Script Needed | Install Webroot

I need a script to install Webroot. The download url is below and I need a section in the script to add msi installation parameters.

https://anywhere.webrootcloudav.com/zerol/wsasme.msi

Hello @rawtech
There is a script available that can achieve what you need: Check application installed if not, download and install it

Please feel free to reach out to us if you need further assistance or clarification. Thank you.

I managed to get the script to run successfully but the software never actually installs. I’m wondering if it’s due to local user permissions. Is it possible to run the script using specific credentials?

In the linked script in my previous post @rawtech , it is specified there to run the script as a ‘System user’. When you run the script, in the pop-up window that comes up, it will have two radio buttons for the two options ‘run as LocalSystem user’ and ’ run as Logged In User’. Make sure you select the correct user (system user).

@Rick_C I’ve tried that and it does not successfully install the software. Is there a way to use domain admin creds?

@rawtech
Honestly, the ‘Local System’ user has higher ‘access privileges’ over any administrator (local or domain).

In the script, there are variables that you can customize and one of them is the ‘DownloadPath’. You need to make sure that the ‘DownloadPath’ is NOT affected by containment (assuming CCS is installed on the target endpoint and Containment is enabled) as this will produce no noticeable result. Or one way to interpret it is to make sure the ‘DownloadPath’ is excluded from Containment.

Hi @rawtech

Could you please ensure us the software downloaded on your machine. If the downloaded file seems absence in the targeted path, URL may have wrong. If not, the silent parameters may vary for the software.

Thank you

This is my error log. Looks like the machine is refusing the connection. I’m running the install as the local system user.

Hi @rawtech

We’ll analyze with your request and update you once it has been completed.

Thank you.

@Prabakaran I’m trying the script on my own machine and it appears that the MSI isn’t downloading. I know the URL works because it pulls the MSI file just fine from a web browser. I’ve tried various download paths.

Hi @rawtech

The script never worked but I was able to get the Webroot Install to work using the Custom MSI Package Installer Tool.
Below are the settings that I used, replace the GULIC with your own webroot license key. Also, you have to use the reboot option “warn about the reboot and let the user postpone it” or it won’t install correctly.

To deploy Webroot via C1, access the Custom MSI Package Installation tool and use the following settings:

  • MSI URL: https://anywhere.webrootcloudav.com/zerol/wsasme.msi
  • Command Line Options: GUILIC=1234-1234-1234-1234-1234 CMDLINE=SME
  • Reboot Options: Warn about the reboot and let the user postpone it.

Hi @rawtech

@Prabakaran
This script doesn’t work. Can you make the script run the following in the exactly order the switches are in? The /qn switch absolutely has to be at the end of the syntax.

msiexec.exe /i wsasme.msi GUILIC=1234-1234-1234-1234-1234 CMDLINE=SME /qn
