	What is an installation package? How to create a Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 settings file How to create a Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 MP4 settings file

To install the applications silently (no dialog windows informing about the installation process are displayed on the screen), you should:

1. create a special file which would describe what application component to install and set the main setup parameters. You can do it the following ways: 

• in Kaspersky Administration Kit create an installation package for the will-be-installed application and make the necessary changes in the package (or use an already created package) 

• for Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0: manually create the file setup.ini and define the necessary parameters in the file. The file description is given below.

2. in the installation package or in the folder with the application distributive (if Kaspersky Administration Kit is not used) save the license key and the file with the Anti-Virus settings (if necessary).

For anti-virus applications version 6.0 the file install.cfg (settings file) and the license key should be saved into the subfolder exec of the setup folder next to the msi-file.

3. on a computer on which you are going to install the application silently, run the executable file setup.exe (from the installation package or distributive) or use installation with the help of msiexec.exe. Files are launched with the following switches: 

• setup.exe [/pKLUNINSTPASSWD=password]:  
• /s – silent installation without reboot 
• /s /pALLOWREBOOT=1 – silent installation with reboot (without request) 
• /v/qb – runs the setup with minimal user interface and without reboot (only progress bar is displayed) 
• /v/qb /pALLOWREBOOT=1 – runs the setup with minimal user interface and with the reboot request

The switches /v/qb and /pALLOWREBOOT are entered without any gaps.  The switch /pKLUNINSTPASSWD allows to set the password for product uninstallation.

• msiexec.exe /I <path_to_package>[KLUNINSTPASSWD=<password>]
• /qn - silent installation without reboot 
• /qn ALLOWREBOOT=1 - silent installation with reboot (without request) 
• /qb - runs the setup with minimal user interface and without reboot (only progress bar is displayed) 
• /qb ALLOWREBOOT=1 - runs the setup with minimal user interface and with the reboot request

Key KLUNINSTPASSWD allows defining a password for product uninstalaltion

If you are using keys for silent setup and setup with minimal user interface and want the Scan and Update tasks to install, manually create the file setup.ini and in the file define the necessary parameters and save the file to the Anti-Virus distributive. If the file is not created the tasks Scan and Update will not be installed!
