Hello everyone,
I'm stuck on creating a Kaspersky package (Kaspersky Security Center 10 administration agent).
It consists of a setup.exe file which then launches an MSI file. (And you can't launch the MSI file on its own; it requires the setup file to be run first.)
So I don't see how to perform a silent installation using the MSI settings by launching setup.exe.
If someone could point me in the right direction, that would be great.
setup.exe which calls an msi

Hello,
For the Kaspersky agent, you can use the command `setup.exe /s`,
for example: `install_exe_if_needed(r'setup.exe','/s',min_version='your agent version',timeout=180)`.
Personally, I use the executable provided in the agent's installation package, which is located in the shared directory of the KES server (if you have an agent, you have a Kaspersky management server with a "share" folder on the server). This executable also includes the server connection information (the `nagent.kud` file).
With a utility like Superorca (http://www.pantaray.com/msi_super_orca.html), you can find all the properties of an MSI file, including the arguments to pass for installation. Perhaps it's possible to bypass setup.exe by passing a few arguments? I haven't tested it... but the `setup.exe /s` method is much simpler.

Hello,
at the end of July I tried this command by chance and it worked fine.
On the Kaspersky website, they only documented either the .msi file or a separate setup file, which I didn't have.
My problem was that I didn't have access to the KES server (I was only sent an executable for clients).
Thanks for the information

Hello,
We have Kaspersky Endpoint Security and a KSC server
. From the console, I created an installation package (agent + antivirus)
. I then transformed this package into a standalone package (see the Kaspersky documentation)
. I retrieved a large setup.exe file
. Finally, I created the WAPT package with the setup.exe
: install_exe_if_needed("setup.exe",'/s',key='',min_version='10.3.0.6294').
It was a struggle, but it works for us. However, I had real problems with Kaspersky version 10.2.xx.
