Prior to beginning installation, you need to unpack the distribution package of Light Agent for Windows in a folder on the virtual machine that you want to protect.
To install the Light Agent for Windows component on the virtual machine using the Installation Wizard:
- In the operating system of the virtual machine that you want to protect, run the file setup.exe from the Light Agent for Windows distribution kit.
The Light Agent Installation Wizard starts.

The Installation Wizard checks whether the following conditions have been fulfilled:
- Compliance of the operating system on the virtual machine with the software requirements.
If a condition is not met, a notification is displayed on the screen.
- There is no incompatible software installed on the virtual machine.
The Installation Wizard performs a search of the virtual machine for applications that could cause conflicts with Light Agents if allowed to run concurrently. If such applications are found, the Installation wizard displays a list of them and prompts to confirm their deletion. After confirmation, the installation wizard attempts to remove the applications automatically. If the application uninstallation requires restart of the virtual machine, the Installation Wizard displays a warning that the virtual machine must be restarted.
If applications that cannot be deleted automatically are detected on the virtual machine, the Installation Wizard prompts you to remove them manually.
You can review the list of incompatible software in the incompatible.txt file that is included in the Kaspersky Security application distribution kit.
- Compliance of the operating system on the virtual machine with the software requirements.
During installation, the virtual machine is scanned for active infection. If a threat is detected and disinfection is not possible, installation finishes with an error.
