When I installed the management station, I simply selected it to be
installed, as I recall. This was FP3 to start with.

You go over to the Check Point public free downloads and get the
administrator version of the operating system you want. This is just the
install program but with the individual files available. Save it into a
folder on the management station. You have to have all GUI clients closed to
run the tool.

You select the "administrator" version folder as the source and pick your
options. The tool creates a single executable in a new destination folder
that you also select.

It's pretty nice as it lets you embed some limited topology information in
the installation executable, which makes the initial setup much easier since
it already knows the firewall IP and policy server IP. I have mine set to
default to Connect mode, know the firewall and policy server IPs, do not
allow the end user to unload the desktop policy or to stop SecureClient and
basically a three click install. Run it, OK the license and OK the reboot.
No muss, no fuss. I also have IKE over TCP and UDP Encapsulation preselected
and locked down.

We have the installation path hard-coded as well because we use iPass and it
needs to know the path to ConnSHApp.exe.
