McAfee Enterprise 8.8 : command line to find version of DAT

[Former Member]

Hello,

I would like to know the command line to find the version of the DAT file.

I don't want to use the graphic interface.

Or maybe, there is a file inside the Windows system where I can find the good value.

For exemple : today is 7221.0000

Regards,

UpdateLog.txt

Hello,

WHY under Windows XP, the log "UpdateLog.txt" use the date format like this MM/D/YYYY ?

WHY NOT use this format : MM/DD/YYYY ?
I mean 2 letter for the day, not only 1 !  (01,02,03,04,09,10,11 to 31)

Is there a fix for this BUG ?

Under Windows 2008, the date format use 2 letter for the day ...

To answer the original question, you can use csscan.exe:

>csscan.exe -Versions | find "DAT"

    DAT version:    7222.0

You will find csscan.exe in:

"C:\Program Files\Common Files\McAfee\SystemCore"

If you are looking for what is currently installed:

for /F "usebackq skip=2 tokens=1-2*" %%G in (`Reg QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\McAfee\AVEngine" /v "AVDatDate" 2^>NUL`) do set AVDatDate=%%I

for /F "usebackq skip=2 tokens=1-2*" %%G in (`Reg QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\McAfee\AVEngine" /v "AVDatVersion" 2^>NUL`) do set /a AVDatVersion=%%I

echo %AVDatDate% is %AVDatVersion%

This should output something like this:

2013/10/09 is 7223

As for the version available for download:

Download http://update.nai.com/products/commonupdater/gdeltaavv.ini

(Use your favorite command line tool, such as wget or curl).

Within gdeltaavv.ini:

for /F "usebackq skip=2 delims== tokens=1,2*" %%m in (`Find /I "CurrentVersion" gdeltaavv.ini 2^>NUL`) do set /a CurrentVersion=%%n

for /F "usebackq skip=2 delims== tokens=1,2*" %%m in (`Find /I "Created" gdeltaavv.ini 2^>NUL`) do set Created=%%n

echo  CurrentVersion=%CurrentVersion% created on %Created%

This should output something like this:

CurrentVersion=7224 created on Thu Oct 10 06:22:09 2013

Hope this helps.
