I am using the VMware-converter-en-6.2.0-8466193 installer. I am using a script to install it silently. I would like to learn how to tell the installer to install just the agent. Does anyone know how to do that?
This takes a few steps. I am assuming you have the file VMware-Converter-Agent.exe found in C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware vCenter Converter Standalone
You then need to extract the MSI from the .exe. In a command prompt browse to a folder with the .exe in, say C:\Temp. Then run:
VMware-Converter-Agent.exe /s /x /b:"C:\Temp" /v"/qn"
This will extract the file VMware vCenter Converter Standalone Agent.msi to C:\Temp
You can then install the agent silently by using the command:
"VMware vCenter Converter Standalone Agent.msi" /qn

Thanks for the quick response. I will get right on it and let you know how it goes.
Is this documented anywhere? I searched all over the place.
That worked! Thanks. Just the agent is now listed in the control panel.
No it's not documented. Just figured it out for you!
Try install with the following line:
VMware-Converter-Agent.exe /s /v"/qn /l*v %TEMP%\vmconvagentmsi.log REBOOT=ReallySuppress AGENT_PORT=9089 VMSYSTEMP=%TEMP%"
