Overview

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]

To integrate, you need to do the following:

• Configure your Setup program for unattended installation, and reboot delay (this enables the entire installation to be automated).
• Create an information (INF) file that details how to install your application. SCW will use this INF file to run your Setup program on the client computer.
• Modify the existing SCW client setup process to include your application.
• Create a preinstallation application that installs your Setup program and your application files to the correct server location.

When the network administrator installs your application to its network location, it is your preinstallation program that runs. Your preinstallation program performs the following:

1. Copies the INF file for your application to the %sbs%\SmallBusiness\Template directory.
2. Copies all the files needed by your actual client Setup program to the server location specified in the INF file for your application.
3. Modifies the Setup Computer Wizard initialization file, SCW.INI.
4. Modifies the client optional component file, CLIOC.INF.

When users elect to install your application, the Setup Computer Wizard uses the information specified in your application's INF file to install your application on the client computer.
