The Sentinel MSI package (**sentinel-agent.msi**) is built using the standard Windows Installer framework. It is clean, digitally signed, and supports silent command-line parameters.

Download sentinel-agent.msi

Obtain the latest signed MSI package from your Sentinel Console downloads section.

Run the MSI File as Administrator

Double click the MSI to launch the standard Windows setup dialog. Click "Next" and accept the default installation folder (C:\Program Files\Sentinel).

Configuration File Placement

The installer creates the config folder at "C:\Program Files\Sentinel\config\". Place your organization "sentinel-agent.toml" file here or pass properties via command line.

Verify Service Status

The installer registers "SentinelAgent" as a Windows Service and starts it automatically on boot.
