Bulk install Bot Agent on devices
Installing Bot Agent across multiple devices such as on-premises machines, virtual machines (VM), and non-persistent virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) including Amazon WorkSpaces is called Bulk install (or silent install). You must edit the Bot Agent MSI file for bulk installation.
Prerequisites
To perform the task, you must have a Control Room administrator account with the required rights and permissions.
- Ensure that you have downloaded the MSI file from the Control Room and the parameters required to install devices are available in the Bot Agent MSI file.Note: If you are trying to download the MSI file for the first time, you must click to generate a registration key and view the Download installer for the MSI file. .
- Ensure that the Windows 10 Software Development Kit including Orca is installed
on the device.
You can install Orca from C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.18362.0\x86\Orca-x86_en-us.msi.
Procedure
To deploy the Bot Agent on temporary or non-persistent devices, you must configure the SysPrep settings and create machine images on the VM instance.
- Uninstall the Bot Agent from the Windows Control Panel of the VM instance.
- Delete all files from C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\AutomationAnywhere.
- Enter
True
for the AA_INSTALL_ONLY parameter in the AutomationAnywhereBotAgent.msi file that you previously used to install the Bot Agent. - Run the AutomationAnywhereBotAgent.msi file again.
