The default agent installation package contains no embedded user credentials. When executed on the
targeted system, the installation uses the account of the currently logged‑on user.
You can create custom installation packages containing embedded credentials if required by your
environment.
Because an installer package created for this purpose has embedded credentials, access to it should be
severely restricted. Installer packages with embedded credentials should only be used in very specific
situations where another deployment method is not available. For additional, important information
about the use of embedded credentials, see McAfee KB65538
You can also create a customized McAfee Smart installer using ePolicy Orchestrator server. This McAfee
Smart installer can be distributed to client system users for agent installation.
Create custom agent installation packages
Custom installation packages can be used to install the agent on systems that are not managed by
ePolicy Orchestrator.
If you use a distribution method other than deployment capabilities (such as login scripts or
third‑party deployment software), you can create a custom agent installation package (FramePkg
.exe). For Windows systems, you can create the package with embedded administrator credentials.
This is necessary in a Windows environment if users do not have local administrator permissions. The
user account credentials you embed are used to install the agent.
Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 and later do not allow embedded administrator credentials until
the package file name has been added to the exception list of the Windows firewall.
