Creating an installation package

This section describes the procedure of creating installation packages.

You do not have to manually create an installation package 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 select New → Installation package from the context menu.
   • Right-click in the empty area of the installation packages list and 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. Review 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.

5. Enable automatic installation of system components (optional).

   If you are creating an installation package for an application from the Kaspersky database, you can enable the automatic installation of necessary system components (prerequisites). 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 prerequisites needed for the patch deployment.

6. Follow the instructions of the wizard to complete the installation process.

   Updates of managed applications may require a specific minimum version of Kaspersky Security Center to be installed. If this version is later than your current version, these updates are displayed but cannot be approved. Also, no installation packages can be created from such updates until you upgrade Kaspersky Security Center. You are prompted to upgrade your Kaspersky Security Center instance to the required minimum version.

   If you are creating an installation package for Administration Server, select the sc.kud file on the Selecting the distribution package for installation stage of the New package wizard. 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.

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