Install Windows agents with the .msi package

You can use the Windows MSI installer or the msiexec command to install the agent .msi package if you need to specify agent configuration details during installation or if you need to install Windows agents locally without internet access.

Before you begin:

Download the appropriate agent .msi package.

To install agents on Windows nodes without internet access, save the .msi package to the appropriate agent package directory:

  • For 32-bit systems, save the package at /opt/puppetlabs/server/data/packages/public/<PE_VERSION>/windows-i386-<AGENT_VERSION>/
  • For 64-bit systems, save the package at /opt/puppetlabs/server/data/packages/public/<PE_VERSION>/windows-x86_64-<AGENT_VERSION>/
