Well, it seems there should be someone to make the exe and the ini available as an MSI package, and instruct the users to fill in the server correctly...<br><br>Else, the MSI can be distributed and a batch file can be added to those users' login profile to copy over the ini...

had issues related back to the packaging. The application connects back to the
server and pulls in variables, when packaged those variables were populated
already causing problems related to cluster failover. I called TAC and they
said it's a known issue to uninstall all agents and re-install them
manually. That packaged installs are not supported. They are working on a
supported packaging solution. The other issue is the end users have to be full
administrator installing and running the software. TAC said that development is
also working on the rights problems.</span></font></p>

<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I do not know of an MSI (the install file is an exe).<br>
<br>
However, you can build one.<br>
<br>
For example:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.softpedia.com/get/Authoring-tools/Setup-creators/EMCO-MSI-Package-Builder.shtml" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://www.softpedia.com/get/Authoring-tools/Setup-creators/EMCO-MSI-Package-Builder.shtml
</a><br>
<br>
Will work, it ain't cheap, but it is probably cheaper than the man-hours it
would take to install the app... and then you can use it to make an MSI from
anything.<br>
<br>
(I am not hawking the product... I just googled, 'msi builder' and that was the
first hit... BTW, I couldn't find a free one) <br>

<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Good evening folks,<br>
We are starting up a call center with approximately 85 agents. Has
anyone out there developed (or know where I could look for) an "MSI"
package that can be sent to all the desktops that will install the
software? Our computer support folks don't have the manpower to
physically go to all the workstations to install the package, so I am trying to
help them out.. <br>
<br>
Any comments, suggestions, etc. are welcome and appreciated!!!!!<br>
<br>
