Network Installation

If you want to offer a network installation (e.g. install from CD to the hard disk on the server) then use the file setup-network.exe instead of setup.exe.

Server Installation

The installer performs the following tasks:

•	Asks for an installation directory

•	Copies all files to a specified directory on the server - if an file already exists, the file is replaced

•	Adds the necessary user rights to the specified directory

•	Copies the player, database mmf file and the license file to the specified directory, including an icon file

•	If selected, places an icon on the desktop

•	Adds a program manager group and an entry within the program manager group to start the Multimedia Player

•	Adds uninstall information

•	Starts the application after installation

•	Creates 2 files for network Client setups - folder ...\install\setup-client.exe and setup-client-advanced.exe.

The server installation can be started on any Client / Workstation PC. There is no need to start the installation on the server.

Client / Workstation setup

Each PC has to run a Client / Workstation setup, using setup-client.exe, which performs the following tasks:

•	If selected, places an icon on the desktop

•	Adds a program manager group and an entry within the program manager group to start the Multimedia Player

•	Adds uninstall information

•	Starts the application after installation

All files reside on the server.

Advanced Client / Workstation setup

It is possible to copy the mmf (file) database to the local PC. This makes sense if huge flash files are used and network connection is an issue. The disadvantage is, that no central installation is available and updates have to be done on each Client PC. Multimedia Protector just loads the file, which is played via the network. The size of the database does not matter - only the size of the files which are loaded into the Multimedia Player .

Each PC has to run a Client / Workstation setup, using setup-client-advanced.exe, which performs the following tasks:

•	Asks for an installation directory

•	Copies the mmf file to a specified directory on the local PC

•	If selected, places an icon on the desktop

•	Adds a program manager group and an entry within the program manager group to start the Multimedia Player

•	Adds uninstall information

•	Starts the application after installation

The Multimedia Player resides on the server, the database is on each local machine.
