First, install the management console. Other components require a file known as a transform (an

.mst file). To create a transform for a component, you need the configuration script mst_gen.vbs.

This script is located in the folder where the management console is installed. By default, the folder

name is C:\Program Files\Acronis\BackupAndRecoveryConsole. See also “Examples of creating a

transform” later in this section.

The following components and features can be installed, reinstalled, or updated in the unattended

mode:

 Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Management Console:

AcronisStandaloneManagementConsole.msi

 Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Agent Core: AcronisAgentCore.msi (requires a transform)

 Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Agent for Windows AcronisAgentWindows.msi (requires a

transform)

 Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Universal Restore: AcronisUniversalRestore.msi (requires a

transform)

 Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Bootable Media Builder:

AcronisBootableComponentsMediaBuilder.msi (requires a transform)

Order of installation of the agent

When you install the agent, first install the Agent Core component, then the agent itself, and then

(optionally) the Universal Restore feature.

Installation procedure

To install, reinstall, or update a component in the unattended mode

1. Start the setup program.

2. Click Extract installation files.

3. Extract the component's installation package.

4. If you are installing a component that requires a transform, create the transform by running the

configuration script. Otherwise, skip this step.

For example:

 The following command creates a transform to install the Agent Core component:

mst_gen.vbs /msi_path C:\AcronisAgentCore.msi

 The following command creates a transform to install Agent for Windows with the license

key ABCDE-54321:

mst_gen.vbs /msi_path C:\AcronisAgentWindows.msi /serial ABCDE-54321

Similarly, you can create a transform to install the Universal Restore feature.

The complete syntax of the configuration script is described in "Configuration script parameters

(p. 10)".

5. Do either of the following, depending on whether you are installing, reinstalling, or updating the

component:

 If you are installing the component, run Windows Installer (the msiexec program) as

follows:

When installing a component that requires a transform (in this example, Agent for

Windows):

msiexec /i c:\AcronisAgentWindows.msi TRANSFORMS=AcronisAgentWindows.mst /qb
