With a direct installation, the administrator is present at
the computer where the ESET security product is to be installed.
This method requires no further preparation and is suitable for
small computer networks or in scenarios where ERA is not used.
This task can be greatly simplified with the help of
a predefined.xml configuration. No further modification, such
as defining an update server (username and password, path to
a Mirror server, etc.), silent mode, scheduled scan, etc., is
required during or after installation.
There are differences in applying the .xml configuration format
between versions 4.x, 3.x and 2.x of ESET client solutions:
|
·
|
Version 4.x: Download the installation file (e.g., ess_nt32_enu.msi) from eset.com and create your own installation package
in the Installation Packages Editor. Edit/Select
the configuration that you want to associate with this package,
press the Copy... button next to the
Package for Windows NT xx bit systems
field and save the package as ESET Install Msi File With Configuration (*.msi).
NOTE: Adding a configuration to the
.msi installation file means the
digital signature of this file will no longer be valid.
In addition, the steps from version 3.x apply to version 4.x as
well. |

|
Version 3.x: Download the installation file (e.g., ess_nt32_enu.msi) from eset.com. Copy the configuration file (cfg.xml) to the directory where the install file is
located. Upon execution, the installer will automatically adopt the
configuration from the .xml
configuration file. If the .xml
configuration file has a different name or is located
somewhere else, the parameter ADMINCFG =path_to_xml_file can be used
(e.g., ess_nt32_enu.msi ADMINCFG =\\server\xml\settings.xml
to apply the configuration stored on a network drive). |

|
Version 2.x: Download the installation file (e.g.,
ndntenst.exe) from eset.com. Extract the downloaded file to
a folder using a file extraction program such as WinRAR.
The folder will contain installation files, including setup.exe. Copy the nod32.xml configuration file to the folder. Run the
setup.exe file the configuration
within nod32.xml will be automatically
applied. If the .xml configuration file
has a different name, or is located somewhere else, the
parameter /cfg =path_to_xml_file
can be used. (e.g. setup.exe
/cfg =\\server\xml\settings.xml to apply the
configuration stored on a network drive). |
