# Deploying via SCCM with ZIP Package (.msi)

The WXP Insights agent for HP Workforce Experience Platform (WXP) can be deployed using Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) with the ZIP Package (.msi) method. This approach is ideal for organizations managing installations across multiple devices, as it supports silent install parameters and enables streamlined updates and configuration through standardized MSI tools. Using MSI also enables you (IT administrators) to maintain consistency and control across deployments with minimal user interruption.

This article provides guidance for deploying the WXP Insights agent using Microsoft SCCM and the ZIP Package (.msi). The deployment process includes the following steps:

1. [Downloading the Workforce Experience Platform for Windows (ZIP Package (.msi))](/wxp/docs/automatic-enrollment-of-windows-devices-using-microsoft-sccm-msi-installer#downloading-workforce-experience-platform-for-windows-msi-installer)
2. [Creating an Application in SCCM](/wxp/docs/automatic-enrollment-of-windows-devices-using-microsoft-sccm-msi-installer#creating-an-application-in-sccm-creating-the-necessary-applications-in-sccm)
3. [Distributing the Application content](/wxp/docs/automatic-enrollment-of-windows-devices-using-microsoft-sccm-msi-installer#distributing-the-content-to-distribution-points-dps)
4. [Deploying WXP Insights Agent for Windows](/wxp/docs/deploy-via-microsoft-sccm-with-msi-installer#deploying-windows-agent-with-sccm)

> **Note**: The following instructions are intended for Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) v.1902 ut may also apply to newer versions of SCCM.

## Procedure

Follow the below steps to successfully deploy WXP Insights agent for Windows.

### **1. Downloading WXP Insights Agent for Windows (ZIP Package (.msi))**

To download the WXP Insights agent:

1. Download and install the WXP Insights agent from the [Download WXP Insights Software](https://workforceexperience.hp.com/software) page.
