Creating installation packages from a file
You can use custom installation packages to do the following:
- To install any application (such as a text editor) on a client device, for example, by means of a task.
- To create a stand-alone installation package.
A custom installation package is a folder with a set of files. The source to create a custom installation package is an archive file. The archive file contains a file or files that must be included in the custom installation package.
While creating a custom installation package, you can specify command-line parameters, for example, to install the application in silent mode.
To create a custom installation package:
- Do one of the following:
- Go to 發現和佈署 → 佈署和分配 → 安裝套件.
- Go to 操作 → 儲存區 → 安裝套件.
A list of installation packages available on the Administration Server is displayed.
- Click 新增.
The New Package Wizard starts. Proceed through the Wizard by using the 下一步 button.

- On the next page of the Wizard, specify the package name and click the 瀏覽 button.

You can upload a ZIP, CAB, TAR, or TAR.GZ archive file. It is not possible to create an installation package from an SFX (self-extracting archive) file.
File upload to the Administration Server starts.
- If you specified a file of a Kaspersky application, you may be prompted to read and accept the End User License Agreement (EULA) for the application. To continue, you must accept the EULA. Select the 接受此最終使用者產品授權協議的條款和條件 option only if you have fully read, understand and accept the terms of the EULA.
Additionally, you may be prompted to read and accept the Privacy Policy. To continue, you must accept the Privacy Policy. Select the 我接受隱私政策 option only if you understand and agree that your data will be handled and transmitted (including to third countries) as described in the Privacy Policy.
- On the next page of the Wizard, select a file (from the list of files that are extracted from the chosen archive file) and specify the command-line parameters of an executable file.
You can specify command-line parameters to install the application from the installation package in a silent mode. Specifying command-line parameters is optional.
The process to create the installation package is started.
The Wizard informs you when the process is finished.
If the installation package is not created, an appropriate message is displayed.
