Add additional arguments in the Additional Args. (optional) field to provide command line arguments to the installer. For more information, see Installing.

For example, you can use the following arguments separated by a space:

  • -no_restart
  • -validate

To bypass this check, set verify_checksum to 0 in the file %PATROL_HOME%\..\common\patrol.d\checksum_file. By default, verify_checksum is set to 1,
