IBM Endpoint Manager, Version 9.0

Installing the client with MSI

You can use the Microsoft Installer (MSI) version of the Client to interpret the package and perform the installation automatically. This MSI version of the client (BESClientMSI.msi) is stored in the BESInstallers\ClientMSI folder. You can run this program directly to install the client or you can call it with arguments. Here are some sample commands, assuming that the MSI version of the Client is in the c:\BESInstallers\ClientMSI folder:

msiexec.exe /i c:\BESInstallers\ClientMSI\BESClientMSI.msi /T=TransformList /qn
The \qn command performs a silent installation.
msiexec.exe /i c:\BESInstallers\ClientMSI\BESClientMSI.msi INSTALLDIR="c:\myclient" /T=TransformList
This command installs the program in the given directory.

Note: /T=TransformList specifies what transform files (.mst) must be applied to the package. TransformList is a list of paths separated by semicolons. The following table describes the supplied transform files, the resulting language, and the numerical value to use in the msiexec command line.

Table 1.
Language	Transform File name	Value
U.S. English	1033.mst	1033
German	1031.mst	1031
French	1036.mst	1036
Spanish	1034.mst	1034
Italian	1040.mst	1040
Brazilian Portuguese	1046.mst	1046
Japanese	1041.mst	1041
Korean	1042.mst	1042
Simplified Chinese	2052.mst	2052
Traditional Chinese	1028.mst	1028

With the MSI version of the client installer, you can create a Group Policy Object (GPO) for BESClientMSI deployments. For more information about Group Policies, see the Microsoft knowledge base article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/887405.
