Is it possible to export the MSI installation package in the Policy Manager console for Linux?
Last updated
Issue:
Is it possible to export a Client Security or Server Security MSI installation package if Policy Manager Console is running on a Linux device?
Resolution:
You can prepare MSI packages for distributed installation within your managed network even if you have both Policy Manager Server and Policy Manager Console running on Linux.
With the Linux version of Policy Manager, you cannot use the base MSI file extracted from the JAR installation package to roll out WithSecure products to Windows hosts. However, you can use a command line tool to prepare the MSI file for distributed installation.
- Export the client installation JAR package from Policy Manager Console.
- Extract the content of the JAR archive on a Windows host.
- Run the following command:
-
- For Client Security: program\inst\one-launcher.exe –install –prepare_msi_only –msi OneClientCS.msi
- For Server Security: program\inst\one-launcher.exe –install –prepare_msi_only –msi OneClientSS.msi
The correct command is also given as the preparemsicommand property in the package.hdr file, which you can find in the root folder of the extracted content.
This command updates the .msi file given as the parameter for the –msi option. You can use this prepared MSI file to distribute the WithSecure product to Windows hosts in your network.
If the target MSI package is not updated, the log file may be useful for troubleshooting purposes. The location of the log file depends on your access rights when running the preparation command:
- With administrator rights and user access elevation: C:\ProgramData\F-Secure\Log\BusinessSuite\one-launcher.u.log
- Without user access elevation: C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\F-Secure\Log\BusinessSuite\one-launcher.u.log
