Installing Light Agent for Windows via the command line

Light Agent installation from the command line must be performed with administrator privileges.

To install Light Agent for Windows from the command line in interactive mode, run one of the following commands:

• setup.exe
• msiexec /i <name of the installation package in MSI format>

The Installation wizard starts. Follow its instructions.

The setup.exe file and the installation package in MSI format are included in the Kaspersky Security distribution kit.

To install Light Agent for Windows from the command line in silent mode (without starting the Installation Wizard), run one of the following commands:

• setup.exe /s /pEulaAndPrivacyPolicy=1 /pALLOWREBOOT=1|0
• msiexec /i <name of the installation package in MSI format> EulaAndPrivacyPolicy=1 ALLOWREBOOT=1|0 /qn

where:

• EulaAndPrivacyPolicy=1 means that you accept the terms of the End User License Agreement and the Privacy Policy. The text of the End User License Agreement and Privacy Policy is included in the application distribution kit. You must accept the terms of the End User License Agreement and the Privacy Policy to install the application.
• ALLOWREBOOT=1|0 means that automatic reboot of the virtual machine is allowed / blocked, if required after installation. The parameter is optional. If the parameter value ALLOWREBOOT is not specified in the command, it means by default that you do not allow the virtual machine to reboot after installation of the application. Automatic reboot of the virtual machine is possible only in silent mode (with key /qn).

  A restart of the virtual machine may be required if third-party anti-virus software was detected and uninstalled during the installation of Light Agent for Windows.

To install Light Agent on a virtual machine that uses Citrix Provisioning Services technology, run one of the following commands:

• setup.exe /pINSTALLONPVS=1
• msiexec /i <name of the installation package in MSI format> INSTALLONPVS=1

To install Light Agent to a temporary virtual machine template, run one of the following commands:

• setup.exe /pUSEPVMDETECTION=1
• msiexec /i <name of the installation package in MSI format> USEPVMDETECTION=1

To install Light Agent with a password required for performing actions with the application, run one of the following commands:

• setup.exe /pKLLOGIN=<user name> /pKLPASSWD=***** /pKLPASSWDAREA=<password scope>
• msiexec /i <name of the installation package in MSI format> KLLOGIN=<user name> KLPASSWD=***** KLPASSWDAREA=<password scope>

Instead of <password scope>, you can specify one or several of the following values for the parameter KLPASSWDAREA, separated by a ";":

• SET. Set a password to modify the application settings.
• EXIT. Set a password to exit the application.
• UNINST. Set a password to uninstall the application from the virtual machine.
• DISPROTECT. Set a password to disable protection components and stop scan tasks.
• ENPROTECT. Set a password to enable protection components.
• DISCTRL. Set a password to disable control components.
• ENCTRL. Set a password to enable control components.
• DISPOLICY. Set a password to disable the Kaspersky Security Center policy.
• REPORTS. Set a password to view application reports.

You can use the following files while installing the application via the command line:

• Setup.ini. The file contains the general application installation settings. It is used when installing the Light Agent component from the command line or using the Active Directory Group Policy editor. The file setup.ini is created manually. A description of the setup.ini file parameters is provided on the application page in the Knowledge Base.
• The configuration file install.cfg. The file contains the Light Agent component settings and is used to import Light Agent settings when creating a Light Agent for Windows policy. It is also used to transfer configured application settings to a different protected virtual machine. The configuration file is created in the local interface of Light Agent.

The setup.ini and install.cfg files must be located in the same folder together with the installation package for Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 5.0 Light Agent.

Prior to beginning installation to the virtual machine, the virtual machine is searched for applications that could cause conflicts with Light Agents if allowed to run concurrently, and those applications are removed. If such applications could not be automatically removed, installation ends with an error.
