1. Download the MSI
Choose the installer that matches endpoint architecture:
64-bit: AdBlockerInstaller_x64.msi
32-bit: AdBlockerInstaller_x86.msi
2. Install silently
Run all commands with admin privileges.
Run the MSI on the target machine:
msiexec /quiet /i AdBlockerInstaller_x64.msi
Install and apply the license key during setup:
msiexec /quiet /i AdBlockerInstaller_x64.msi LICENSEKEY=XXXXXXXXXXXXX
Replace _x64 with _x86 for 32-bit machines.
3. Provision the license key
There are two supported methods:
Option A: During installation
Pass LICENSEKEY in the MSI command line, as shown above.
Option B: Group Policy or registry
On Active Directory-joined machines, set the license key in policy:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\AdAvoid\AdBlocker Ultimate
Create a String value:
Name:
lkValue: your license key (for example,
XXXXXXXXXXXXX)
If this policy value is set, the application uses it for license validation.
4. Network requirements
Allow access to *.adavoid.org for licensing, filter updates, and service communication.
5. Roll out the MSI
Group Policy (GPO)
Use Computer Configuration > Policies > Software Settings > Software installation to assign or publish the MSI package.
SCCM / MECM
Create an application and use:
msiexec /quiet /i AdBlockerInstaller_x64.msi LICENSEKEY=XXXXXXXXXXX
Microsoft Intune
Add the MSI as a Line-of-business app. If needed, pass MSI arguments:
LICENSEKEY=XXXXXXXXXXX
Other deployment tools (PDQ, scripts, RMM, etc.)
Use the same silent install pattern:
msiexec /quiet /i AdBlockerInstaller_x64.msi LICENSEKEY=XXXXXXXXXXXX
6. Update deployed installations
Redeploy/update using:
msiexec /quiet /i AdBlockerInstaller_x64.msi REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus
For MSI-managed deployments, use your deployment tool to roll out newer MSI versions.
7. Uninstall silently
msiexec /quiet /x AdBlockerInstaller_x64.msi
