Subject: SAM Installer Scripts
In response to some complaints on the Internet
regarding the un-intuitive installer script for
Symmantec's popular virus program SAM* 3.5.
Symmantec's script will not do an installation
if you have replaced the original Virus Definition
file. Go figure! I don't know about you, but I
update mine when necessary on the original disks.
I have created my own scripts which should work
fine. I have System 7.1, and I know it works there,
but I also have created a System 6 installer. It
should work fine, but I have no place to test it.
Only the target folders have changed. These scripts
only recognize the Virus Definitions file on the
Decontamination Disk, so make sure that is where
you place your updated Definition file.
If you decide to use these, please just e-mail me
and let me know that you have used it. Also, let
me know about any troubles you may have. I can be
reached at the following addresses:
