Hello everyone

how can import and export xml config file in eset 8 and older?

i can export eset settings to config xml file in version 12, like this:

ecmd /getcfg c:\config.xml

and also can import the xml config file to the eset in version 12, like this:

ecmd /setcfg c:\config.xml

 

but i need do this in verion 8 and older!

how can I do this?

It is not possible.

Elaborating, Eset switched the GUI to the Win Metro interface on vers. 9+. As such, all ver. 8 custom rules and the like will have to be re-entered from scratch. This does bring back painful memories ..........................

To put it right, you can export and import cfg within gui in legacy versions but cfg files between v8 and v9+ are not compatible.

But what about the version 9 ?

Is there a command to import the XML file without having to enter the gui?

Like:

ecmd /setcfg c:\config.xml

Again, you can not import into vers. 9 and later from an export file created in ver. 8 and prior.

Eset internally changed the  formatting of the GUI to support the Win Metro interface. Additionally, the GUI layout pages were also changed. Unfortunately, Eset did not provide a ver. 8 formatted export file conversion utility either. All your existing ver. 8 settings and rules will have to be manually re-entered.

You should have upgraded from ver. 8 long ago.

You could install the latest version v12.2 over v8; the settings should be converted alright and subsequently you can export the configuration from v12 and import it into v12 installed on another machine for instance.
