- 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
