Technical Tip: Installing the Reveal Agent using the Windows CLI

The Reveal Agent can be installed via msiexec using the /i flag with the corresponding MSI package. For example:

msiexec /i agent_x64_release_signed.msi

Silent installation:

msiexec /i agent_x64_release_signed.msi /qn

Add the /qn for silent execution. Note that this may cause a restart on install or upgrade if the /norestart flag is not supplied.

Further documentation can be found in the Microsoft Documentation

Silent install, no restart:

msiexec /i agent_x64_release_signed.msi /qn /norestart

Note:

some tools such as SCCM/Configuration Manager will monitor for the return code and may still trigger a reboot even if the /norestart flag is supplied. Consult the deployment tool's documentation for further instructions.

Automatic Enrollment on install:

It is possible to specify either an enrollment code or a path to an enrollment bundle file as part of the CLI installation process.

For example:

msiexec /i agent_x64_release_signed.msi /qn /norestart ENROLL_CODE=v1.xxxxxx

Return codes & Logging:

To log the output of the Windows installer, add the /L*v flag. For example:

msiexec /i agent_x64_release_signed.msi /qn /norestart /L*v agent-install.log

The usual successful return codes for the agent installation are:

• 0: Success, no restart required.
• 3010: Success, some files in use, reboot required to complete.
