Automated MSI deployments
The runZero Explorer downloads are dynamically generated binaries, which don’t always play well with MSI-based installation methods.
To work around this, we provide a shim MSI package for use with automated installers. The package has a valid Authenticode signature, and you can also verify it with the runZero Verifier.
Some parts of the application still use the name "Rumble" for backwards compatibility. New installations use runZero for directory, file, and user names.
Windows hosts with Intel Advanced Matrix Extensions (AMX) enabled may see Explorer instability or crashes, on physical hardware and virtual machines alike. Disable AMX at the BIOS or host level before deployment. For Windows guests on Hyper-V, enabling Processor Compatibility can mitigate this issue.
EDR, antivirus, and other endpoint protection software on Windows may interfere with Explorer installation or scan behavior. If problems occur, add allowlist exceptions for runZero and npcap/winpcap components, or use monitor-only policy modes while you validate deployments. In some environments, you may need to disable endpoint protections for stable operation.
Deploy the package with the URL parameter set to the organization-specific download URL from the Explorers section of the runZero Console.
msiexec /i runzero-explorer-installer-amd64.msi URL=https://console.runzero.com
/download/explorer/DT[uniqueToken]/[versionID]/runzero-explorer-windows-amd64.exe
Enter this command as one long line with a single URL parameter; it's wrapped here for display.
The MSI shim verifies that the URL points to a valid runZero Explorer binary, then installs it normally.
Warning: Installing with the /a parameter does not work; use /i instead.
