For me and what I continually use, the addition of the following would be great:

AVG Free (command line install: http://forums.avg.com/ww-en/avg-forums?sec=thread&act=show&id=195786#post_195786)
K-Lite Codec Pack Full (command line install: http://codecguide.com/silentinstall.htm)
TeraCopy

Thanks!

It looks like it launches the GUI for AVG after installing using that switch do you happen to know how to know a switch to suppress this?

LittlBUGer

I will work on that and let you know if it's possible.   :)

Here's a topic where it has an additional switch: http://forums.avg.com/us-en/avg-forums?sec=thread&act=show&id=195966

The switch is: /KillProcessesIfNeeded

I don't know if that means it kills another process to do the install (if an older AVG is installed) or if it means it kills that auto-launch as you described. I haven't tested but I have one other idea that I want to test first. Will get back to you...

I tried a trial download of Ninite Pro to see if I could gain any insight into how they do it (as their custom installer doesn't have anything pop up after the install) but no luck. Not sure what else to try other than contacting AVG directly I guess. Unfortunate, but obviously there is a way if Ninite can do it, maybe a registry entry, hmmm...

I know this is an old topic, but I just happened to stumble across something that might help and I still would really like AVG to be included in your wonderful tool. As noted HERE, it is said that after the installer, with all of those switches mentioned before, is finished, then running the following commands should do the trick to get rid of the GUI that pops up:


PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 5000 >NUL
taskkill /t /f /im avgui.exe


I realize that's not very clean but it could technically work. Please let me know what you think.

Thanks again for all of your hard work!  :-)
