Installing TBK Tracker Administrator or Reporter on a Network

The Administrator and Reporter installations are tied to the version of ToolBook (if applicable) you are deploying with. The installation files of both products include an installationSettings.ini file. Here's what it looks like:

[settings]

; ToolBookVersion determines which registry location the installation looks in to

; find the location of the ToolBook runtime

ToolBookVersion=8

; use override location for a network installation or any other time that you want

; to hard-code the location of the ToolBook runtime files rather than have this

; installation read the registry

overrideLocation=

The "ToolBookVersion" entry determines where in the registry the installation programs will go to look for the ToolBook runtime location, which is in turn the location of the tbksettg3.ini file. If you are deploying on a network drive or are exclusively deploying via Flash, you likely won't make this registry entry. Instead, use the "overrideLocation" entry to specify the location of tbksettg3.ini. For example, if you deployed in Q:\training, then this entry would be

overrideLocation=Q:\training

You would manually change the installationSettings.ini file and then place it and the other installation files (setup.exe, setup.bmp, etc.) on the network drive. Managers would then install the Adminstrator and/or the Reporter from the network drive rather than from the CD.
