ThunderBYTE Anti-Virus
======================
This distribution of ThunderBYTE Anti-Virus (TBAV) for Windows comprises the
latest release of TBAV for Windows.
1) Understanding the automatic update feature
2) Making special installation sets
3) Automatic update feature for laptops
1) Understanding the automatic update feature
---------------------------------------------
This release provides you with an automatic update feature. Using this
option of TBAV for Windows, it is possible to automatically update
this version to a more recent version.
To configure the automatic update feature, you can either install TBAV
for Windows in the normal way and alter the setting via the 'Options'
menu by clicking the 'Automatic Update feature' item, or you can
edit the accompanying TbLoad.Ini file manually.
The TbLoad.Ini file comprises three keywords:
[TbLoad]
UpdateDir=C:\TBAV\UPDATE ; or C:\TBAVWNT, C:\TBAVW95
TimeStamp=04-03-1996, 07:01:00
UseTbLoad=1
The first keyword, 'UpdateDir', specifies the (shared) directory that
will contain the files of newer releases. In a network environment, we
recommend you to dedicate a public server directory for TBAV updates.
The second keyword labeled 'TimeStamp' is used by the automatic update
feature to see wether or not files need to be updated. This timestamp
refers to the last time TBAV for Windows was updated automatically.
The last keyword is used to enable or disable the Automatic update
feature. When this line says 'UseTbLoad=1' automatic updating is enabled.
You can switch the automatic update feature off by changing the line
into 'UseTbLoad=0'.
Please specify the update directory parameter in TbLoad.Ini carefully! We
receive a lot of support calls from users who tell us that the Automatic
Update Feature doesn't work; after some time we always find out that the
users didn't change the 'UpdateDir' entry in TbLoad.Ini to their own
settings. So, if your system administrator created a dedicated public
network directory for TBAV updates, eg., "J:\PUBLIC\TBAV_UPD", remember to
change the 'UpdateDir' entry in TbLoad.Ini to 'UpdateDir=J:\PUBLIC\TBAV_UPD'.
2) Making special installation sets
-----------------------------------
By changing some options in the SETUP.INF you can alter the default
settings from the Windows SETUP dialogs.
The default settings are put in the [Defaults] section in the SETUP.INF.
Following is a list of settings which defaults can be altered.
DestinationPath = C:\TBAV
Installation = 0 ; 0 = First-time, express installation
; 1 = First-time, custom installation
; 2 = Update installation
The following options only hold for First-time, express installation
Per default 0 = No, and 1 = Yes on the given command.
