Below is my instructions for installing eTrust on a Citrix server. I
followed the instructions just yesterday and had no issues at all.
eTrust Anti-Virus 7.1
1) Change user /install mode and run setup.exe from CD-Rom. Defaults to all
prompts and reboot when prompted.
2) Change user /install then run cd:\english\bin\license\lang\en\setup.exe.
Once completed click "Finish".
3) Run M:\program files\ca\shared components\ca_lic\calicense.exe, type in
license key (YOUR KEY) and press "Add" then "Ok".
4) Check that the file "ca.olf" is created.
5) Right click eTrust icon and deselect "Display Logo", and "Animated Icon".
6) Setup real time scan options, daily scan 4am Vet, and auto download
updates as per normal install.
7) Edit registry to remove eTrust real time monitor from running.
HKEY_Local_Machine_Software_Microsoft_Windows_CurrentVersion_Run and remove
key pointing to realmon.exe
8) Turn off "Realtime Pop-up Messages".
9) Test with EICAR test virus.
Are you trying to script the install and that is why your having issues?

I realize that it will install and run on a TS and I've read through the
Whitepaper. The problem I have with the Installer is launched it will not
wait until the application is complete before the rest of the script
continues. Adding a "start /wait" to beginning of the setup /s line does
not help.
The alternate method is to use the .msi and feed the .msi the .icf you wish
to use. So the line looks something like:
Start /wait msiexec /i "eTrust Antivirus.msi" /qn INO_ICFFILE="custom.icf"
At first, this appears to works but if you have anything specified in the
[PostAction] section of the .icf, that part is not executed. I can try to
these updates afterwards, but then I'm back to problem #1.
The answer is to add a sleep command (if you have the resource kit
installed), but that's so ineffecients. I have a VB script that identifies
and waits for a process to end. It works great for the Oracle Client
install, but not for this...

In fact, I'm on a TS running eTrust 7.1.501 as

There is actually a whitepaper on how to install in a TS environment. It
includes turning off the realmon.exe. Personally I have not had a problem
with CA yet but I don't think it detects viruses very well. It seems to
sometimes not detect what other vendors do.

Their installer is crap. That, and like McAfee you have to modify the
registry to turn off the splash screen and RealMonitor Animation. Actually,
it's best to remove RealMon.exe value from the Run key if you want a usable
TS. You'd think they'd be able to detect a TS install and shut this off.

What is wrong with CA? I don't think it is that great but would be curious
as to your experience.

Hi,
I'd suggest Trend.
Certainly can't recommend McAfee's or CA.

Trend Micro is the best imho
We are also trialling F-Secure, and it seems to be pretty ok as well...
