Before installing the agent's features (such as Universal Restore), you need to install the agent itself.
To install, reinstall, or update a component in the unattended mode
1. Run the setup program.
2. Click Extract installation files.
3. Extract the component's installation package.
4. If you are installing Agent for Windows, create a transform (an .mst file) for the agent's
installation package by running the configuration script. Otherwise, skip this step.
For example, the following command creates a transform to install Agent for Windows with the
trial license key ABCDE-54321:
mst_gen.vbs /msi_path C:\AcronisAgentWindows.msi /serial ABCDE-54321
See also the example later in this section. The complete syntax of the configuration script is
described in "Configuration script parameters (p. 20)".
5. Do either of the following, depending on whether you are installing, reinstalling, or updating the
component:

If you are installing the component, run Windows Installer (the msiexec program) specifying
the names of both the installation package and (if needed) the transform as follows:
When installing Agent for Windows:
msiexec /i c:\AcronisAgentWindows.msi TRANSFORMS=AcronisAgentWindows.mst /qb
Otherwise (in this example, when installing the Universal Restore feature):
msiexec /i c:\AcronisUniversalRestore.msi /qb

If you are reinstalling or updating the component, run Windows Installer as follows:
When reinstalling or updating Agent for Windows:
msiexec /i C:\Share\AcronisAgentWindows.msi
TRANSFORMS=C:\Share\AcronisAgentWindows.mst ADDLOCAL=ALL /qb
Otherwise (in this example, when reinstalling or updating the Universal Restore feature):
msiexec /i C:\Share\AcronisUniversalRestore.msi ADDLOCAL=ALL /qb /l*v
C:\log.log
In an Active Directory domain, another way of performing unattended installation, reinstallation, or
update of a supported component is through Group Policy—see "Installing the agent using Group
Policy (p. 22)".
Example of creating a transform
Consider the following command, which creates a transform for the installation package of the agent
for Windows:
