What ensures that the ThreatLocker Agent receives the correct version during installation?

The stub installer is a crucial component in ensuring that the ThreatLocker Agent receives the correct version during installation. This lightweight installer serves as a minimal setup file that connects to the ThreatLocker servers to download the complete and most up-to-date version of the software. By utilizing the stub installer, the installation process can adapt to ensure that the latest version is always obtained, rather than relying on potentially outdated or incorrect local files.

This method is particularly advantageous because it reduces the amount of initial data that needs to be downloaded, streamlining the installation process while ensuring that the agent is correctly versioned and configured. The stub installer is designed to communicate with a central repository, verifying the latest version according to the current system requirements, thereby ensuring users have the most secure and functional software from the start.

While other methods like regular update settings, version check processes, and automatic updates contribute to the ongoing maintenance and correctness of the software after installation, the stub installer specifically addresses the initial installation phase with direct access to the latest version.
