Install Using the Child Installers
• To install each client individually, the child executable les must rst be extracted from the Endpoint Security Suite Pro master installer,
as shown in Extract the Child Installers from the Master Installer.
• Command examples included in this section assume the commands are run from C:\extracted.
• Command line switches and parameters are case-sensitive.
• Be sure to enclose a value that contains one or more special characters, such as a blank space in the command line, in escaped
quotation marks.
• Use these installers to install the clients using a scripted installation, batch les, or any other push technology available to your
organization.
• The reboot has been suppressed in the command line examples. However, an eventual reboot is required. Encryption cannot begin until
the computer has rebooted.
• Log les - Windows creates unique child installer installation log les for the logged in user at %temp%, located at C:\Users
\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Temp.
If you decide to add separate a log le when you run the installer, ensure that the log le has a unique name, as child installer log les do
not append. The standard .msi command can be used be create a log le by using /l*v C:\<any directory>\<any log le name>.log.
• All child installers use the same basic .msi switches and display options, except where noted, for command line installations. The
switches must be specied rst. The /v switch is required and takes an argument. Other parameters go inside an argument that is
passed to the /v switch.
Display options can be specied at the end of the argument passed to the /v switch to achieve the expected behavior. Do not use
both /q and /qn in the same command line. Only use ! and - after /qb.
