Summation Blaze LG products can be purchased
as Mobile-edition (also known as stand-alone edition) or Network-edition
(also known as concurrent-user edition) product installations.
This document only applies to network-edition clients, NOT mobile-edition
products.
Installing the network-edition of your Summation
product is a two step process (see the installation guide that
came with the installation CD-ROM for more details):
- Server
installation - Appropriate program files are copied to
a network server location.
- Network
Client Installation - Upon completion of the server installation
step, the network client component must be installed on the
individual workstations.
In order to facilitate more efficient
application deployment, in addition to the standard network client
"setup.exe" program Summation now offers a network client
installation MSI package that can be run interactively or silently.
IMPORTANT
NOTE: The MSI package must be matched with the appropriate
release of Summation. The current release of Summation is Summation
Blaze LG/iBlaze 2.0 December 2002 release (the sw32.exe file has
a "modified date" of 12/3/2002). Do not use the MSI
with a release version that is different than the release for
which it is intended. Failure to correctly match the MSI with
the release version will result in unpredictable system performance.
Supported methods of MSI deployment:
Interactive Mode
Silent mode (manual method)
Silent mode (application deployment / "push"
deployment)
| |
| |
Interactive
mode:
|
| 1. |
Confirm
that the appropriate release of your Summation product has
been installed on the server. The current release is December
2002 (the sw32.exe file has a "modified date" of
12/3/2002), the MSI properties will reflect the version for
which the MSI was designed. |
| 2. |
Copy
the "Summation Blaze LG Client.msi" file to the
"Client Setup" directory in the server installation
directory on the network if it is not already present. |
| 3. |
Logon
to the target network client workstation with a username that
is a member of the "Power Users" or "Administrators"
group (only necessary for Windows NT\2000\XP systems). |
| 4. |
From
the workstation desktop, browse to the "Summation Blaze
LG Client.msi" file on the network. Double-click on the
file. |
| 5. |
Follow
the directions for installation. If step 1 was performed properly,
the default values in the installation wizard will contain
the proper parameters. |
| |
|
Silent
mode (manual method):
This method can be used to run
the network client installation silently from the command
prompt.
|
| |
|
| 1. |
Confirm that the appropriate
release of your Summation product has been installed on the
server. The current release is December 2002 (the sw32.exe
file has a "modified date" of 12/3/2002), the MSI
properties will reflect the version for which the MSI was
designed. |
| 2. |
Copy the "Summation
Blaze LG Client.msi" file to the "Client Setup"
directory in the server installation directory on the network
if it is not already present. |
| 3. |
Logon to the target network
client workstation with a username that is a member of the
"Power Users" or "Administrators" group
(only necessary for Windows NT\2000\XP systems). |
| 4. |
Open a command prompt (DOS
box) and change your working path to the directory containing
the "Summation Blaze LG Client.msi" file. |
| 5. |
Run "Summation Blaze
LG Client.msi" /qn . This will execute the installation
silently using information contained in the "sw.ver"
file located in the same client setup directory. |
| 6. |
Upon completion, a new
shortcut will be located on the desktop. |
| |
|
Silent
mode (application deployment / "push" deployment):
The Summation Blaze LG network
client MSI can also be deployed silently using a number of
application deployment technologies such as Microsoft Windows
2000 Active Directory, Microsoft SMS, or other deployment
programs that utilize the windows installer service (.msi
files). The key to silent deployment is to insure the sw.ver
file from the "Client Setup" sub-directory is in
the same directory as the MSI file upon execution. |
| |
|
| 1. |
Confirm
that the appropriate release of your Summation product has
been installed on the server. The current release is December
2002 (the sw32.exe file has a "modified date" of
12/3/2002), the MSI properties will reflect the version for
which the MSI was designed. |
| 2. |
Copy
the "Summation Blaze LG Client.msi" file to the
"Client Setup" sub-directory in the network server
application directory if it is not already present. If a location
other than the default "Client Setup" directory
is desired, simply copy the "Summation Blaze LG Client.msi"
and "sw.ver" files together to that alternate network
directory location. |
| 3. |
Configure
the application deployment program (i.e. Active Directory,
SMS, etc.) to deploy the Summation Blaze LG Client MSI from
the "Client Setup" sub-directory or the alternate
network directory location as determined by step 2. |
