Installing ADN Application Using the MSI Package
If the Windows administrator prefers to manage bulk installations and upgrades rather than allowing agents to self-service, an MSI package is available for use with typical administration and automation tools. Additionally, you can customize the MSI Transforms (MST) package to pre-populate the client code and other configuration information. The following is an example of using the MSI with an MST and a custom config.json file, to perform a preconfigured administrator install of ADN.

- This type of installation applies only to the Windows platform.
- Contact the LiveVox Customer Care Team for the MSI installer package and the MST overlay. For contact information, go to the LiveVox Customer Care Contacts section in this document.
