Administrative package for R60 HFA2?

[jmcgrady]

Ive downloaded the R60 HFA2 version of secureclient. However, being a .msi installer package, how do i use it with Securecleint Packaging Tool. I cant see how to unpack the file without installing it.

There is a Knowledge Base article covering this, available on CheckPoint's web site, see sk33104:

Solution

To create a customized profile for remote users, use the .msi file provided by Check Point. Once the file is saved, configurable files can be extracted from the file, customized, and then placed back into the file.
Check Point does not provide .TGZ files for SecureClient NGX R60 HFA_02, only MSI packages.

The configurable files are:

* product.ini
* userc.c
* userc.set
* reg.ini
* SecuRemoteAuthenticate.wav
* SecuRemoteConnected.wav
* SecuRemoteDisconnected.wav
* SecuRemoteFailed.wav
* logo.bmp
* logging.bat
* install_boot_policy.bat
* collect.bat
* scvins.bat
* scvuins.bat
* msfw.bat
* harden.bat

To change a file within a SecureClient MSI package, two procedures may be utilized:

1. Using cpmsi_tool


1. Open the windows command prompt.


2. Type the path for the cpmsi_tool.exe, followed by the path for the .msi file, and the command out all.

<CPDIR>\SmartConsole\<version>\PROGRAM\util\cpmsi_ tool.exe <path>\<filename>.msi out all
This command extracts all files from the MSI package.


3. Edit the desired file(s) and then run the following command:

<CPDIR>\SmartConsole\<version>\PROGRAM\util\cpmsi_ tool.exe <path>\<filename>.msi in all
2. SecureClient Packaging Tool


Note: The SecureClient Packaging tool supports MSI packages in versions NGX R60 and above.
1. Open the windows command prompt.


2. Type the path for the cpmsi_tool.exe, followed by the path for the .msi file, and the command out all.

<CPDIR>\SmartConsole\<version>\PROGRAM\util\cpmsi_ tool.exe <path>\<filename>.msi out all
This command extracts all files from the MSI package.


3. Connect to the SmartCenter, using the SecureClient Packaging Tool.


4. Select 'Profile' > 'New'.


5. Follow the wizard instructions, selecting your desired preferences.


6. Generate the package.


1. Select the new profile, and then select 'Profile' > 'Generate'.


2. Follow the wizard instructions.


* In 'Package source folder', enter the path to where you extracted the files using the cpmsi_tool.


* In 'Package destination folder and filename', enter the destination and name of the new MSI file.
