Installation Methods

You can install CA ControlMinder for Windows from the CA ControlMinder Endpoint Components for Windows DVD using the following methods:

Product Explorer—The easiest way to install CA ControlMinder is to use the Product Explorer. The Product Explorer is a graphical installation program that lets you select between different architecture installations of CA ControlMinder and install the Runtime SDK. The Product Explorer steps you through each stage of the installation process and prompts you for the information that you must provide at each stage.
Command line—The command line interface to the installation program lets you:
- Set custom defaults for running the graphical installation program
  You can pass defaults to the graphical installation program from the command line. Use this method to create a batch file that opens the installation program with the preset defaults you want to use, but lets you customize options for each installation.
- Perform a silent installation
  You can silently install CA ControlMinder, rather than just pass defaults to the graphical installation program, using the command line. Use this method to push the installation to remote computers.
Unicenter Software Delivery—You can create a package for distributing CA ControlMinder with Unicenter Software Delivery.
