Avoiding "Windows Logo Certification" when doing software deployme

Bill Bradley

We use McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.0i, and, use their McAfee Installation
Designer (MID) to customize and slipstream it, adding in Patch 15 + Engine
5100 + Latest DAT + CMA 3.6 to make a silent package for remote or manual
installation.

When we did the similar thing with an older version, 7.1, we had 0 issues,
and not only could install it manually, but, could use SMS to deploy to
thousands of computers.

However, something in this new slipstream is triggering the Windows Logo
Certification message to popup (it just mentions the word "antivirus", so,
don't know what component is causing the issue) during the install, even
silent, and, this halts the install, unless the user is smart enough to press
the OK Button (and, most are scared to).

I've opened up a case with McAfee, and, found a KB on their site, 41957,
that admits this issue, but, offers no solution, and, they've been less than
helpful in effecting a solution.

Soooo....is there a way to turn off the Windows Logo check just for this
installation (I know how to turn it to ignore with a GPO, but, don't want to
do this)?

Thanks!
