Deploy SophosConnect.msi silently?

ken9000

Are there switches or options available for the SophosConnect.msi documented anywhere? We do not use GPOs to deploy and would like to deploy this silently for example. The deployment KB article does not document this.

    What about a way to prevent it from installing a desktop shortcut for all users?

  • 0 in reply to ken9000

    I found I was able to remove the desktop shortcut by modifying the MSI itself.

    1. Download the Windows SDK ISO and mount it
    2. Navigate to Mounted ISO\Installer folder and run Orca-x86_en-us.msi to install Orca
    3. Open Orca and open the SophosConnect.msi using Orca
    4. Right click the "Shortcut" table and drop the table
    5. Save the SophosConnect.msi

    Note that modifying the MSI will leave it unsigned and may start prompting for UAC when run.  You might be able to get around this if you can run the installer as SYSTEM rather than current user.
