In Kaspersky Security Center Web Console, you can create an installation package in one of the following ways:
If you plan to use Kaspersky Endpoint Security in Light Agent mode to protect virtual environments or want to configure additional application installation settings, you need to prepare the files to be included in the installation package and create a package from an archive.
If you plan to use Kaspersky Endpoint Security in standalone mode and do not need to configure additional installation settings, you can create an installation package from a distribution kit hosted on Kaspersky servers.
To prepare an archive for creating an installation package:
If you do not want to install a graphical user interface, do not use these files; this will make the installation package smaller.
If Kaspersky Endpoint Security is used in Light Agent mode to protect virtual environments, the graphical user interface is not supported.
If the graphical user interface will not be used, you need to set the USE_GUI=No
parameter-value pair in the autoinstall.ini configuration file. Otherwise, the installation will fail.
If you want to use the created installation package to install the application on several types of operating systems or package managers, place the files for all the required types of operating systems and package managers in the folder.
UPDATE_EXECUTE=no
. The autoinstall.ini file is located in the folder where you unpacked the kesl.zip archive.If you plan to use Kaspersky Endpoint Security in Light Agent mode to protect virtual environments, you need to set the KSVLA_MODE=yes
setting in the autoinstall.ini configuration file.
To create an installation package for Kaspersky Endpoint Security in Kaspersky Security Center Web Console:
A list of installation packages available on the Administration Server opens.
The wizard for creating an installation package will start. Follow the instructions of the Wizard.
Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console does not allow creation of installation packages from a file.
The installation package will be created and added to the list of installation packages. Using the installation package, you can install the application on devices in the corporate network or update the application version.
In the installation package properties, you can also configure the application installation settings (see the table below) on the Settings tab.
An installation package for Kaspersky Endpoint Security cannot be configured in Kaspersky Security Center Web Console versions lower than 14.2. Use the autoinstall.ini configuration file to configure settings.
