Unattended installation with an MSI file

For this type of unattended installation, use the Windows Installer (the Msiexec program). Extract the installation packages and the MSI file in advance, by using the graphical user interface of the setup program.

When you install components with an MSI file, you can use an MST transform file to customize the installation parameters. For more information on how to use the combination of MSI and MST files, see Installing components with MSI and MST files. You can use this installation method in an Active Directory domain to install protection agents by using Windows Group Policy. For more information, see Deploying agents through Group Policy.

Alternatively, you can specify the installation parameters manually on the command line. In this case, you do not need an MST file. For more information, see Installing and removing components with an MSI file and direct selection.
