a bug. Where should I post it, on https://sf.net or in one of these forums?

I hope this note finds you and finds you well,

Thinking I might be an idiot (it won't be the last time) I've gone through the obvious options at https://unattended.sourceforge.net/InnoSetup_Switches_ExitCodes.html https://unattended.sourceforge.net/InnoSetup_Switches_ExitCodes.html and can find no way to suppress the License agreement Yes/No prompt. I haven't had this problem for numerous previous versions.Something's changed?

Do y'all know if I could contact the Inno Setup folks somewhere to seek their advice? Maybe they changed something.

I look forward to hearing from you,

https://news.jrsoftware.org/news/innosetup/msg67234.html https://news.jrsoftware.org/news/innosetup/msg67234.html has me thinking that when you change your license agreement that the acceptance of the new license agreement can not be silent.

So I wonder, did you change your license agreement? https://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?group_id=105508&release_id=639101 https://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?group_id=105508&release_id=639101 says you only changed

I look forward to hearing from you,
Dale E. Moore

nope, nothing in the setup has changed, not even InnoSetup version.
Do you by any chance have the previopus version installed and running? To make the setup run silent you need to do the following before running the setup:
1. Close ClamTray.exe
2. Close Outlook

Hi alch;

I've closed ClamTray and Outlook. Then launched the upgrade with the same command line I've been using:and the first thing that it appears update does is pop up a License Agreement window like this: https://picasaweb.google.com/DaleEMoore/MooreWorks#5269377807529128786 https://picasaweb.google.com/DaleEMoore/MooreWorks#5269377807529128786.

What in the world am I doing wrong?
Dale E. Moore

That explains it. The "-update" is a patch and done with NSIS installer. Please use the -nodb setup which is built with InnoSetup:
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=105508&package_id=113616&release_id=639101

Dear alch;

You are a GOD; -nodb works perfectly! Now I am sure I will never have another computer problem for the rest of my life.

Thanks for staying with me through all my confusion!

I hope this note finds you and finds you well,
Dale E. Moore

Wow, that's awesome.

Just for reference, I find that this command:

clamwin-0.94.1-setup-nodb.exe /verysilent /noicons /nocancel /SP- /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES

Will install/upgrade cleanly with no user interaction, (don't use -nodb for initial installs, though), but you don't have to end clamwin.exe first.

I have this in a script that first copies a .clamwin folder (with settings and scheduled scans) to %APPDATA%\.clamwin and then runs the install.

This way I can update all the computers automatically, no matter what versions they were running before (unlike the -update versions). Thanks guys.

If you run this on a computer with the same version already, it goes through the whole process again, but doesn't break anything.

This will certainly make my job easier updating all the computers around here.
