You can use these options with the VSSETUP utility to install the client software silently on systems managed with the SecurityCenter.
On the local system, open a Command Prompt window, then use this command line and any of the following parameters (which are not case-sensitive):
• For 32-bit Windows:
VSSETUP_X86.EXE /CK=<your company key> /<parameters>
• For 64-bit Windows:
VSSETUP_X64.EXE /CK=<your company key> /<parameters>
Parameter Description
/CK=XYZ Required. Launches VSSETUP using the company key.
Your company key is listed on the SecurityCenter, on the Keys tab of the My Licenses page.
/[email protected] Identifies the user’s email address in administrative reports.
Despite its name, the email variable does not need to be an email address. This can be a simple text identifier, such as a location or computer name. However, do not use a string containing non-standard characters, because they might be displayed incorrectly in reports.
/Uninstall Uninstalls the client software.
/SetRelayServerEnable=1 Sets a system with a connection to the Internet as a relay server. If the computer is not used as a relay server, set to 0.

Parameter Description
/Reinstall Reinstalls the client software, leaving the previous values for company key, email address, and machine ID intact.
/Groupid=[group number] Places the managed system into any group you have created. You can find the number associated with a group by checking the Computer Profiles report or by generating a custom URL. The group ID is at the end of the URL in the format G=xx.
If you designate a group that does not exist, systems are placed in the Default Group or the group that you have designated as your default group.
/Policyid=[policynumber] Assigns a policy to the managed system.
If you designate a policy that does not exist, the McAfee Default policy or the policy you have designated as your default is assigned.
/P=b /P=f /P=v Selects the product modules to install:
• b — Web Control
• f — Firewall
• v — Threat Prevention
If you omit the /P parameter, only the Threat Prevention module is installed.
/ScanComputer Performs a Full Scan on the managed system as soon as the installation is completed and product content files are downloaded successfully.
Examples
VSSETUP.EXE /P=vfb /CK=abcd /[email protected] /Groupid=3
Threat Prevention, Firewall, and Web Control are installed. The company key is abcd, the user’s email address is [email protected] for reporting purposes, and the computer is placed in an existing group represented by the number 3. Check the Computer Profiles report to find the correct numeric groupid.
VSSETUP.EXE /CK=abcd /[email protected]
Only Threat Prevention is installed. The company key is abcd and the user’s email address is [email protected] for reporting purposes. The computer is placed in the default group.
