Customers of ours find the full agent very large (~600MB). Half of it is the FDE component and non-Enligh files in ZESM which is rarely used among these customers.
The installer also contains a 1.7 and a 1.8 JRE.
The network installer can be the perfect solution in this case, but it is risky to install MSI's and setup.exe on the wire for many customers due to unreliable network environment.
There are at least 2 solutions for this:
a., make the network installer more fault-tolerant: cache the packages to be installed locally on the device.
b., have the option to create custom agents not containing all components, but only the ones used.

Please consider that agent size increases significantly version by version, increasing the importance for existing voters.

Generally, the agent is too big and users often turnoff machine while installing leading to a faulty system. Smaller agents with faster install time may help. so +1 for b
