 Description   

Hi All,

As far as I understand, Windows System administrator have no choise besides next:

1. Download zip archive zabbix-agent
2. Uncompress zabbix-agent archive to some folder
3. Manually install and run zabbix-agent service
4. At least in 90% cases it will need to create "scripts" folder
5. Create firewall rules manually
6. Log rotation. As far as I remember, zabbix-agent can't do rotation self

Conclusion: It will be great to make installer like MSI. It will save time os System Administrator. Also it will be helpful with AD case deployment. I saw 3-rd party project like:
https://github.com/cavaliercoder/zabbix-msi
But I think, that "last commit 4 years ago" means "dead project"

Thanks

Hello, if you need msi file, you can use this unofficial installer, it works great for me. It installs files, creates directories and also setup and run zabbix service.
