Preparation
To create a transform for a component, you need the configuration script mst_gen.vbs.
This script is located in the folder where Acronis Backup Management Console is installed. The
default folder path is:

%ProgramFiles%\Acronis\BackupAndRecoveryConsole in 32-bit Windows

%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Acronis\BackupAndRecoveryConsole in 64-bit Windows
If the management console is installed on a different machine, you can copy the script from that
machine. See also “Examples of creating a transform” later in this section.
Order of installation for an agent
When you install an agent, first install the Agent Core component (if it is not yet installed), then the
agent itself, and then the agent features.
Installation procedure
To install or update a component in the unattended mode
1. Start the setup program.
2. Click Extract installation files (when using the standard setup program) or Save installation files
(when using the Web-based setup program).
3. Extract the component's installation package.
4. If you are installing a component that uses a transform, create the transform by running the
configuration script. Otherwise, skip this step.
For example, the following command creates a transform to install Agent for Windows with the
license key ABCDE-54321:
mst_gen.vbs /msi_path C:\AcronisAgentWindows.msi /serial ABCDE-54321
