For Vista, Windows7, and Windows 2008 only: If you set compatibility mode on any Agent
executables to a prior version of Windows, the operating system may be reported incorrectly in VCM.
To Manually Uninstall the VCM Windows Agent
The VCM Windows Agent uninstall executable will be present only if the Agent was installed manually
using CMAgentInstall.exe or CMAgentInstall.msi. To uninstall the VCM Windows Agent manually,
execute the following command (this command assumes the default installation directory was selected):
%SystemRoot%\CMAgent\Uninstall\Packages\CMAgentInstall\UnCMAgentInstall.exe
Using the .msi
To manually install the VCM Windows base Agent (
CMAgent[Version].msi
) on a target machine using
the .msi file, follow these steps:
1. On your Collector, navigate to the agent files directory. The location of the .msi will be in the path
relative to where you installed the software on the Collector, and by default is
c:\Program Files\VMware\VCM\AgentFiles
.
2. Locate the
CMAgent[Version].msi
file. This file must be accessible by the target machine.
3. Navigate to the collector data directory at:
c:\Program Files
\VMware\VCM
\CollectorData
.
Locate the VCM Enterprise Certificate
.pem
file, and then copy this file to the target machine in a
secure manner.

If your Collector is operating in a full Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), and the client can validate
the Collector root certificate (Enterprise Certificate), the
.pem
file is not necessary.
4. On the target machine, double-click the .msi or run the .msi file using the command line syntax.
Command line options and parameters are described below.
msiexec /Option <Required Parameter> [Optional Parameter]
For example:
msiexec.exe /qn /i "[PathToFile]\CMAgent[Version].msi" [PORTNUMBER=<available
port>] [INSTALLDIR="<new path>"]
When executing the Windows installer file with default options, any existing Window Agent is removed.
The new VCM Windows Agent is then installed in the
%SystemRoot%\CMAgent
directory, and will use
DCOM to communicate. The
%SystemRoot%
variable defaults to
C:\WinNT
or
C:\Windows
.
For HTTP installs, where
PORTNUMBER
is set, you must also specify an Enterprise Certificate. To do so, use
this syntax:
CERTIFICATEFILE=”x:\[mypath]\[mycert].pem
”. If you specify
PORTNUMBER
, you must
also provide
CERTIFICATEFILE
with either
SKIP
or the path to a certificate file.
Command line options, showing required and optional parameters, include the following. These options
are all parameters to msiexec.
n
/qb

n
/qn
- Runs the command in quiet mode; no user interaction is required.
n
/i
