You can install FortiClient CLI. When an EMS administrator creates a FortiClient installer as Adding a FortiClient deployment package describes, EMS creates .exe and .msi installers. You can use either to install FortiClient:
.exe |
Includes custom modifications as configured when creating the deployment package. You can double-click the file to run the installer, or install FortiClient in the CLI. |
.msi |
You must use the .msi installer in combination with the .mst file., as the .msi file does not include any custom modifications configured when creating the deployment package. If using the .msi file, you must install FortiClient CLI so that you can provide the accompanying .mst file. Otherwise, the custom modifications are unavailable to FortiClient after installation. |
The following table summarizes the installation options available when CLI. All of the following options are available if you use the .exe file. If you use the .msi file with the .mst file, not all of the following options are available, as you are constrained by the CLI options that Windows Installer permits. See Command-Line Options.
