Using tools for remote installation of applications in Kaspersky Security Center for running relevant executable files on managed devices

Using the New Package Wizard, you can select any executable file and define the settings of the command line for it. For this you can add to the installation package either the selected file itself or the entire folder in which this file is stored. Then you must create the remote installation task and select the installation package that has been created.

While the task is running, the specified executable file with the defined settings of the command prompt will be run on target devices.

If you use installers in Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI) format, Kaspersky Security Center analyzes the installation results by means of standard tools.

If the Vulnerability and Patch Management license is available, Kaspersky Security Center (when creating an installation package for any supported application in the corporate environment) also uses rules for installation and analysis of installation results that are in its updatable database.

Otherwise, the default task for executable files waits for the completion of the running process, and of all its child processes. After completion of all of the running processes, the task will be completed successfully regardless of the return code of the initial process. To change such behavior of this task, before creating the task, you have to manually modify the .kpd files that were generated by Kaspersky Security Center in the folder of the newly created installation package and its subfolders.

For the task not to wait for the completion of the running process, set the value of the Wait setting to 0 in the [SetupProcessResult] section:

Example:

[SetupProcessResult]

Wait=0

For the task to wait only for the completion of the running process on Windows, not for the completion of all child processes, set the value of the WaitJob setting to 0 in the [SetupProcessResult], section, for example:

Example:

[SetupProcessResult]

WaitJob=0

For the task to complete successfully or return an error depending on the return code of the running process, list successful return codes in the [SetupProcessResult_SuccessCodes], section, for example:

Example:

[SetupProcessResult_SuccessCodes]

0=

3010=

In this case, any code other than those listed will result in an error returned.

To display a string with a comment on the successful completion of the task or an error in the task results, enter brief descriptions of errors corresponding to return codes of the process in the [SetupProcessResult_SuccessCodes] and [SetupProcessResult_ErrorCodes] sections, for example:

Example:

[SetupProcessResult_SuccessCodes]

0= Installation completed successfully

3010=A restart is required to complete the installation

[SetupProcessResult_ErrorCodes]

1602=Installation canceled by the user

1603=Fatal error during installation

To use Kaspersky Security Center tools for managing the device restart (if a restart is required to complete an operation), list the return codes of the process that indicate that a restart must be performed, in the [SetupProcessResult_NeedReboot] section:

Example:

[SetupProcessResult_NeedReboot]

3010=
