- Installing X-Setup in a shared folder
-
- If you plan to deploy X-Setup (XSET) to many computers, you can of course install XSET
- on each computer but it's easier to install it once to a shared path and all clients
- access is from this location. For example, if you add a plug-in to this shared folder,
- all clients can use it.
-
- Requirements for this: Windows NT 4.0 and the files noted in README.TXT as "Required"
-
-
- Basically, to use XSET in this configuration, the following steps are needed:
- 1) Install XSET locally
- 2) Copy the entire Program Files\X-Setup folder to the destination folder
- on a network drive
- 3) Change the configuration as needed
- 4) Install XSET on the clients
-
-
-
- ______________________________________________________________________________________________
- Step 1 and 2:
-
- After you installed XSET, copy the entire XSET folder (e.g. C:\Program Files\X-Setup)
- to the destination folder, e.g. "S:\TOOLS\XSET". Remember to copy all files and subfolders,
- don't leave anything out!
-
-
- ______________________________________________________________________________________________
- Step 3:
-
- Start the file XQXSetup.EXE from the network folder (e.g. S:\TOOLS\XSET). Go to
- File -> Options and re-configure the plug-ins and wizards path so they point to the new
- network location.
-
- In this example, the new plug-ins path would be S:\TOOLS\XSET\PLUGINS. You might also change
- other settings as needed (e.g. other Tools).
-
- After this has been done, exit X-Setup and start REGEDIT.EXE, move to
-
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER
- Software
- Xteq Systems
- X-Setup
- CurrentVersion
-
- highlight this key and select File -> Export.
-
- Save the file to the network folder, e.g. S:\TOOLS\XSET\NETWORK, as "CONFIG.REG". This
- file will later be used on the clients to configure XSET as needed.
-
-
- ______________________________________________________________________________________________
- Step 4:
-
- Before you install XSET on the clients, make sure that the clients have the files installed
- that are noted in README.TXT! If this is done, XSET can finally be installed.
-
- On the client, start SETUP.BAT. This batch will register XSET and configure it using
- your CONFIG.REG.
-
-
-
- ______________________________________________________________________________________________
- Notes:
-
- - This installation does *NOT* create any icons. Either the clients simply start
- "XQXSetup.EXE" from the network location or you alter the SETUP.BAT so it copies a LNK file
- to the user's desktop.
-
- - If you don't care about which options are activated, you can also use SETUP_NC.BAT (NC = No
- Config). This batch works without CONFIG.REG so XSET will apply a default config when
- launched.
-
- - The clients do not need to have "write" access to any of the folders.
-
- - To uninstall X-Setup later, use REMOVE.BAT. Please note that the entries of CONFIG.REG will
- remain in the Registry!
