Preparing the Installation

There are several ways that you can prepare the EXTRA! installation to suit your environment prior to end user installation. These include:

• Changing default values provided in the MSI file for installation options
• Adding files to the installation.
• Creating a batch file to facilitate installing EXTRA! from the command-line
• Advertising the installation or installing through group policy

  Note: To install EXTRA! directly, users must have administrative rights. However, you can make EXTRA! available to restricted users by advertising the installation or through group policy.

For more detailed information, refer to the following topics:
