BlueZone has undergone third-party testing to become Microsoft
Certified for Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8. This means
that BlueZone passed all of the tests to ensure smooth installation
and operation, as well as a user experience consistent with the Windows
Vista operating system. Some of the hallmarks of Windows Vista include
User Access Control, Protected Mode, and the ActiveX Installer Service.
The following guide describes using BlueZone with Windows Vista,
Windows 7, or Windows 8.
- BlueZone is installed using the Microsoft Installer (MSI).
- BlueZone uses the permissions As-Invoker when
running and does not require administrator permission to perform any
regular BlueZone function.
- Installing for All Users under an administrator account is recommended.
- BlueZone configuration files, scripts, macros, and so on can be
deployed with the BlueZone MSI automatically by including them in
the BlueZone installation source directory image. Refer to Creating a distribution image for more information.
- All user files are written to All Users\Application
Data\BlueZone\ at installation time.
- On the first run, BlueZone copies the files from All
Users\Application Data\BlueZone\ to the user's working
directory.
- At run time, BlueZone compares the files in the user's working
directory to those in All Users and updates the
user's working directory with any new files found in All
Users\Application Data\BlueZone\.
