Wireshark MSI Installers Released

If you have Wireshark users in your environment you could probably benefit from having the MSI installers for the 32-bit and 64-bit versions. You can now download these through our MSI Downloader Tool.

MSI installers can be used easily for distribution using systems like Configuration Manager, WDS or Group Policy.

You can download the MSI installer for Wireshark using our new MSI Downloader tool. Just download the tool, select Utilities from the left side menu and click on the Wireshark option. You can then save the zip file to where you want on your computer, extract the zip file and both the 32-bit and 64-bit MSI installers will be available to you.

Alternatively, you can get the MSI installer as a direct download or from our SourceForge project page.

Instructions

For full instructions on how to use MSI installations, you should take a look at our MSI installer guide here.

If you are unfamiliar with MSI silent installations, you can use the parameters as per below to push out a variety of different installations – great for Group Policy or Configuration Manager push outs.

If you want to run the MSI installers as completely silent, then you can use the following command:

msiexec.exe /i "MSIinstaller.msi" /q /norestart

If you want to run the MSI installers as automated but displayed to the end user, then you can use the following command:

msiexec.exe /i "MSIinstaller.msi" /passive /norestart

where:

• msiexec.exe – this starts the MSI installer engine
• /i – this tells the msiexec.exe to run an install
• “MSIinstaller.msi” – filename of the MSI installer
• /q – tells the msiexec.exe to run as silent
• /passive – tells the msiexec.exe to run as automated but display to end user
• /norestart – tells the msiexec.exe to not allow an automatic restart after installation completion
