Win32 Agent Installation Package

[Hichhiker]

For those who care, being tired if installing each windows server by hand I created an NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System) package for deploying Agents on windows boxes.

The script does:

* Install of files under user selected directory
* Install of sample config file
* Install of Agent service (optional)
* Start of Agent service (optional)
* Creation of uninstall executable/option under Add/Remove Programs
* Creation of Start Menu items to edit config and start/stop/install/remove service


Best part of this is that you can roll your own packages with custom config files :-)

How to use:

* Download and install NSIS from Nullsoft at http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...ckage_id=15374

* Download attachment and extract.
* Right click on the zabbix.nsi file and select "Compile NSIS Script"

You should have a small (~92k) executable that is your installer. Edit script for more flexibility and/or replace executable and config file under "zabbix" directory. I included 1.1.2 agent.

Enjoy. let me know what you think.

Cool, yet another one NSIS package for ZABBIX W32 (and W64) agent for Windows (see [this previous post ).

NSIS is definitively a great piece of code, thank's to Nullsoft guys!

Oops. I guess I should have checked first :-)

I just discovered NSIS a few days ago and was eager to try it out... but I bet the other package is probably better for this exact same reason.

oh, well..
