Installing X-Setup in a shared folder

If you plan to deploy X-Setup (XSET) to many computers, you can of course install XSET 
on each computer but it's easier to install it once to a shared path and all clients 
access is from this location. For example, if you add a plug-in to this shared folder, 
all clients can use it. 

Requirements for this: all files noted in README.TXT as "Required"


Basically, to use XSET in this configuration, the following steps are needed:
1) Install XSET locally
2) Copy the entire Program Files\X-Setup folder to the destination folder on a network drive
3) Change "COMMON.BAT" as needed
4) Install XSET on the clients

Optional: Change the configuration as needed and export a file called CONFIG.REG (see below).


______________________________________________________________________________________________
Step 1:

Perform a full install of XSET to any folder on your hard drive, 
e.g. C:\Program Files\X-Setup

______________________________________________________________________________________________
Step 2:

Now copy the entire XSET folder to the destination folder, e.g. "S:\TOOLS\XSET". 

Remember to copy all files and subfolders, don't leave anything out!

______________________________________________________________________________________________
Step 3:

Right click COMMON.BAT and select "EDIT" from the appearing menu. Change the line with 
"SET XSET_PATH=" to the path where you have copied all files to, e.g. 

SET XSET_PATH=S:\TOOLS\XSET

This way, XSET knows where to find its files.

______________________________________________________________________________________________
Step 4:

Before you install XSET on the clients, make sure that the clients have the files installed
that are noted in README.TXT! If this is done, XSET can finally be installed.

On the client, start SETUP.BAT. This batch will register XSET and apply a default configuration
when first started. 


______________________________________________________________________________________________
Optional: CONFIG.REG

Start the file XQXSetup.EXE from the network folder (e.g. S:\TOOLS\XSET). Go to 
File -> Options and change the options as needed (especially change the plug-ins and wizards
folders to point to the new network location).


After this has been done, exit X-Setup and start REGEDIT.EXE, move to 

 HKEY_CURRENT_USER
   Software
     Xteq Systems
       X-Setup
         CurrentVersion

highlight this key and select File -> Export. 

Save the file to the network folder, e.g. S:\TOOLS\XSET\NET_INSTALL, as "CONFIG.REG". If 
SETUP.BAT is executed, the batch file will detect that CONFIG.REG exists and merge it into
the registry so this configuration is used and no default configuration will be applied.

Notes:

- This installation does *NOT* create any icons. Either the clients simply start 
  "XQXSetupStart.EXE" from the network location or you alter the SETUP.BAT so it copies a 
  LNK file to the user's desktop.

- The clients do not need to have "write" access to any of the folders. However, if this is
  the case, no client will be able to update the "Tools" menu.

- To uninstall X-Setup later, use REMOVE.BAT
