[DUG]: Interbase Distribution

[Jeremy Coulter]

HI all. I was just wondering, is there  a way to distribute IB via say Installshield, wise install, etc.? One of the biggest install issues we have is that we have to take the IB install cd with us when we do an install at a client site. (before I started, it had from time to time be forgotten !!) This, to me, gives an air of unprofessionalism to our clients, like I say this is just my thoughts, and I was wondering if there is a way to automate the install of IB. i.e. with installshield you can install DAO without having to install MDAC seperatly. I also know that wiht Installshield that you can shell out to another setup from the main setup program. This would then mean that IB would have to be burnt onto the setup CD. But I wonder how we would get on for copyright in this case....the client always gets a Server Lic. with Client Lics. too so providing the media on another setup CD might not be an issue, but....   Can anyone offer any ideas, i.e. if you CAN automate the install of IB, or if putting it onthe setup CD would be ok..etc.   Cheers,   Jeremy Coulter (manager) Visual Software Solutions 145 Langdons Road Christchurch ph +64 3 3521595 fx +64 3 3521596 cell +21 2533214 http://www.vss.co.nz
