5. Do either of the following, depending on whether you are installing 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
Otherwise (in this example, when installing the management console):
msiexec /i c:\AcronisManagementConsole.msi /qb

If you are updating the component, run Windows Installer as follows:
When updating a component that requires a transform (in this example, Agent for Windows):
msiexec /i C:\AcronisAgentWindows.msi TRANSFORMS=C:\AcronisAgentWindows.mst
ADDLOCAL=ALL /qb
Otherwise (in this example, when updating the management console):
msiexec /i C:\AcronisManagementConsole.msi ADDLOCAL=ALL /qb /l*v C:\log.log
Examples of creating a transform
Transform for Agent Core. The following command creates a transform for the installation package
of the Agent Core component:
mst_gen.vbs /msi_path C:\AcronisAgentCore.msi /account mydomain\agentuser MyPassWd
/ams_address managementsrv /ams_user adminname AdminPassWd
After unattended installation with this transform:

The agents’ service will run under the agentuser domain user account (of the mydomain
domain) whose password is MyPassWd.

The agents will be registered on Acronis Backup Management Server installed on the
managementsrv machine; adminname and AdminPassWd are respectively the user name and
password of a management server administrator.
Transform for Agent for Windows. The following command creates a transform for the installation
package of Agent for Windows:
mst_gen.vbs /msi_path C:\AcronisAgentWindows.msi /license_server licensesrv
/product AS
After unattended installation with this transform:

The agent will use a license for Acronis Backup Advanced for Windows Server, by taking it from
the license server installed on the licensesrv machine.
Similarly, you can create transforms for the agent features.
