I have been tasked with trying to get the web-based deployment of Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition Version 8.1. We had this working at one time while running on 7.6 but apparently things changed from 7.6 to 8.1. I know one thing that did change was files.ini became files.txt. In my files.txt file I have the following:
[General]
FileCount=2
LaunchApplication=Setup.exe
[Files]
File1=Setup.exe
File2=grc.dat
I used the example for files.txt found at
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPOR...88256d4f00810257?OpenDocument&src=bar_sch_nam
I am using IIS to deploy the package so I went into Internet Services Manager and created a Virtual Directory called AVInstall and pointed it to c:\program files\SAV\clt-inst\webinst and assigned the rights suggested in the above article. I edited the files it said to edit and when I go to a workstation and start up my webbrowser and go to »issrv2/AVInstall which brings up the Symantec page to install the client. I press the button and it starts downloading the files.txt and then it downloads the setup.exe and then it spits an error saying "Error downloading »issrv2/AVInstall/webinst/grc.dat. Terminating file download process". I can go back to files.txt and change the FileCount to 1 and it downloads the setup.exe and starts the setup process without a problem. Of course...without it having the grc.dat file it makes it an unmanaged workstation and we don't want that. Anyone know how to get it to download the grc.dat correctly?
