Creating a Shortcut to CONNX Setup
To expedite the silent client installation of CONNX, you can create a shortcut to the CONNX Setup.
The contents of the CONNX installation medium are stored in the same network share folder as the Setup.iss file, for example, N:\CNX\setup.iss.
1. On Windows Explorer, right-click on the Setup.exe file in the N:\CNX\ folder. Click New -> Shortcut and then type the path to the setup files in the Command Line text box; for example, N:\CNX\setup.exe -s -f1N:\CNX\setup.iss, where N:\… represents the location in the network of the setup files.
2. Click the Next button and type a name for the shortcut; for example, Client Installation. Click the Finish button.
The shortcut can then be sent via e-mail to all client machines for convenient installation of the silent client.
CAUTION:
You must ensure that the network path you select is available to all client computers. If not, you must enter the full UNC path on each computer designated a CONNX client computer.
If OLE DB or ODBC data sources are to be accessed by client machines, the driver or provider must be installed on ALL clients. If a System or User DSN is to be used, the SAME DSN must be set up on and made available to all clients.
