CB Response: Is It Possible To Create A Custom .msi Sensor Installer File That Contains The .exe And .ini Files?

CB Response: Is It Possible To Create A Custom .msi Sensor Installer File That Contains The .exe And .ini Files?

Environment

  • CB Response Server: 6.x and Higher
  • CB Response Sensor: All Supported Versions
  • Microsoft Windows: All Supported Versions

Question

Is it possible to create a custom .msi installer that contains the .exe and .ini files?

Answer

  • No, CB Response does not provide a single .MSI file with the configuration file (.ini) and sensor group certificate already bundled inside.
  • A single ZIP file is provided that contains the MSI, EXE, and ini file.

Additional Notes

  • Some 3rd party tools may be available to merge the INI and MSI files. 
  • The MSI files provided by CB Response are not dynamically generated, which is why they require the external INI file to specify sensor group and other settings.  
  • A feature request for this functionality is being tracked in Idea Central.
