Unable to use the MSI file to install CIS

Hello.

I am trying to use the MSI installer extracted from the main EXE file to install CIS 12.1.0.6914 but I get an error:


[9652 CIS] 10:46:25>>	 Cannot open key 'SOFTWARE\COMODO\CIS\Installer': 2

Can anyone help me to understand what is wrong?
I am using a clean installation of Windows 1909.

Thank you.

Hi Rhor,

Thank you for Reporting.
This kind of installation can’t be supported.

Thank you for the reply.

It was possible before 12.1.

Since you say there is no possibility now, could you provide the switches necessary for a silent installation?
When it was “supported”, I was using the MSI installer plus the following switches and it worked perfectly well:

INSTALLANTIVIRUS=1 INSTALLFIREWALL=1 CLOUD_ANALYSE=0 SET_HIPS_STATE=0 SET_BBLOCKER_STATE=0 HIDE_SECURITY_ALERTS=0 SEND_STATISTICS=0 WEB_DB_PATH=“D:\Configuration\bases.cav” CONFIG_FROM_XCFG=1 CONFIG_FROM_FILE=“%CurrAPP\Configuration\Default.cfgx” /Passive /NoRestart

Thank you.

No installer switches will work as they removed the support to do install using just the .msi installer, you need to install using the normal installer.
