After that completes logon to the KACE 1000 admin console and run an inventory on that client computer. If you do not already have this version of Symantec client (.401) in the KACE software inventory, choose the 32-bit or 64-bit install file and manually install it on a client computer, by simply clicking on the setup.exe file so that it installs on the computer.

(Okay… it is “simple” if you know how to set up managed installations J, so I have for your benefit detailed instructions below and they should be followed in the order given for best results.)Ģ. Once this file works the way you want when manually run, it is very simple to have KACE deploy it.
