Distributing Agents to Manage Systems
Installing the McAfee Agent
• Encryption key changes
The default agent installation package contains no embedded user credentials. When executed
on the targeted system, the installation uses the account of the currently logged-on user.

Agent installation command-line options

Depending on whether the agent is already installed, you can use command-line options when
you run the agent installation package (FramePkg.exe) or the agent framework installation
(FrmInst.exe) program.
You can employ these command-line options when using the deployment task to upgrade to a
new version of the agent.
This table describes all of the agent installation command-line options. These options are not
case-sensitive, but their values are.

Description
Specifies the folder on the system to store agent data files. The default location is:
<Documents and Settings>\All Users\Application Data\McAfee\Common
Framework
. If the operating system does not have a
folder, the default location is the Data folder within the agent installation folder.
FRAMEPKG /INSTALL=AGENT /DATADIR=<AGENT DATA PATH>
Sample:
Specifies a domain, and account credentials used to install the agent. The account
must have rights to create and start services on the desired system. If left
unspecified, the credentials of the currently logged-on account are used. If you
want to use an account that is local to the desired system, use the system's name
as the domain.
FRAMEPKG /INSTALL=AGENT /DOMAIN=Domain1
Sample:
/USERNAME=jdoe /PASSWORD=password
Specifies that the existing agent is uninstalled, then the new agent is installed. Use
this option only to change the installation directory or to downgrade the agent.
When using this option, McAfee recommends specifying a different directory for
the new installation (/INSTDIR).
FRAMEPKG /INSTALL=AGENT /FORCEINSTALL
Sample:
/INSTDIR=c:\newagentdirectory
Installs and enables the agent.
FRAMEPKG /INSTALL=AGENT
Sample:
Enables the AutoUpdate 7.0 component if it has already been installed, and does
not change whether the agent is enabled. This command-line option upgrades the
agent.
FRAMEPKG /INSTALL=UPDATER
Sample:
Specifies the installation folder on the desired system. You can use Windows system
variables, such as <SYSTEM_DRIVE>. If not specified, the default location is:
<DRIVE>:\program files\mcafee\common framework
FRAMEPKG /INSTALL=AGENT /INSTDIR=C:\ePOAgent
Sample:
Removes the agent if not in use. If in use, the agent changes to updater mode.
