Examples of common deployments on Windows

Examples of common deployments on Windows

Standard MSI example
Standard EXE example

The most common Managed Installation package deployments are MSI, EXE, and ZIP files.

Standard MSI example

Using MSI files is an easy, self-contained way to deploy software to Windows devices. If your MSI file requires no special transformation or customization, the deployment is straightforward.

MSI files require a /i switch when using other switches with an install.

The appliance parameter line does not require the filename or msiexec syntax. Only the /* input is required:

/qn /I (Correct)

msiexec /I /qn (Incorrect)

* 
NOTE: To use parameters with MSI files, all your target devices must have the same version of Windows Installer (available from Microsoft). Some switches might not be active on older versions. The most up-to-date version of Windows Installer can be distributed to devices from the appliance.
Tip:
 
TIP: If you are using Windows Installer 3.0 or higher, you can identify the supported parameters by selecting the Run program available from the Start menu. Enter msiexec in the pop-up window. A window that shows the supported parameters list appears.
Standard EXE example

EXE files are similar to MSI files with one exception.

EXE files differ from MSI files as follows: /I is not required in the Run Parameters line when using an EXE file.

When using an executable file, it is often helpful to identify switch parameters for a quiet or silent installation. To switch parameters, specify /? in the Run Parameters field.

Create Managed Installations for ZIP files

Create Managed Installations for ZIP files

Deploying software using a ZIP file is a convenient way to package software when multiple files are required to deploy a title.

For example, a software title might require a setup.exe file, configuration files, and data files. If you have a CD-ROM that contains a group of files required to install a particular application, you can package them together in a ZIP file and upload them to the appliance for deployment.

* 
NOTE: The KACE Agent automatically runs deployment packages with MSI and EXE extensions.
NOTE: In addition, you can create a ZIP archive that contains many files and direct the appliance to unpack the archive and run a specific file. Place the name of the file that you want to run in the command (executable) field within the deployment package (for example, runthis.exe).

To distribute applications to managed devices, you must attach the digital assets, which are the files required for installation, to applications. In addition, you must select the supported operating systems for applications. See Attach digital assets to applications and select supported operating systems.

1.
Browse to the location that contains the necessary installation files, select all the files and create a ZIP file using a utility such as WinZIP®.
2.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console.
3.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
4.
Create an inventory item for the target deployment.
You can do this manually from the Inventory > Software page or by installing the package on a device that regularly connects to the appliance. See About the Software page.
5.
Associate the ZIP file with the inventory item and upload it to the appliance:
a.
On the left navigation bar, click Distribution, then click Managed Installations.
b.
Select Choose Action > New.
c.
Select the application title that the ZIP file is associated with from the Software drop-down list. To see all application titles, clear the check box Only display records with an associated file.
6.
In the Additional Parameters field, specify the complete command with arguments.
For example: setup.exe /qn
7.
Specify additional settings as needed.
See Create Managed Installations for Windows devices.
8.
Click Save.
