Gateway Setup Programs

You should provide a setup program for your gateway so users can install, configure, and remove the gateway within the Microsoft Exchange Server environment. This section describes how to write a setup program and identifies the most important installation tasks the program will need to perform.

For general information on writing setup programs, see the Setup API documentation in the Platform SDK.

Note  The installation and configuration of a gateway are closely related tasks because gateways are usually configured during installation. Moreover, setup and administration operations interact with many of the same components within Microsoft Exchange Server and Microsoft Windows NT Server.
