Hi All,

Whenever sql server setup extracted some of antivirus (Symantec, Bit Defender ) will cause setup failure,

Because of file ‘autorun.inf’ containing in sql server setup installation package.

Is there any way that I can resolve this problem without modifying/configuring/disabling Anti-Virus

software ?

Or I can make such self extractor exe that does not contains ‘autorun.inf’ file and it will install sql

server for my case ?

Thanks,
Paul

autorun.inf contains details of how to handle newly attached drives. Place a disk in the DVD drive, and the autorun.inf file will determine which file on the DVD is executed. I'm not sure why your AV would prevent you using a DVD with an autorun.inf file, most of them have one.

Are your install files on a DVD, or another filesystem?
