Installation Parameters 

The following table presents a full list of installation parameters. However, we recommend using them 

only if you have an actual reason to do so! Otherwise, we encourage you to use the 

AVG S Tool

 to 

create an installation script instead! 

Setup installation program parameters can begin with the `/' (slash) character. Some of them are 

correct only with a value specified; some of them can be specified with no value present. The space 

character serves as a division between both parameters and values. If the space character is in a 

value, it has to be enclosed in quotes. 

Examples: 

SETUP /TARGET_DIR  C:\Program Files\Grisoft\Avg7  

SETUP /ADMIN_DIR \\FILESRVR\AVG7DataCenter 

SETUP /QUIT_IF_INSTALLED /COMPANY  Acme Ltd.  /HIDE
