This installs Spybot Search & Destroy version 1.4 - a free (as in beer) spyware removal program.
+
This installs Spybot Search
 
+
To install, get two files from http://www.safer-networking.org -
+
 
+
# spybotsd14.exe
+
# spybotsd_includes.exe
+
 
+
Exerpt from packages.xml:
+
 
+
<package
+
  id="spybotsd14"
+
  name="Spybot Search and Destroy 1.4"
+
  revision="1"
+
  reboot="false"
+
  priority="1">
+
+
  <check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="Spybot - Search &amp;amp; Destroy 1.4" />
+
  <install cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\spybotsd14\spybotsd14.exe" /silent /nocancel /noreboot' />
+
  <install cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\spybotsd14\spybotsd_includes.exe" /S' />
+
  <upgrade cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\spybotsd14\spybotsd_includes.exe" /S' />
+
  <remove cmd='"%ProgramFiles%\Spybot - Search &amp;amp; Destroy\unins000.exe" /SILENT /nocancel' />
+
</package>
+
 
+
As the Spybot S&D detection rules need to be updated from time to time and the program's internal update mechanisms (or the mirrors) suck, the easiest way to update all the clients is such:
+
 
+
# download the new spybotsd_includes.exe file into the server
+
# increment the revision counter by one
+
 
+
'''NB!''' The &amp;amp; in paths that have &amp; (ampersand) in them is no typo. If you use just the ampersand character, it will break your XML handling.

+
You '''could''' also run the program once using the following package, although i recommend against it, as there might be problems that cannot be resolved without user interaction. And it should preferrably be run when computer is idle and there wasn't a nervous user behind the keyboard who has just logged in and is itching to mess things up.
+
 
+
The priority must be set lower than installation package.
+
 
+
<package
+
  id="spybotsd14-run"
+
  name="run Spybot Search and Destroy 1.4"
+
  revision="1"
+
  reboot="false"
+
  priority="0"
+
  execute="once">
+
+
  <install cmd='"%ProgramFiles%\Spybot - Search &amp;amp; Destroy\SpybotSD.exe" /autocheck /autofix /autoimmunize /taskbarhide /autoclose' />
+
</package>
+
 
+
If you feel like running it again, increment its revision number.
