I'm not having any luck. I've tried multiple ways of installing this but I must be doing something wrong.
I need to intsall the SEP setup.exe from a command line, eventually without a user logged in, but for now, I'm logged in running a batch file.
I keep having it run, and it seems to install something. I've watched the program files x86 Symantec folder fill up, and then at the end it's just got a folder or two and some script files. I finally caught a log with the /v msi command line (I'll type it below). Halfway through that log I see a string of failures. Then it must be uninstalling.
I've tried setup.exe, our normal client installer. I also made a new installer yesterday that's supposed to run silently. So far the behavior is the same.
I'm not sure after this half-install thing happens, if it's botching up the machine for future installs. I'm just testing a on a machine now. I can restore it to its previous non-SEP state so testing is clean. Unless I come up with something new, I'll probably do that. I'm afraid a half-install is screwing up further testing.
I've tried these (or more) on both regular and the silent setup.exe installers.
setup.exe /s
setup.exe /s /v
setup.exe /s /v"/qn /norestart /V*L c:\sep_log.txt" <-- This one finally gave me the log. I thought this one would work, that I'd finally figured out the /v switch.
Running it manually though I'm still getting this half-install sitatuion. I'm going to restore it back to the non-SEP state and just try installing the usual setup.exe client installer we've used (not silent) to see if SEP will install at all.
How do you install SEP silent and unattended though from command line?
I've got a batch file now that copies the setup.exe file down to the machine to run it, in case installing off a network is an issue.
I also noticed an entry yesterday for this test machine in the SEP manager on the server. So it's actually connecting to that during these install tests.
I'm just not sure why this won't install and won't install silently. I've invested a lot of time on it this week. It needs to happen.
This is the client installer, 12.1.6_MP3. SEPM is on that version. The test machine is Windows 10, Threshold 2, 64-bit.
