Force reinstall parameter

A while back an ESET rep emailed me a parameter you can add to the command line portion of the client package creation window in ESET BE NOD32 that would force a reinstall of the client package regardless of it being previously installed, does ayone have that setting? I lost it.

 

You may be refering to the switch offiered at the end of this thread.

 

Perfect, I've been looking for that too Many thanks!

 

Always glad to be of assistance!

 

No, that didn't work for me. The error from the ERAS states the client already has the package even though they do not. I need to have the server ignore the "already installed" check

Exact error from debug log --
" <RINSTALL_WARNING> SayHello: command agent ('xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx') has already instaled packege (Name: NOD32 Win x86-x64 - LAN Config (Force), Type: 2) on this computer, agent stopped (1)"

 

Use the /F option to fix/replace/reinstall the files and registry keys http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa367988(v=vs.85).aspx

if your intention is ignore third party products, use the ignore conflicts option described in the post above.

 

Another option would be to follow the instructions here to completly remove any remnants of ESET on that machine. If there are remnants such as, the hidden ehdrv driver, this may cause a forced installation to be less than optimal.

 

Actually, ESET support turned me on to the fix. The problem is a failed install task was present on the ERAS. The client was going up to get the installer and the ERAS was under the impression it was installed already. I deleted the finished installer tasks, tried again, and it worked great!

 

Good to hear! Glad you were able to get the issue resolved.
