Download the Agent

The kAudit Agent MSI is published as a GitHub Release on every agent version release.

Find the latest release

1. Go to the kAudit Releases page.
2. Look for the latest release tagged msi-v* (for example, msi-v1.2.0).
3. Under Assets, download:

File	Description
kaudit-msi-installer-<version>.msi	The Windows installer — download this
SHA256SUMS.txt	Checksums for integrity verification

Which version?

Always download the latest msi-v* release unless instructed otherwise by support. Pre-release builds may be listed with a -beta or -rc suffix — skip these unless you're testing a specific fix.

Save the MSI locally

Save the MSI to a local path on the target machine (the Windows server running SQL Server):

C:\Temp\kaudit\kaudit-msi-installer-<version>.msi

Avoid UNC/network paths

Do not run the installer directly from a network share. The SYSTEM account may not have access to UNC paths during installation. Always copy to a local path first.

Verify the download (optional)

If a SHA256SUMS.txt is provided with the release, verify the file integrity before installing:

# PowerShell
$expected = (Get-Content .\SHA256SUMS.txt | Where-Object { $_ -match 'kaudit-msi' }) -split ' ' | Select-Object -First 1
$actual = (Get-FileHash .\kaudit-msi-installer-<version>.msi -Algorithm SHA256).Hash

if ($actual -eq $expected.ToUpper()) {
    Write-Host "✅ Checksum verified" -ForegroundColor Green
} else {
    Write-Host "❌ Checksum mismatch — do not install" -ForegroundColor Red
}
