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: Windows NT 4.0 and the 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 the configuration as needed
4) Install XSET on the clients



______________________________________________________________________________________________
Step 1 and 2:

After you installed XSET, copy the entire XSET folder (e.g. C:\Program Files\X-Setup) 
to the destination folder, e.g. "S:\TOOLS\XSET". Remember to copy all files and subfolders, 
don't leave anything out!


______________________________________________________________________________________________
Step 3:

Start the file XQXSetup.EXE from the network folder (e.g. S:\TOOLS\XSET). Go to 
File -> Options and re-configure the plug-ins and wizards path so they point to the new
network location. 

In this example, the new plug-ins path would be S:\TOOLS\XSET\PLUGINS. You might also change
other settings as needed (e.g. other Tools).

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\NETWORK, as "CONFIG.REG".  This 
file will later be used on the clients to configure XSET as needed.


______________________________________________________________________________________________
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 configure it using 
your CONFIG.REG.

Notes:

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

- If you don't care about which options are activated, you can also use SETUP_NC.BAT (NC = No 
  Config). This batch works without CONFIG.REG so XSET will apply a default config when 
  launched.

- The clients do not need to have "write" access to any of the folders.

- To uninstall X-Setup later, use REMOVE.BAT. Please note that the entries of CONFIG.REG will
  remain in the Registry!
