Creating batch file

Hi!

Trying to create a batch file here:

@echo off
“C:\Program\Alwil Software\Avast4\Setup\avast.setup” /update /silent
START “” /WAIT “C:\Program\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashQuick.exe” C:
exit

Works OK but I would rather have it like:

@echo off
“C:\Program\Alwil Software\Avast4\Setup\avast.setup” /update /silent
START “” /WAIT “C:\Program\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashSimp2.exe”
exit

This starts the Simple User Interface but what should I put in to choose scanning areas, scanning sensivity (quick, standard or thorough) and start scan?

What does ““C:\Program\Alwil Software\Avast4\Setup\avast.setup” /update /silent” update - both program and vps. Is there a parameter to just choose vps?

I´ve also tried ““C:\Program\Alwil Software\Avast4\VisthUpd.exe” /silent” but it didn´t became silent!

Thomas!

No, you can’t schedule the simple user interface.
Also, the update, as far I know, only can be invoked by command-line in the Pro version as well.
avast.setup is not a executable file.

I was a bit surprised but both

“C:\Program\Alwil Software\Avast4\Setup\avast.setup” /update /silent

and

“C:\Program\Alwil Software\Avast4\VisthUpd.exe”

works for updating!!

This is clearly for Vista.

Yeah, probably - but it updates avast in my XP!
