[Release] Ad-Aware SE 1.06 + AutoUpdate

Siginet · Post by **Siginet** » Tue Jan 03, 2006 12:54 pm

Edit November 26 2006:
I updated this addon to include the latest defs.ref file and re-wrote the autoupdate feature because lavasoft decided to change their defs download link. It should work even better now.

I made an addon for Lavasoft Ad-Aware SE 1.06.
This is not a switchless Installer. This is a true addon.
I tried to make it install exactly as it would install by default.
So all of the shortcuts are there in your start menu
and it has it's entry in Add/Remove programs.
I did not place the icon on the desktop though.
It will also autoupdate the defs during integration as long as there is access to the internet.

The auto update feature utalizes the new features in v1.3 of the integrator.

It seems to work for me. Please let me know if you have any problems.

*NOTE* This addon is not nLite compatable! It uses integrator only functions.

hmm. first post for this.
could you upload ur pack with latest defs. havent tested it, but sure it will work

Siginet · Post by **Siginet** » Wed May 03, 2006 9:29 pm

Sure I will later today. Actually when the next integrator comes outI might make an auto updater file that will come with it and it will update during integration.

In the next integrator it will allow us to run a custom file. So it would be simple to make an exe that goes to lavasoft and downloads the latest defs during integration... then delete the custom exe when it is done.

thanx for the update and the info siginet

Siginet · Post by **Siginet** » Thu Jun 29, 2006 9:38 pm

Well... I've updated this addon to also have my new Adaware AutoUpdate file in it. With the RVM Integrator v1.3 I use the new [RunFile] section to execute a file to autoupdate the defs during integration. Then I use the new [FileDelete] section to delete the Update_Ad-Aware.exe file from the i386 directory upon completion of integration.

Addon creators should get some pretty cool ideas from this kind of an addon. It means there is now no limit to what types of addons can be made.

Siginet, you're a genius.

This could also be used to autoupdate any addon if done right. Could this be the return of Sysinternals addons when the addon itself can download their package and integrate it on the fly?

Very nice!
Fantastic work Siginet - I'm going to like this new feature.

The autoupdate pack is definitely not working for me. First of all, the inf specifies the defs.ref file to be inside the cab package, which it is not. Secondly, although potentially just an nLite issue, integrating with nLite 1.0 Final somehow did not put the defs.ref and updater file into the I386 folder. My guess is 1.0 final does not yet support the features of the new integrator. But the files should have been integrated anyways, just not ran.

Siginet · Post by **Siginet** » Fri Jul 07, 2006 2:16 pm

nLite does not support the new features that are in v1.3 of the intregrator. This addon uses [RunFile] [FileMove] and [FileDelete] all unsupported in nLite.

From now on... any addons you get from the RyanVM website are supposed to be used with the RVMIntegrator. You will begin to see more and more addons that do not support nLite. That is because nLite is more for Liteing a disk whereas the integrator is more for adding to a disk.

I reccommend you use the integrator for all of your integrations then run a test. If everything is ok then use nLite to Liten things.

Siginet, will you be supporting the older, non-sutoupdate version or is this the definitive one?

Siginet · Post by **Siginet** » Tue Jul 11, 2006 12:43 am

If I remember right it does both.

Siginet, is the MD5 hash updated? I've cleared my cache and downloaded it again but I still get this:

Sorry I must have forgot to update it. Fixed now.

Thx!

I made a cab file out of my ad aware pro and it works fine using the nlite addon maker. only problem is, quick launch icons and desktop icons (i don't want anything but the program group)

What "Program Files" path does this install to...?

Siginet · Post by **Siginet** » Tue Sep 12, 2006 5:08 am

"%ProgramFiles%\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware SE Personal\Ad-Aware.exe"
Just like it would as default.

Hello,

Does anyone have a answer to the following?

When i use this addon with the creation of my win xp unattended and want to install Mcafee 2007 ( v11 )after the windows installation i have following problems :
- Mcafee will not install the virusscan because it conflicts with the adaware application.

Best Regards
Luc

Siginet · Post by **Siginet** » Fri Oct 27, 2006 1:42 pm

I don't know your answer. But I have no idea why mcafee would conflict with adaware either. Adaware does no realtime scanning. So I don't see how the program would conflict. Personally I think mcafee is one of the worst antiviruses out there so it doesn't suprise me if they have a stupid issue like that. Sorry I can't help you... maybe someone else can shed some more light?

Hey Sig, think i could talk you into releasing an update for this? or more correctly a new addong for adaware 2007?

thankyou kindly sir

jumz · Post by **jumz** » Wed Sep 26, 2007 2:31 pm

Is there a way to 'manually' download and copy the def's after the install? I am/prefer using the default silent install switches for Ad-Aware and have always wondered how to update the defs afterwards...Thanks in Advance.

Siginet · Post by **Siginet** » Wed Sep 26, 2007 9:38 pm

In Adaware SE you can easily update the defs file from their site then paste the defs.ref in the adaware directory. I haven't found out an easy way to update 2k7 yet.

TechnoHunter · Post by **TechnoHunter** » Thu Sep 27, 2007 2:30 am

hmm the mechanism that you use with 1.06 wont work?

reason i ask is that it seems to update just fine with the latest defs when integrated just a day ago.. (installed system opened ad-aware and checked for update- nada needed)

not sure what the differences are update wise 'tween 1.06 and 2k7

goos luck Sig and thanks again
