Applies to:

Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 for Windows Workstations MP4

Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 SOS MP4

Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 for Windows Servers MP4

Kaspersky Administration Kit 8.0

In order to install the application in silent mode (without displaying dialogue boxes during installation) remotely, please do the following:

1. create a special file containing information about application components to install and general installation settings. There are two ways to do it:
   
   
• create an installation package for the application in Kaspersky Administration Kit and change the package as necessary (or use an existing package);
  
  
• for Kaspersky Antivirus version 6.0 MP4: manually create a setup.ini file containing necessary settings. Please see description of that file below.
  
  
2. copy a key file and an Anti-Virus configuration file (as necessary) into an installation package or a folder with application installation files (if you are not using Kaspersky Administration Kit).
   
   Install.cfg (configuration file) and key file should be saved into the subfolder exec of an installation package together with the msi file.
   
   
3. Run setup.exe (from an installation package or a distribution package) on a computer where you want to install the application in silent mode or install it using msiexec.exe. Files can be run with the following arguments:
   
   

• setup.exe [/pKLUNINSTPASSWD=password]:
• /s – silent installation without reboot
• /s /pALLOWREBOOT=1 - silent installation with reboot (without prompting)
• /v/qb - semi-silent installation without reboot (progress bar only)
• /v/qb /pALLOWREBOOT=1 - semi-silent installation with a prompt to reboot
  
  Arguments /v/qb and /pALLOWREBOOT are typed in without a delimiting space.
  Argument /pKLUNINSTPASSWD allows to set a password for application uninstallation.
  
  
• msiexec.exe /I [KLUNINSTPASSWD=]:
• /qn - silent installation without reboot
• /qn ALLOWREBOOT=1 - silent installation with reboot (without prompting)
• /qb - semi-silent installation without reboot (progress bar only)
• /qb ALLOWREBOOT=1 - semi-silent installation with a prompt to reboot
  
  Argument KLUNINSTPASSWD allows to set a password for application uninstallation.

If you are using arguments for silent and semi-silent installation, it is necessary to manually create setup.ini file, specify necessary settings in it and save it in Anti-Virus distribution package in order to install application Scan and Update tasks. System Scan and Update
