Creating custom FortiClient installation files

The following section provides instructions on creating a custom installer file using the FortiClient Configurator Tool.

You have the option to select a FortiClient configuration file and/or Telemetry gateway IP list when you create a custom FortiClient installer. See Preparing configuration files.

Ensure that you select all modules in the FortiClient installer that you want installed on endpoints. To enable other features after FortiClient is installed, you must uninstall FortiClient from endpoints, and reinstall an MSI file with the desired features included in the FortiClient installer.

If you're using FortiClient EMS to deploy and manage FortiClient endpoints, you can create a FortiClient installer that includes most or all modules, and you can use a profile from FortiClient EMS to disable and enable modules without uninstalling and reinstalling FortiClient.
