How to create an installation package with an updated PAV.SIG

The main objective of this FAQ is to detail the process of generating an installation package with an updated PAV.SIG file.

This process is suitable for companies with slow communication lines as it would prevent them from collapsing when the protection ( Panda Security for Desktops, Panda Security for File Servers etc…) is installed.

• Installation of the package with an updated pav.sig:

1. From the console, go to Tools–> Updates and repositories–> Packages.

2. Select the protection you wish to install , for example, Panda Security for Desktops, and click on Generate Installer…
   The package contains three files:

   • *.EXE

   • *.DAT

   • *.

     INI
     In the case of Panda Security for Desktops, the files are:
     AVTC.EXE, CRC.DAT and CONFAVTC.INI

3. Edit the *.INI file.

4. Add the following line to the file:

   [files]
   pav.sig=\pav.sig
   

5. Save the changes.

6. Copy an updated PAV.SIG file ( either from the SIGNATURE folder or from the download area at the Website ) in the same directory where the three installation files are located.

7. Copy the four resulting files in the machine where the protection is going to be installed and run the *.EXE file.

   In the case of Panda Security for Desktops, the file to execute is AVTC.EXE.

NOTE:

The name of the configuration files vary depending on which protection is going to be installed:

Panda Security for Desktops (Windows NT-2000-XP) confAVTC.ini

Panda Security for File Servers (Novell NetWare) confAVNW.ini

Panda Security for File Servers (Windows NT-2000-2003) confAVNT.ini
