+11How are you deploying McAfee Agent in 10.15.4? Does it fail trying to expand to the read-only drive?
10.14 and lower, we would push out the install.sh and run it from a script with out issue. Started failing with 10.15.

mktemp: mkdtemp failed on mfeheyfEq: Read-only file system
mkdir: : No such file or directory
+5@mike.desmarais thanks for the files, will retry now, and yes i am using the new McAfeeSmartInstall.sh but i thought both could be used? But i'll grab the install.sh too, thanks, will report back
+6@MichaelMcG My experiences with that package - it contains an app that runs an installer, and I couldn't get it to run silently and with zero interaction. It was a rabbit hole with Apple Script so that I could manipulate events and such. But the install.sh does the same thing, it's cleaner and from my searching - the preferred method of installing the McAfee Agent on macOS.
+25@mike.desmarais Here is the postinstall script for my repackaging of the McAfee Agent install.sh and ENS component installers (extracted from your ePO) that will do a silent install: https://gist.github.com/sdagley/76e167fe32a60265dda8d761d2bc75b4. This version is for ENS 10.7.1, so you'd want to get the latest RipOff-McAfee script from the #mcafee channel on the MacAdmins Slack for use with 10.7.6.
+5@mike.desmarais Thanks got it to install now, my only issue is that when trying to open the apps results in an error 1 which if i remember was being that your version of McAfee isn't valid for that version of macOS
Thanks @sdagley I'll check out your script too

to get rid of the installer prompt using the McAfeeSmartInstall.sh, change line 46 in the script to "$temp_directory/$APP_FILE_NAME/Contents/MacOS/McAfeeSmartInstall" -c "/tmp/coninfo.xml" -s -g
This will make the script run without any admin prompts
