Sophosinstall exe replaced with sophossetup exe in Sophos Central console

Hi all,

Clicking the Download Complete Windows Installer link under Protect Devices in our Sophos Central console now downloads a file called SophoSetup.exe. This is both for server and endpoints.  Does anyone know when this changed and when any documentation will be available about this as a search of the Sophos site so far produces no results and the document about automated installs still references sophosinstall.exe.  I assume that sophossetup.exe can still use the -q silent switch in batch files but will test this.

Thanks

Justin

  • I noticed the change too and my old package in SCCM has expired. Tried to set this up but the instructions on support for sccm deployment but it points to the old settings/installer. Thanks to the other person who replied here with the correct support page.

  • So this is why nothing is working anymore. I've got about 60-70 servers and networks which have a management component that downloads the file for each one, naming it sophosinstall.exe (because that's what it called it) and now it doesn't run at all.

     

    Spent a while trying to fix this. Cheers for the post identifying where the problem is! Now for hours fixing the batch install script on each system.
