No, do this....

Code:
#!/usr/bin/bash 
echo -n "Enter the number 1 to install then press  [ENTER]: " 
read INSTALL  
if [ $INSTALL = 1 ] 
then 
sh /tmp/symantecuninstall.sh 
else 
echo "Not installing" 
fi

And if you don't care about providing feedback, you can do:

Code:
#!/usr/bin/bash
 echo -n "Enter the number 1 to install then press  [ENTER]: " 
read INSTALL  
if [ $INSTALL = 1 ] 
then 
sh /tmp/symantecuninstall.sh 
fi
