Step 9: Specifying Installation Settings

The Installation Settings screen lets you specify how the web-deployed version of the HostExplorer product installs on an end user’s machine.

To change the installation settings:

1. In the Program Files Installation Type list, select one of the following options:
2. • All Users—Applies the installation settings to everyone using the computer.
   • Per-User—Applies the installation settings to one user only.

     Note:		To create a deployment project that installs on a client machine with a user account that has limited software installing rights, set the Installation Path Type to Use Specified Installation Path and change the value to:
     		$USERWINAPPDATA$\Hummingbird\Connectivity\Web Deployment

2. In the Component Installation list, select one of the following options:
3. • Install All Components on First Access—Downloads all required code modules to the end user’s machine as soon as they click the session link.
   • Install Components on Demand—Downloads only essential code modules when an end user initially clicks the session link. Additional code modules download automatically when the end user accesses particular features.

     Note:

     This feature is not available if you select HostExplorer Window in Step 4: Specifying Auxiliary Files and Deployment Settings.

3. In the Installation Path Type list, select one of the following options:
4. • Use Default Installation Path—The web-deployed HostExplorer product is installed on the end user's machine in the Hummingbird\Connectivity\Web Deployment directory where the program files are installed.
   • Prompt User for Installation Path—The end user is prompted to browse to an installation directory on their machines.
   • Use Specified Installation Path—Enables the Path box in which you can specify a directory where the web-deployed HostExplorer product is to be installed on the end user's machine.

     Note:

     After the end user downloads a web-deployed version of the HostExplorer product, you cannot change the installation path. Therefore, if two deployment projects are deployed—each containing a different installation path—the first project downloaded to the end user takes effect.

4. In the Settings Path Type list, select one of the following options:
5. • Use Default Settings Path—The files which contain the specified HostExplorer product settings are installed on the end user's machine in the Hummingbird\Connectivity\Web Deployment\Organization directory where the user files are installed.
   • Use Specified Settings Path—Enables the Path box in which you can specify a directory where the HostExplorer product user files will be installed on the end user's machine. See Replacers for a list of replacers that you can use to specify the installation path.

     Note:

     There can be only one user settings path for each organization. If you want different deployment projects to use separate user settings paths, assign each project a unique organization name.

5. If desired, select Create Shortcut, and then specify or browse to a location for the shortcut.
