Agent command-line options
Use the Command Agent (CMDAGENT.EXE) tool to perform selected agent tasks from the
managed system. CMDAGENT.EXE is installed on the managed system at the time of agent
installation. Perform this task locally on managed systems using this program or the McAfee
tray icon.
The CMDAGENT.EXE file is located in the agent installation folder. By default, this location is:
C:\PROGRAM FILES\MCAFEE\COMMON FRAMEWORK

Agent installation command-line options
Depending on whether the agent is already installed, use command-line options when you run
the agent installation package (FRAMEPKG.EXE) or the agent framework installation
(FRMINST.EXE) program.
You can employ these command-line options when using the deployment task to upgrade to a
new version of the agent.
This table describes all of the agent installation command-line options. These options are not
