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.

Installation scenarios
Use these scenarios to customize your installation:
ScenarioDescription
SilentA 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 LocationAdd 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:
Login ScriptAdd 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.

services are not removed. Restarting after removing files ensures that all files and
services are removed before reinstalling the software.
