Issue/Introduction
Is it possible to create a custom .msi installer that contains the .exe and .ini files?
Environment
CB Response Server: 6.x and Higher
CB Response Sensor: All Supported Versions
Microsoft Windows: All Supported Versions
Resolution
No, CB Response does not provide a single .MSI file with the configuration file (.ini) and sensor group certificate already bundled inside.
A single ZIP file is provided that contains the MSI, EXE, and ini file.
Additional Information
Some 3rd party tools may be available to merge the INI and MSI files.
The MSI files provided by CB Response are not dynamically generated, which is why they require the external INI file to specify sensor group and other settings.
