RE: Question concerning Auto Push Install for Genero Client

I ended up "rebuilding" the installer for us.  Basically I installed the
client on a system and configured it to my liking.  Then I used an installer
builder to create an installation package for me (Wininstall would work, but
I used the freeware version of Advanced Installer from Caphyon
http://www.advancedinstaller.com/ and it did just what I needed).  
When building an installer in Advanced Installer you are able to create a
silent installer by specifying "Limit to basic user interface" then add your
files, define your shortcuts, and build the installer as an msi file.  I
preferred this method over the installer distributed by our application
vendor because it allowed me to setup a single click installer that would
install the product and allow our users to get to work without configuring
the client.  It also allowed me to bundle a few additional tools with the
product to aid in troubleshooting, enable "slave printing" (printing to your
windows printer directly from Unix), and give our users a copy of our
supported ftp client all from one install.  Hope this helps, if you have any
questions let me know.  Have a great day.

Subject: [fourjs-users] Question concerning Auto Push Install for Genero
Client


Does 4J's or anyone have any information on how we can push out Genero
client to some 300 users??  My network administrator says it will not work
for a silent push -- maybe something to do with 16-bit format??  

Please advise if anyone has any experience with this..
All of our clients are Windows XP with SP2 installed.
