Force installation

Jvuz

I followed this: http://www.sophos.com/en-us/support/knowledgebase/13090.aspx

but is there a way to force installation despite if it has been installed? We needed to change servers after the breakdown of the first one, and so, the console resides on another one (another name).

    Hello Jo,

    basically you'd have to have some indicator whether the forced reinstall has been performed, in the example it's a file in %windir%.

    @ECHO OFF
IF NOT EXIST %windir%\ForcedSophosInstall#01.txt GOTO :_Install
REM --- Check for an existing installation
...
:_Install
REM --- Deploy to Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista/Windows7/2008/2008-R2
\\SERVER\SophosUpdate\CIDs\Sxxx\SAVSCFXP\Setup.exe ...
type \nul > %windir%\ForcedSophosInstall#01.txt
REM --- End of the script
    :_End

     Disclaimer: This is untested :smileyhappy:
