Webroot Catalina Install / Update

[JKingsnorth]

Trying to install/update Webroot through scripts in Jamf.

We once had a script that worked very well but seems with Catalina no longer works even if it's updated with new links.

This is the old script:

#!/bin/sh

#set -x



#Set Keycode for Clients

KEY=<Keygoeshere>

 #Proxy Settings

host=X

port=Y

user=Z

password=ZZ



sleep 2



clear



#Download WSA mac client

 cd /tmp; curl -O http://anywhere.webrootcloudav.com/zerol/wsamacsme.dmg

 echo Please wait while file is downloaded and mounted

 wait 15



#Mount the DMG file

 hdiutil attach -nobrowse /tmp/wsamacsme.dmg



#copy app from dmg to applications

 sudo cp -R /Volumes/Webroot SecureAnywhere/Webroot SecureAnywhere.app /Applications/

 wait 10



#run silent install if no proxy (If running a Proxy Hash out this command)

 sudo "/Applications/Webroot SecureAnywhere.app/Contents/MacOS/Webroot SecureAnywhere" install -keycode=$KEY -language=en -silent

 #If running a proxy unhash this command

 #sudo "/Applications/Webroot SecureAnywhere.app/Contents/MacOS/Webroot SecureAnywhere" install -keycode=$KEY -language=en –silent -proxy_auth=auth_basic_1 -proxy_auth=auth_any_0 -proxy_host=$host -proxy_port=$port -proxy_user=$user -proxy_pass=$password



wait 30



#Unmount the DMG

 diskutil list | grep Webroot SecureAnywhere | diskutil unmount /Volumes/Webroot SecureAnywhere



#Remove the DMG

 rm -rf /tmp/wsamacsme.dmg

I tried using the old script and reinstalling because in another thread someone had mentioned the old link will download the newest version once the key is inserted but the installer itself appears to hang when opened.

I switched the link to the new link (provided by webroot) but the script fails once the installer is opened. Everything is run in the background so its unknown to me why the installer exits without installing.

New link: https://download.webroot.com/9.1.2.69_SME/WSAMACSME.dmg

I moved away from Webroot last summer so I don't have direct experience with Webroot in Catalina and I'm a bit rusty with the script, but here goes. . .

The script I used was very similar to yours except for 2 main differences. The biggest difference was that I didn't have a proxy to deal with. The other difference was in your #copy app from dmg to applications step you're using sudo cp -R --- where I just used ditto to move the app from the disk image to the Applications folder.

I'm not sure either are your issue, but it's also not clear to me where the script is falling down for you. You say "fails once the installer is opened" but that doesn't make any sense to me because at its core, the script curls the DMG and puts it to tmp, mounts the DMG, drags/copies the app to /Applications, sets the client keycode, unmounts the DMG, then cleans up the DMG. So I'm a bit confused because there's really no "installer" involved.

That said, here are the things I'd look at. . .
- First, can you run the script successfully on its own outside of Jamf?
- If you run the script and have a finder window open showing /tmp does it actually download the dmg correctly?
- From what I remember, when the script ran you could actually see the WSA disk image mounted on the desktop as the mount part of the script happens and then disappear as the unmount part happens. Perhaps that's because I didn't use the -nobrowse modifier in my script. Maybe take the -nobrowse modifier out just to see if it's actually mounting the disk image.
- What happens if you take out the lines dealing with the proxy and test on a machine not dealing with a proxy?
- Does Webroot SecureAnywhere.app ever make it to /Applications ?

Sorry to grave dig this thread, but I have a tested working version of that script. Works with Catalina and before. - enjoy

Anyone else running into issues with Mac OS 11 & 12?
