Packaging and Distribution

  • Article

Of course, most client applications will be further packaged into a common distribution format — such as a .cab or .msi file — and many will be installed using application-distribution mechanisms such as Microsoft Windows 2000 IntelliMirror or Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS), which both use the Microsoft Installer technology. For more on the Microsoft Installer, see the corresponding section in the Microsoft Win32 SDK.
