Command Line Scanner in Safe Mode

I am trying to run the command line scanner while in safe mode and keep getting "scanner initialization failed".

I have read the parameters page at training.eset.com/kb. I have tried using the /auto switch, no joy.

I also tried the parameters below pulled right from Blackspear's tutuorial, no joy.
C:\ /adv-heur /adware /arch /auto /boots /files /mail /no-log-all /pattern /quarantine /rtp /sfx /subdir /unsafe /unwanted

I am running version 3.0.667.0 on WinXP x64. Any help would be appreciated.

 

I think the problem is you're trying to run ecls from other than the installation folder. Try using --base-dir= parameter follwed by the path to the EAV installation folder.

 

Ok. I tried that but no luck.
I made sure that I am pathed to the install directory (c:\program files\eset\eset nod32 antivirus) when I execute the command and I added the base-dir switch.

ecls.exe C:\ /adv-heur /adware /arch /auto /boots /files /mail /no-log-all /pattern /quarantine /rtp /sfx /subdir /unsafe /unwanted /base-dir=c:\program files\eset\eset nod32 antivirus

 

Any ideas why the command line scanner doesn't work? I thought this would be a simple question.

 

I've copied/pasted your parameters on my computer (without the base-dir parameter which is not necessary when ecls is run from the installation folder with the engine and other modules) and a scan was run fine.

Try this:
- go to start - run and enter "command"
- enter "cd C:\PROGRA~1\ESET\ESETNO~1"
- enter "ecls.exe C:\ /adv-heur /adware /arch /auto /boots /files /mail /no-log-all /pattern /quarantine /rtp /sfx /subdir /unsafe /unwanted" (without speech marks

Does this work for you? If so, then you either did not previously run ecls from the installation folder or the problem was with spaces in the path; try putting speech marks at the beginning and end of the path like:
/base-dir="c:\program files\eset\eset nod32 antivirus"
