Creating a Remote Installation
The FaxPress remote installation program allows you to pre-configure the client
installation and install it on a network drive for end user installation.
Things to consider before you start:
„
Decide whether you are going to make the remote installation available on a
network drive for end user installation, or whether you are going to push the
program on to the end users workstations with a program like SMS or Zen Works.
If you are going to place it on a network drive or shared drive, have the drive
parameters available before initiating the installation process.
„
The remote installation creation process is two basic steps:
1. First the client installation program is copied to the drive that you specify, then
2. The installation configuration procedure is performed to configure the remote
installation for silent running. This is the same installation configuration process
performed for a stand-alone client installation. Among other parameters, you will
be asked to provide the client installation destination directory and the client
installation network type. Be sure that the drive letter you designate is available
for every end user and that they are all on the same network type.
„
At the end of the installation configuration process the program will tell you that the
user workstation must be restarted for all the changes to take effect. Choose Restart
Now.
„
Finally, the pre-configured remote client installation will be available in the drive you
designate. The program name is rsetup.exe.
