We are using IBM BigFix to patch windows and third party applications. There is not fixlet avaiable for veritas netbackup patches. Is there any way to create a custom fixlet to install the patches. Please provide full steps. I am bit new to bigfix. thanks

You would need to have first a customized package to upgrade the client and then deploy it trough BigFix.

You can use the windows software distribution wizard under wizards to create the package.

Here is a description on how to use the wizard. https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/blogs/a1a33778-88b7-452a-9133-c955812f8910/entry/how_to_use_the_bigfix_software_distribution_wizard?lang=en. You can use the command line options for exe in the package when you create it.

setup.exe /s /v"/qn" for example can go in the command line install parameters.

Hi @rahamathid: Have you install it silently via response file?
