Help CenterOverview
ThreatLocker is cloud-based but requires a local agent to be installed on your endpoints. The ThreatLocker agent runs at the kernel level, allowing it to stop threats such as WannaCry, malware, or malicious software pushed out through your RMM.
For minimum system requirements, please see ThreatLocker Supported OS Builds | ThreatLocker Help Center (kb.help)
The 'Install Computer' Button
After you have verified that your organization and computer group settings are configured as desired, select the 'Install Computer' Button to begin the deployment process.
The 'Download Installer' popup will appear.
From here, select "Manual Deployment" from the Deployment Method dropdown.
Under 'MSI, Single Click EXE, and PKG Deployment' select your Windows XP group. By default, this group is named "Windows XP."
You may need to create a new Windows XP group if one does not already exist within your organization.
The MSI installers for the Windows XP agent will populate at the bottom of the 'Download Installer' popup.
Installing ThreatLocker on a Windows XP Machine
Note: Since Windows XP does not support TLS 1.2+, traffic from the ThreatLocker agent must be routed through a proxy or relay service that support TLS 1.2 or greater. If you have any questions on how to accomplish this, please reach out to our Cyber Heroes.
Once the downloaded MSI installer is on the Windows XP machine, it can be installed. The installer is downloaded from the portal with the InstallKey in its name and should not be renamed. This key is specific to the selected computer group the MSI was downloaded for.
The MSI installer supports the ProxySettingURL argument for defining a proxy or relay URL. To install ThreatLocker while defining a ProxySettingURL, enter:
ThreatLockerX86_[InstallKey].msi ProxySettingURL=http://proxy.threatlocker.com:8443
During installation, you may encounter an error similar to the following:
This error is expected due to Microsoft ending support for Windows XP in 2014. Click 'Continue Anyway' to finish installing ThreatLocker.
Please contact our Cyber Heroes if you have any questions or need help installing ThreatLocker on a Windows XP machine.
