Enterprise 8.7i software:

 Getting product software and documentation.

 Reviewing release notes.

 Verifying installation rights.

 Preserving settings during product upgrade on page 9.

 Meeting system requirements on page 10.

Getting product software and documentation

Get the VirusScan Enterprise software and documentation from one of these locations:

 The product CD.

 The McAfee download site at:

https://secure.nai.com/us/forms/downloads/upgrades/login.asp

Logon credentials are required to download products from this website.

Note

Reviewing release notes

Review the release notes, README.TXT, to identify last minute changes or known
issues.

2

Verifying installation rights

Verify that you have local administrator rights for the computer where you plan to install
VirusScan Enterprise.

Preserving settings during product upgrade

If you are installing VirusScan Enterprise on a computer with an earlier version of
VirusScan Enterprise, you can preserving settings from the earlier version.

 Configuration settings for saved tasks.

 User-specified extensions.

 Exclusions settings.

 Access protection rules are preserved using this logic:

1 The current VirusScan Enterprise rules are read from the registry.

2 Each of the local VirusScan Enterprise rules are compared against all of the

VirusScan Enterprise 8.0 default rules.

3 If no exact match is found when comparing local rules to the default rules, then the

rule is added to the list of rules to preserve.

4 For port blocking rules, if the local rule differs from the default rule only in its

inclusions, then the rule is placed in a separate list of rules to be merged with the
equivalent VirusScan Enterprise 8.7i rules.

5 The white list for each of the port rules, from Step 4, is merged with the white list of

the equivalent VirusScan Enterprise 8.7i rule, and a newly formed rule is written to
the registry for use by VirusScan Enterprise 8.7i.

6 The modified default rules, if any from Step 3, are converted to the new VirusScan

Enterprise 8.7i rule format and written to the registry. These preserved rules are
included in the user-defined rules.

VirusScan® Enterprise software version 8.7i Installation Guide Pre-Installation Information

Meeting system requirements

The decision to combine the white lists of the port blocking rules that have only had
their white list modified is based on the assumption that the user has specific software

Note

that they do not want blocked by the default port blocking rule.

 Detection definition (DAT) file version, if the previous version is later than the

version in the installation package.

 Scanning engine version, if the previous version is later than the version in the

installation package.

 Log file names and locations are preserved.

Although the name and location are preserved, the log file format is changed from ANSI
to

Note

UTF8. When the format is changed, the log file is renamed to *.BAK.

The registry keys containing installation file locations and product versions are not
preserved.

If you do not want to preserve settings, you can deselect the option during installation
or remove the previous version of the software before installing the current version.

2

Meeting system requirements

These are preliminary requirements for the Beta 1 release. Verify that your server or
workstation meets these system requirements before you start the installation
process:

These requirements apply only to VirusScan Enterprise 8.7i. You must also consider

See the McAfee Installation Designer 8.5 Product Guide for more information.

Deploying the installation package

Use ePolicy Orchestrator version 3.5 or later to push the software to client computers.

We recommend that before you push the software to client computers, you use
McAfee Installation Designer to replace or update the default detection definition (

computer has the most current protection at installation time. It also saves network
bandwidth by not having to retrieve the updated files after installation.

Installation scenarios

Use these scenarios to customize your installation:

Scenario Description

Silent A silent installation does not display the installation wizard or offer the

user any configuration options. Instead, you preconfigure those
choices and run Setup in the background on each destination
computer. You can install VirusScan Enterprise software on any
unattended computer with or without the user’s knowledge, provided
you have the necessary administrator rights.

Add these options to run a silent or semi-silent installation:

 q or qn Silent installation. This installs default settings unless you

specify otherwise. For example, the product license default is a 1
Year Subscription.

 qb Basic user interface. Use qb! to hide the Cancel button.
 qb+ Basic user interface with a modal dialog box displayed at the

end of installation. Use qb+! or qb!+ to hide the Cancel button.The
modal dialog box is not displayed if the user cancels the installation.

 qb- Basic user interface with no modal dialog boxes. Use qb-! or qb!-

to hide the Cancel button.

 qf Full user interface and any authored FatalError, UserExit, or Exit

modal dialog box displayed at the end of installation.

 qn+ No user interface except for a modal dialog box displayed at the

end of installation.

 qr Reduced user interface with no modal dialog displayed at the end

of installation

Custom Location Add the installdir property to specify the location. For example, to

silently install VirusScan Enterprise software to C:\My AntiVirus
Software, type this text at the command prompt:

setup.exe INSTALLDIR="c:\My AntiVirus Software" /q

Login Script Add a Setup command to your login script to install VirusScan

Enterprise software at the time each of your destination computers
starts. Include all of the options and properties for governing how
Setup runs. For example, you can add a property to look for the
VirusScan Enterprise default program location.

Notes and Tips

To use a login script for this purpose, you must also copy or push the
VirusScan Enterprise installation package to a local location on the
destination computer.

When you remove files using Setup on the command line, some files or stopped
services may not be removed. For example, if you remove the VirusScan Enterprise
