Methods to upgrade the App Control agent
ATTENTION! When a new Agent Installer is uploaded to the Server, the global option to upgrade Agents (manually or automatically) via the Console is automatically turned off. Before turning this feature on verify which Policies are configured to start Automatic Upgrades or those which are not, and adjust accordingly. |
A Major version upgrade requires the install flag "msiexec /i" be used when the product GUID changes (e.g. from 8.9 to 8.10). Please check the Agent Product GUID to verify if it has changed. |
msiexec /i "C:\Path\To\ParityHostAgent.msi" /qn /L*v+ "C:\Temp\AgentUpgrade.log"
A Minor version upgrade requires the repair flag "msiexec /fvamus" be used when the product GUID does not change (e.g. from 8.9.4 to 8.9.6). Please check the Agent Product GUID to verify if it has not changed. |
msiexec /fvamus "C:\Path\To\ParityHostAgent.msi" /qn /L*v "C:\Temp\AgentUpgrade.log"
