Hello,
Is there any way to install McAfee agent 5.5.1.342, Endpoint security or Virusscan on windows xp ?
Solved! Go to Solution.
The agent versions can be mixed in your environment, that doesn't matter. The extension managing them in epo is backward compatible. You would just check the 5.0.3 agent in master repository (I would recommend a separate branch) and push it out to your xp clients.

You can install VirusScan up to patch 6.

First refer to KB51111 - supported environments for VSE. XP is kernel 5.1, so you can install only up to p7 for VSE on it.
If your operating system is not listed
This managed product is supported based on the NT Kernel version used by the operating system, rather than the operating system (version) in question. For VSE, this support breaks down as follows:
KB51573 lists supported environments for the agent. That lists xp tablet can use up to 5.0.4, but in looking back at previous versions of that kb, normal xp systems (32 and 64 bit, only up to 5.0.3 ma version was supported. So those are what you can use if you can't upgrade the OS on those systems.

On thing about that is that if anything goes wrong, the OS is no longer supported, so any support would be minimal and best effort only.

I'm using McAfee agent 5.5.1 now. Can i have multiple versions of agents ? How ?
The agent versions can be mixed in your environment, that doesn't matter. The extension managing them in epo is backward compatible. You would just check the 5.0.3 agent in master repository (I would recommend a separate branch) and push it out to your xp clients.
