2 In the folder where you expanded the installer .zip package, execute the following
command line:
FCRepackager -m FortiClient.msi <options from step 1>
A new subdirectory is created, named transformed. It contains the new FortiClient.msi
file.
You can further modify your customized installer with one of the language .mst files
provided in the installer .zip file. This must be done as a separate step from the
customizations described previously. The language files are:
• 1033.mst = US English (default)
• 1036.mst = French
• 1041.mst = Japanese
• 2052.mst = Simplified Chinese
• 1028.mst = Traditional Chinese
For example, to change your customized installer language to French, execute the
following command in the folder where you expanded the installer .zip package:
FCRepackager -t 1036.mst -m transformed\FortiClient.msi
If you use enterprise licensing for your FortiClient computer, your FortiClient installer
needs specific additional customization. For more information, see
on page 24.
You can distribute your new FortiClient.msi file to users. Users simply double-click the file
to begin installation. On a Windows Advanced Server network, you can install the
application on end users' computers remotely. See
page 17.
VPN certificates can be added to the customized installer.Use the FortiClientVPNEditor
file located in the FortiClientVPNTools .zip file. It can be used to embed VPN tunnels into
the FortiClient MSI file. See
information.
When a newer version of FortiClient Endpoint Security is released, your existing users can
simply run the FortiClient installer and upgrade while keeping the customized settings. For
new users, you will need to create a customized version of the new installer.
To customize the newer FortiClient installer, you do not need to repeat all of the
customization steps described previously in this section. When you create your first
customized FortiClient installer, you can also save your customizations to a transform
(.mst) file. Simply run FCRepackager.exe again with no parameters. The output is a file
named FortiClient.mst.
To modify the new FortiClient .msi installer with your saved customizations, use the
following command:
FCRepackager -t FortiClient.mst -m FortiClient.msi
If the files are not in the current directory, you need to specify the path to them.
