Installation and distribution features
McAfee anti-virus products, including VirusScan software, now use the
Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI), which comes with all Windows 2000
Professional systems. This Setup utility offers a wealth of custom installation
and configuration features that make VirusScan software rollout across large
organizations much easier and more intuitive. To learn more about how to run
custom Setup operations with MSI, see

This VirusScan version also comes with complete support for the McAfee
ePolicy Orchestrator software distribution tool. A specially packaged
VirusScan version ships with the ePolicy Orchestrator software, ready for
enterprise-wide distribution. You can distribute VirusScan software,
configure it from the ePolicy Orchestrator console, update that configuration
and any program or .DAT files at any time, and schedule scan operations, all
for your entire network user base. To learn more about using ePolicy
Orchestrator software for VirusScan distribution and configuration, consult
the ePolicy Orchestrator Administrator's Guide.
This VirusScan version also includes package description information for
other distribution tools, including Microsoft System Management Server and
Tivoli Systems software management products.
