Before installing Security Agents, consider the following:
Agent features: Some Security Agent features are not available on certain Windows platforms. For details, see Available Security Agent Features.
x64 platforms: A scaled down version of the Security Agent is available for the x64 platform. However, no support is currently available for the IA-64 platform.
IPv6 support: The Security Agent can be installed on dual-stack or pure IPv6 clients. However:
Some of the Windows operating systems to which the agent can be installed do not support IPv6 addressing.

For details, see Security Agent Installation and IPv6 Support.
Exception lists: Ensure that exception lists for the following features have been configured properly:

Agent installation directory: During the Security Server installation, Setup prompts you to specify the agent installation directory, which is $ProgramFiles\Trend Micro\Security Agent by default. If you want to install the Security Agents to a different directory, specify the new directory in section.
