I have a vanilla install of Altiris 7.5 running.  

I need to get the client-side components.  I see some of the files here: C:\Program Files\Altiris\Symantec Installation Manager\Installs\Altiris, but there are some that are missing/wrong.  

1) Per the help file, the Deployment Solution client side installer is supposed to be "Symantec_ASDK_DS_COM_x64.msi".  This file doesn't exist on the system.  From SIM, there doesn't appear to be a separate asdk option like there was in 7.1.  

2) When I install the symantec_asdk_ns_com_x64 file, it shows as being version 7.0.x, instead of 7.5.  Since 7.1 had version 7.1, I'm suspicious of if this is actually the right file, or if something else is going on.  

3) I'm finding very little out regarding the asdk.  One of the few articles I'm finding, is http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=HOWTO66190, which says that there is a cmd file for the installer (asdk.cmd), which doesn't seem to exist on the system either.  

What's the best way to get the 7.5 asdk? 

Having just installed 7.5, I can confirm that that file is missing, and that only three ASDK files are created:

symantec_asdkcomcombine_7_5_x64

symantec_asdkcomcombine_7_5_x86

symantec_asdkservercombine_7_5_x64

I believe that the asdkcomcombine MSI files will install the COM objects.

Hi SK,

Tried to install these Files but still getting the following error when runnig a Sample vbs File from the ASDK Folder on a remote Computer

If i run the same vbs File on the SMP Server it works!

I found the answer to this. The symantec_asdkcombine_7_5_(x64|x86).msi is the correct file to get the com asdk components installed.  If you try to just run it on a system, you get an error saying "This package must be installed or uninstalled using the Symantec Installation Manager."

To get around this, you can launch the installer with msiexec and add skipaim=true

The following is what I ran to get it installed:

msiexec /i symantec_asdkcomcombine_7_5_x64.msi skipaim=true
