2. Start the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 setup program.
3. Click Extract installation files.
4. Select the Agent for Windows (AcronisAgentWindows.msi) check box.
5. If you are installing Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Deduplication, select the Deduplication
(AcronisDeduplication.msi) check box.

Restore (AcronisUniversalRestore.msi) check box.

7. In Extract to, type the name of the folder that you just created, or click Browse and select the
folder.
8. Click Extract.
9. Share the folder where you placed the installation packages. Make sure that domain users can
access the shared folder—for example, by leaving the default sharing settings for Everyone.
Step 2: Configuring the agent's installation package
Important: Skip this step when reinstalling or updating the agent.
You need to configure the agent's installation package by running the configuration script, which is
installed along with the management console. By default, the script is located in the folder
%ProgramFiles%\Acronis\BackupAndRecoveryConsole. If the management console is installed on a
different machine, you can simply copy the configuration script from that machine.
The configuration script creates a transform (also known as a modification, a modification file, or an
.mst file) for the installation package.
1. In the Start menu, click Run, and then type: cmd
2. Click OK.
3. Change the current folder to the one where the configuration script mst_gen.vbs is located, by
running commands such as:
C:
cd "C:\Program Files\Acronis\BackupAndRecoveryConsole"
4. Run the configuration script.
For example, the following command creates a transform for the file
D:\Acronis\Acronis\AgentWindows.msi and uses licenses for the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10
Advanced Server edition from the license server installed on mylicensesrv; the agent will run
under the user account mydomain\AgentUser:
mst_gen.vbs /msi_path D:\Acronis\AgentWindows.msi /license_server mylicensesrv
/product AS /account mydomain\AgentUser MyPassWd
Note: You must include a complete path to the installation package, even if the package is in the same
folder as the configuration script.
For the complete syntax of the configuration script, see Configuration script parameters (p. 20).
The agent's installation package is ready for deployment. You now need to create a Group Policy
object, as described in Setting up the Group Policy object (p. 24).
