VSSETUP parameters
You can use several command line parameters when running the silent installation utility, vssetup.exe.
For a silent installation, use this command line and any of the following parameters (which are not
case‑sensitive):
VSSETUP.EXE /CK=<your company key> /<parameters>
Parameter Description
/CK=XYZ
Required. Launches Setup using the company key.
Your company key is listed on the SecurityCenter, on the Accounts & Keys
tab of the My Account page.
/Email=[e-mail]
Identifies the user’s email address in administrative reports.
Despite its name, the email variable does not need to be an email
address. This may also be a simple text identifier, e.g., location or
computer name. However, do not use a string containing non‑standard
characters, because they might be displayed incorrectly in reports.
/Uninstall
Uninstalls McAfee SaaS Endpoint Protection.
/SetRelayServerEnable=1
Sets a computer with a connection to the Internet as a relay server. If
the computer is not used as a relay server, set to 0.
/Reinstall
Re‑installs McAfee SaaS Endpoint Protection, leaving the previous
values for company key, email address, and machine ID intact.
/Groupid=[group number]
Places the computer into any group you have created. You can find the
number associated with a group by checking the Computer Profiles report
or by generating a customized URL. The group ID is at the end of the
URL in the format G=xx.
If you designate a group that does not exist, users are placed in the
Default Group or the group you have designated as your default group.
/Policyid=[policynumber]
Assigns a policy to the computer.
If you designate a policy that does not exist, the McAfee Default policy or
the policy you have designated as your default is assigned.
/P=b /P=f /P=v Selects the protection services to install:
• b — browser protection
• f — firewall protection
• v — virus and spyware protection
If you omit the /P parameter, only the virus and spyware protection
service is installed.
/ScanComputer
Performs a full scan on the computer as soon as installation is
completed and detection definition (DAT) files are downloaded
successfully.
