NG force install switch
« on: October 18, 2014, 05:30:24 PM »
Any chance to get an installer commandline switch to force NG install even if it's not allowed per detection of the installer?

I would agree with that, after all there are options for other non security functions (GrimeFighter, etc.) in the avast setup/installation routine.

I mean, when iw as testing NG before it worked perfectly fine on tablet and low power laptop and NG will now be lost on both because of some artificial limit set at 2GHz CPU as a minimum requirement. WHich is silly if you ask me but oh well. If i could use a switch to force the installer to do it my way with NG, it wouldn't even matter...

I had done an auto update from v203 to and didn't have NG installed.
I restored my system to before the update and than did a manual install of the latest release
and NG is now installed as it had been in the second release.
