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. 23)".
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. 25)".
Example of creating a transform
Consider the following command, which creates a transform for the installation package of the agent
for Windows:
mst_gen.vbs /msi_path C:\AcronisAgentWindows.msi /license_server licensesrv
/product AS /account mydomain\agentuser MyPassWd /ams_address managementsrv
/ams_user adminname AdminPassWd
After unattended installation with that transform:

The agent will use a license for the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Advanced Server edition, by
taking it from the license server installed on the licensesrv machine.

The agent's service will run under the agentuser domain user account (of the mydomain domain)
whose password is MyPassWd.

The agent will be registered on Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Server installed on
the managementsrv machine; adminname and AdminPassWd are respectively the user name
and password of a management server administrator.
