Hi,

I am preparing a custom package for the server team to install (silently) new agents on multiple servers. I would like those servers to be assigned to a specific Client Computer Group after installation. Back in the day when creating a custom package there was an option to select custom Client Computer Group for the installer, but that’s not the case anymore. Since I cannot assign Client Computer Group during custom package creation, the only way that I know to do so is to extract created package and edit install.xml adding:

<clientInfo>
    <clientGroups clientGroupName="CustomGroup"/>

...
</clientInfo>

into it.

This works great but now I don’t have self-extracting executable.

Is there a way to re-create it with modified install.xml?

Or is it possible to pass Client Computer Group as parameter during install, like with laptop package?
