This is a typical GUI installation wizard. Double-click the .msi package and follow the steps to install ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint:

1.Click Next to continue or click Cancel if you want to quit the installation.

2.The installation wizard runs in a language that is specified as Home location of a Region > Location setting of your operating system (or Current location of a Region and Language > Location setting in older systems).

Selected language for ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint is independent of the language you see in the installation wizard.

4.Choose one of available installation types (availability depend on your operating system):

Complete

Installs all ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint features.

note

Installer contains only essential modules; all other modules are downloaded during the initial module update after the product activation.

Core

This installation type is intended for Windows Server Core editions. Installation steps are the same as a complete installation, but only core features and the command line user interface are installed.

Although core installation is mainly for use on Windows Server Core, you can still install it on regular Windows Servers if you prefer. ESET security products installed using core installation do not have a main program window. This means that you can only use the command line user interface when working with ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint. See the Command line installation section for more detailed information and other special parameters.

example

To execute Core installation via command line, use the following sample command:

msiexec /qn /i efsw_nt64.msi ADDLOCAL=_Base

Custom

Custom installation lets you choose which features of ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint will be installed on your system. A list of product modules and features displays before the installation starts. It is useful when you want to customize ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint with only the necessary components.

5.You will be prompted to select the location where ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint will be installed. By default, the program installs in C:\Program Files\ESET\ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint. Click Browse to change this location (not recommended).

6.Click Install to begin the installation. After the installation, you are prompted to activate ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint.

7.If your ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint does not have the firewall component (limited by the license or custom installation), ensure you configure the Trusted zone to be used by the RDP access restriction feature:

note

If you performed an attended fresh installation locally on the server, the Limit incoming RDP connections to is set to Trusted zone by default. If you performed an installation remotely over RDP, the Limit incoming RDP connections to is set to All networks by default. This setting is meant to be temporary and to prevent your RDP connection from being cut off until you configure the Trusted zone.

In both cases, we recommend configuring the Trusted zone to include networks, IP addresses, or IP address ranges from which you specifically allow RDP connections to the server. Go to Network access protection > IP sets and edit Trusted zone IP set. After configuring the Trusted zone IP set to your needs, change the Limit incoming RDP connections to use the Trusted zone from the previous All networks setting to secure your server and take advantage of the RDP access restriction feature while having the RDP fully functioning within your company networks.

If you are using the firewall component, Limit incoming RDP connections to setting is not present. Configure the firewall to secure RDP according to your requirements.
