If possible we prefer all the files compressed into the msi. Some
suppliers do this, Symantec AV uses a setup just as a front end for the
msi packages.
Other suppliers have an msi package and some cab files. The way we
like to install them is to copy the files from a network server into the
temp directory of the client pc. The package is then run from there
using system credentials. We can use this method to copy down entire
structures and so far it's been OK, although in general the less files
to copy the better.
Now, I'm not sure how I can deliver this to him using InstallAware. The options I have are either a single file, a mass of individual files (CD mode), or a few split files (web).
So the question is how compatible with enterprise deployment are the InstallAware output files? Do you have information on such things so that I can include how to do the MSI rollout in our documentation for end users?
Many thanks,
Matthew
