DDPE MSI Installer
Hello,
I'm trying to setup a as silent install script for Dell Encryption / DDPE. I found this helpful article that lists all CLI switches using the DDPE_XXbit_setup.exe or the "Dell Data Protection Encryption.msi"
I have the latest exe installer - DDPE_64bit_setup.exe which is fine but the documentation also list instructions to install the .msi using msiexec.
My question is where do I find the .msi installer? I have extracted the DDPE_64bit_setup.exe from the DDSSetup.exe but I can't locate the .msi. I understand the msi may be encapsulated inside the DDPE_64bit_setup.exe but how do I extract it so I can use only the .msi and don't need to mess around with passing variables into the .exe with the /v switch?
Thanks,
Ryan

Never mind, I figured it out.
running this command will extract the MSI to the specified folder:
DDPE_64bit_setup.exe /a /s /v"SERVERHOSTNAME=server.organization.com POLICYPROXYHOSTNAME=rgk.organization.com MANAGEDDOMAIN=ORGANIZATION DEVICESERVERURL=https://server.organization.com:8443/xapi/"

Hi @Ryan3030
Thank you for reaching out!
Typically, i would suggest extracting the MSI by leveraging the command:
This should result in a file around ~100MB
When leveraging the /a command, this does not include all of the custom actions within the installers, which may result in failures to upgrade. Extraction with the /a command typically results in a file size of ~30 MB.
Alternatively, we do build MSIs during our build process, these can be acquired by reaching out to Dell ProSupport for Software at 877.459.7304, Option 1, Ext. 4310039, or via the Chat Portal. To contact support outside the US, reference ProSupport’s International Contact Numbers.
I hope this helps!
