Installing the Professional Edition, Client

Wise Package Studio Getting Started Guide
Not available in Standard Edition.
In a client-server configuration, you perform a Wise Package Studio server installation
on one computer that is designated the Wise Package Studio server, and then you
perform a Wise Package Studio client installation on multiple client computers. During
the client installation, Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2.6 SP2 is installed to
allow connections to the remote databases.
You can perform a client installation silently from the command line.

Two client installations are available: Local and Network. You can use both the Local and
Network client installation among members of the same team; the only requirement is
that all users designate the same share point directory.
Local Client
This installs a fully functional version of Wise Package Studio on the client computer. Do
this when network bandwidth is limited.
Network Client
This is a quick and small installation for repackagers who re-image their computers
frequently. It installs only the registry settings, .INI files, ODBC data source
connections, and shortcuts necessary to run the Wise Package Studio applications from
the packaging server. It also installs MDAC, DAO runtime, MFC support files, Test Expert
support files, and the Windows Installer runtime.
Why use the Network Client configuration?
It minimizes changes to the client computers for repackaging.
It simplifies and speeds installation on client computers.
It is easier to upgrade and maintain.
The client installation uses the share point directory and Wise Package Studio databases
that are installed on the server. In a client installation, you can install the Wise Package
Studio program files on the client computer, or install shortcuts and support files that
connect to the Wise Package Studio program files that are installed on the server.
You can perform a client installation silently from the command line.
