Once the REAL installer is downloaded and triggered, then COMMAND-click the installer title bar to get to the enclosing folder, which for my test shows up as: /private/var/folders/k8/9rryssq947vfrg6w67902h3c0000gp/T/fctupdate/įortiClient.dmg <- Install.mpkg is also in here Do they not know their own product? Perhaps not.Ī quick glance, the initial download gives you 'FortiClient_5.0.3.105_Installer.dmg' which only contains a 400K 'FortiClientUpdate.app' application that downloads the REAL installer. On a side note, its amazing they can't give you even some guidance on what gets configured. In some cases you might need to script it with something like defaults or PlistBuddy. Even monitoring file system changes for a few seconds can pull in dozens of files not related to what you're configuring, so just be careful to examine everything carefully afterwards.

I recommend doing it on as clean a system as you possibly can, maybe even one not joined to your domain for example, to prevent all kinds of extra stuff getting picked up. I sometimes use Composer snapshots or the 'Monitor File System Changes' method just to figure out what's being dropped on the system during a manual configuration and take things from there. Not necessarily that you'd want to just wrap up whatever Composer sees, but you can use it as a basis of what files and preferences, etc to examine. The post registration and config part is the only place I would use a snapshot method in Composer to at least figure out what files it may be adding as the client gets configured.
