FortiClient offline installer

[mark_major]

Hello,

Where can we find offline installers for FortiClient, please?  I.E. this version and all future versions.

Often the process of the FortiClient installer connecting to the server and obtaining the files is the longest part of a job.  At least if we had an offline installer, we could anticipate how long the file would take to transfer or do it as a background process, etc.  My current install (update) to FortiClient on a remote laptop has taken half an hour to get to 15%.

Thanks,

Mark

Hi,

Sometimes I (and the end user) am waiting 10+ minutes for the 'retrieving servers' and 'downloading' stages of the online installer.  This could all be avoided if I could just grab an offline installer from the Fortinet site via the end-users home Internet or silently transfer an offline installer via TeamViewer/VPN in advance.  It is not at all productive for them or myself to watch an installer download stuff for up to 20 minutes.

Oh well,

Mark

same sentiments bro. :(

hi,

I had same problem for ages and i have it right now, being away from my work place, withonly a wan connexion, and i dont have the credentials for login in with my organisation licence...

Like said above online installer is most of time very slow, that is a fact, that is very annoying when deploying this to a end user.

So why not provide a faster way to get the FC ?

I dont understand this...

Especially when you only just need to download it once, check your temporary files in C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Temp when the 'real setup' is engaging and get the FortiCLIENTVPN.exe file generated by the online installer, which is the full setup.

That 's it, you got an offline installer...

Thank you

Why is there no answer from Fortigate??? Downloading Forticlient image is ridiculous. It's ridiculous from Usa, from Canada, from Europe. I have 600 M Internet and I'm downloading small VPN file for one hour.

Get your sh#t together guys....
