Installing BlueZone from a distribution image is similar to performing a standard BlueZone installation from the BlueZone
CD-ROM. It differs in the following ways:
|
• |
You can customize your installation beyond the limits of the standard installation. |
|
• |
You can include optional features that are not available during a standard installation. |
|
• |
You can pare down the files in the image to include only the files that you require. |
|
• |
You can customize the look and feel of the BlueZone emulation clients to more closely match your end user requirements. |
|
• |
You can include BlueZone Configuration files so that the BlueZone emulation clients are completely configured and automatically
connect to your hosts.
|
|
• |
You can include BlueZone script files, Power Pad files, keyboard map files, or any other dialog level configuration file.
|
|
• |
You can include the Software Activation File (SAF) which is necessary for licensing purposes. |
|
• |
You can use the image to create a Quiet Mode installation for use with software management programs that install desktop software
using push technology.
|
Creating a distribution image involves three steps:
|
1. |
Copying all the BlueZone Desktop files from the BlueZone CD-ROM to a folder on your hard drive. |
|
2. |
Deleting any files that you don't need and adding any desired optional files. |
|
3. |
Adding any additional files like the Software Activation File, BlueZone configuration files, scripts and macros.
|
Once these steps are complete, double-click
SETUP.EXE to install BlueZone using the standard InstallShield Wizard.
Further automation of the setup process can be accomplished through the use of the quiet mode installation feature. Refer
