Creating Multiple Versions of the Browser

Use this process to create different versions of the browser (for example, versions with different mail servers) that share many of the same settings.

The Internet Explorer Customization wizard displays the settings you specified for the original version of your custom browser. These settings are stored in the Install.ins file. By renaming the .ins files, you can quickly make changes to each version of your custom browser.

1. Create one version of your custom browser using the wizard.
2. Rename the Install.ins file, which is located in the CIE\Custom folder. For example, if you need a version for users located in Texas, you may want to name the file Texas.ins.
3. Open the Signup.htm file in the CIE\Custom folder. Create a link in this file to the Texas.ins file.
4. Run the wizard again and specify the same custom folder as the destination directory for the output files.

Be careful to keep wizard settings the same across all builds, except for the following settings, which you can customize for each build:

• Logo
• Title bar text
• Favorites
• Links bar
• Home page and Search bar
• Mail servers and domain
5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 until you have created each version of your custom browser.
