In addition to remote installation of ESET products, ESET Remote
Administrator is capable of installing other programs. The only
requirement is that the custom install package must be in the
.msi format. The remote installation of
custom packages can be performed using a process very similar
to the one described in chapter Remote installation.
The main difference is in the package creation process, which is
as follows:
| 1)
|
From ERAC, click the Remote Install
tab. |
| 2)
|
Click the Packages
button. |
| 3)
|
From the Package type drop-down menu select Custom package. |
| 4)
|
Click Add
, click Add file and select the desired .msi package. |
| 5)
|
Select the file from the Package Entry
File drop-down menu and click Create. |
| 6)
|
After returning to the original window you can specify command
line parameters for the .msi file. The
parameters are the same as for a local installation of the
given package. |
| 7)
|
Click Save as
to save the
package. |
| 8)
|
Click Close to exit the installation
package editor. |
The newly created custom package can be distributed to client
workstations in the same manner as the remote installations
described in previous chapters. A remote push install, logon or
email push install will send the package to target workstations.
From the moment the package is executed, installation is handled by
the Microsoft Windows Installer service.
