Is there a MSI Installer available?

VannT

Hi All,

I'm wondering if there will be a MSI Installer at some point in the near future?  This would be use to push the Sophos Cloud via Group Policy

This would benefit a lot of people I reckon where by we can just deploy the full offline client to end points

Currently the following KB https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/121318 is used to create a full offline installer.  However this is just a exe file and not a MSI File.

Yes we could go through and use third-party tools to convert it from exe to MSI but sometimes these tools are not 100% effective.

    Unfortunately,

    What To Do

    1. Download 'SophosInstall.exe' from Sophos Central Admin:
      1. In Sophos Central Admin, click on the 'Protect Devices' link.
      2. Download the Windows installer by clicking 'Download Windows Protection Agent'

        Notes        :
        • The workstation and server Windows installer is the same file.  The installer determines the platform at install to influence the downloaded software.  
        • There is no MSI file available, only the SophosInstall.exe is available.
        • Do not use a user specific 'SophosInstall.exe' as received via the 'Email Deployment' workflow for the below deployment methods.  If you do, all devices will be associated to the Sophos Central user sent the email.
