@itsTyrion Can you provide the download links to the new version’s installer?

Looks like they moved to an interactive only installer; I can't seem to figure out the TOS acceptance switch

Not quite, they moved to "online installer downloads offline installer and executes that".

%LocalAppData%\Temp\FortiClientVPN.exe is the full path of what's downloaded. If you let it download the full installer, cancel, run THAT with .\FortiClientVPN.exe /quiet /norestart, you can do a non-interactive install.

Damn that's annoying.

Edit: Found this S3 bucket but that only has 7.0.1 and isn't a convenient way. Unless that downloaded offline installer is usable, it's time to ask customer support -_-

It is impossible to get the URL of the offline installer from the online installer because it fetches the files from encrypted API. 😕

Whhhyyyy

So they make a full installer.

Which requires an account to download from the depths of the support page

Which is downloaded using an encrypted API

Just to dump it on the drive (and have half of it sitting in an unsecured S3 bucket)

!?
