Deploying the 1E Client
Windows computers
When deploying 1E Client to Windows devices you can install using the MSI interactively but this only allows you to specify some configuration settings. You can configure these and some other settings using installer properties on the command-line or in one or more MST transform files.
The 1E Client Deployment Assistant 1.4 (CDA) is designed to help install Windows versions of 1E Client and other 1E agents using Configuration Manager. It includes template transform files for each combination of client/agent for 32 and 64-bit platforms, and automatically creates collections and deployments in Configuration Manager, so that you only need to populate the collections.

Non-Windows devices

The following applies to all configuration settings that are stored in the 1E Client configuration file:
- they can be reconfigured after installation either manually or as described in 1E Client command-line parameters.
- property names and values are not case-sensitive, but convention is to store them in mixed-case
- if you omit a mandatory property or its value, the 1E Client will not start
- if you omit an optional property or its value, the 1E Client will use the default value instead
1E Client configuration file location and name
The 1E Client is controlled via the 1E Client configuration file 1E.Client.conf which resides in the installation folder along with the 1E Client executable.
The default installation location used for the different OS supported by the 1E Client are given in the following table:
| OS | Default install location |
| Windows | %ProgramFiles%\1E\Client |
| Linux and Solaris | /etc/1E/Client |
| Mac | '/Library/Application Support/1E/Client' |
The configuration file uses ASCII encoding.
