Make sure that users understand the system requirements and have the
administrative rights that are required for the products that they are installing.
For example, to install pcAnywhere, users who are installing on Windows
NT/2000/2003 Server/XP must have administrator rights on their own computers
and must be logged on with administrator rights.
If your package restarts the client computer at the end of the installation, notify
your users that they should save their work and close their applications before
they begin the installation. For example, a silent installation on Windows 98
computers restarts the computer at the end of the setup.
Include a URL in your email message that points to the client installation as
follows:
For Internet Information Server:
http://Server_name/Virtual_home_directory/Webinst/
where Server_name is the name of the Web-based server,
Virtual_home_directory is the name of the alias that you created, and Webinst
is the folder that you created on the Web server.
For example:
http://Server_name/ClientInstall/Webinst/
For Apache Web Server:
http://Server_name/Webinst/
where Server_name is the name of the computer on which Apache Web Server
is installed. The IP address of the server computer can be used in place of the
Server_name.
