You can use the Sidegrade.msi package to remove conflicting products before deploying F-Secure Computer Protection for Windows or F-Secure Server Protection for Windows.
You can deploy it the same way as described above for the Computer Protection and Server Protection installer but without using an .mst file.
-
- To prevent the product from being removed during the Sidegrade.msi deployment, generate and use the following .mst file:
FsMsiTool –inmsi <path/to/Sidegrade.msi> –name SIDEGRADE_SKIPLIST ^
–value “SG12” –outmst <path/to/sidegrade_exclusions.mst>Use the following parameters:
- inmsi: specify the full path to the installer file.
- name: specify “SIDEGRADE_SKIPLIST” for an exclusion list property name.
- value: specify “SG12”.
- outmst: specify the full path to an output MSI transformation file (.mst)
- If you need to prevent another product from being removed as a conflicting product, do the following:
-
- To detect and remove any conflicting products, run the Sidegrade.msi package locally from the command-line using the following command:
msiexec /i <path/to/Sidegrade.msi> /qb /l*v <path/to/logfile>
-
- In the log file, search for the text similar to “Found auto conflict id:SG12 name:F-Secure Client Security Premium“.
- Specify the product name that follows the “name:” label as an argument for the value parameter of the command from step 12. For example:
FsMsiTool –inmsi <path/to/Sidegrade.msi> –name SIDEGRADE_SKIPLIST ^
–value “F-Secure Client Security Premium” –outmst <path/to/sidegrade_exclusions.mst>Note: In general, you are not required to restart your device after running a standalone sidegrade. However, for some competitor products it might be necessary to complete the installation.
