Creating an installation package

This article describes the procedure of creating the following types of installation packages:

• Installation package for a Kaspersky application
• Installation package for a specified executable file
• Installation package for an application from the Kaspersky database

You do not have to create an installation package manually for the remote installation of Network Agent. It is created automatically during the installation of Kaspersky Security Center and stored in the Installation packages folder. If the package for the remote installation of Network Agent has been deleted, you can re-create it by selecting the nagent.kud file in the NetAgent folder of the Kaspersky Security Center distribution package.

To create an installation package:

1. Connect to the necessary Administration Server.
2. In the console tree, select Advanced → Remote installation → Installation packages.
3. Start the creation of a new installation package in one of the following ways:
   • Right-click the Installation packages folder, and then select New → Installation package from the context menu.
   • Right-click in the empty area of the installation packages list, and then select Create → Installation package from the context menu.
   • Click Create installation package in the installation packages list management section.

   The New package wizard starts.

4. Select one of the following installation package types by clicking the corresponding icon:
   • Installation package for a Kaspersky application.
   • Installation package for a specified executable file.
   • Installation package for an application from the Kaspersky database.
5. Specify the name of the installation package to be created.

   You can specify any name.

6. Select the application or executable file for which the installation package is to be created, in one of the following ways:
   • Click the Browse button and, in the standard Windows Open window, select the distribution package of the required application located on available disks.

     This option is applicable if you choose to create an installation package for a Kaspersky application or for a specified executable file.

   • Click the Browse button and, in the Select application window, select the distribution package of the required application.

     This option is applicable if you choose to create an installation package for an application from the Kaspersky database.

   If you are creating an installation package for Administration Server, select the sc.kud file. The sc.kud file is located in the root folder of the Kaspersky Security Center distribution package.

   Do not specify any details of privileged accounts in the parameters of installation packages.

7. Review the End User License Agreement and Privacy Policy.

   When creating an installation package for an application, you may be prompted to view and accept an End User License Agreement and a Privacy Policy for that application.

   Read both documents. If you agree with all the terms of the License Agreement and the Privacy Policy, accept them by selecting the corresponding check boxes.

   The installation of the application on your device continues, and the creation of the installation package resumes.

   If you are creating an installation package for Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Mac, you can choose the language for the License Agreement and Privacy Policy.

8. If necessary, enable automatic installation of system components.

   If you are creating an installation package for an application from the Kaspersky database, you can enable the automatic installation of necessary system components. The New package wizard displays a list of all available system components for the selected application. You can access this list at any time in the installation package properties.

   If you are creating a patch installation package, the list includes all system components needed for the deployment of this patch.

9. Click the Finish button to complete the package creation process.

Once the New package wizard completes, the new installation package appears in the workspace of the Installation packages folder in the console tree.
