Installation
This silently installs Spybot Search & Destroy version 1.4 - a free (as in beer) spyware removal program.
To install, get two files from http://www.safer-networking.org:
- spybotsd14.exe
- spybotsd_includes.exe
Excerpt 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; 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; 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 & in paths that have & (ampersand) in them is no typo. If you use just the ampersand character, it will break your XML handling.
Running Spybot S&D using WPKG
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 preferably 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; Destroy\SpybotSD.exe" /autocheck /autofix /autoimmunize /taskbarhide /autoclose' />
</package>
If you feel like running it again, increment its revision number.
