Hi Folks,

How are folks deploying elastic-agent? I'd like to use intune to deploy elastic-agent however there is currently no .msi file, therefore:

- can we have a .msi file pretty please?
- How are folks doing this atm?

We currently do not have an MSI.

The correct way to install Elastic Agent is with the `install` command that is show in Kibana when adding an Agent. The will install the Elastic Agent into the `C:\Program Files\Elastic\Agent` and it will install it as a service on your Windows machine.

I would avoid rolling it out currently except in dev. The log's are not what you expect as the schema version has changed several times in the past 6 months and will only cause headaches.

A dirty way to do it is a powershell script to copy a zip file down to the machine then decompress and install. Not the method that you want but it works.

It's beta and painfully so.
