Can we covert the bigfix client (setup.exe) with the clientsettings.cfg file into a single .msi file

You will need to use a packaging tool to do this… Most off-the-shelf packaging tools should let you do this kind of thing… but we don’t have a specific method to do it…

We’re testing using the following method:

  1. Compile our setup.exe with clientsettings.cfg into a stand-alone .exe using the BigFix Custom Installer Compiler:

  1. Use Convert EXE to MSI program:

The MSI seems to work and incorporates the clientsettings file. We’re testing this as a GPO install via AD soon.
