Because Windows 95 and Windows 98 execute the login script at the same
time they act on the contents of the RunOnce key, however, they will try to run
another instance of Setup while, at the same time, they try to resume the
previous Setup you started. MSI does not permit more than one instance of
Setup to run at the same time.
Adding the /LSCRIPT option to the command line causes Setup to place a flag
in the RunServicesOnce registry key, which Windows executes before it runs
the login script. If your login script checks for the presence of the default
VirusScan program directory before it runs Setup, therefore, Windows will not
try to run Setup a second time.
In order to use a login script for this purpose, you must also copy or "push"
the VirusScan installation package to a local directory on the target computer.
You may not use a login script to install VirusScan software from elsewhere on
your network. To install VirusScan software from a remote location on the
network, use McAfee Management Edition or McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator
management software.

Using Management Edition software

Management Edition distribution software allows you to distribute McAfee
anti-virus software from a single console on your network. It installs,
configures, upgrades, and removes anti-virus software for remote machines
on a network. It installs anti-virus software to domains you create, and from
repositories that you create. You control activities from the Management
Edition Console, a drag-and-drop application that runs on Microsoft
Windows NT.
Once the Management Edition components are installed in the master
repository, you are ready to install anti-virus software into the Repository.
Follow these steps:
1. In the Management Console main menu, click Tools, then choose
2. Click Install.
NOTE: If you plan to install VirusScan software to a Windows NT
Workstation v4.0 or a Windows 2000 system via login scripts, you do not
need to include the /LSCRIPT option in your command line.
Repository.
The Repository dialog box displays the Products page. It contains the
management components that are currently in the Repository.
