ThreatLocker Stub Installer

2 min. readlast update: 05.05.2025

ThreatLocker recommends using the Stub Installer over the MSI Installer whenever possible. It will be the most up-to-date version of ThreatLocker assigned to your account, and it also includes a Health Service that can repair potential problems and keep the ThreatLocker Service running. 

Locating the Stub Installer

To obtain your Stub Installer, navigate to the Devices page and click on Install Computer.

Once the computer group is chosen, different ways to install ThreatLocker will now be made visible. Select the stub installer that will work for the machine you are installing ThreatLocker on.

Note: Do not rename the Stub installer as this will cause your ThreatLocker installation to fail. 

There are different Stub Installers for the computer groups in your organization. By default, there are Workstations, Servers, Linux, and MAC groups. You can create as many computer groups as you'd like within your organization, and they will each have their own installers available. Be sure to select the correct computer group when installing ThreatLocker as this will be the computer group the machine is put into after it is installed.
