Installation Overview
The installation process requires a one-time configuration done by running the setup.
Configuration info is stored in both “setup.properties” and “setup.properties.user”.
The “.properties” files need to be copied from the machine which the initial configuration was done on to the target server(s) needed for each component together with the setup itself.
When running the setup with the configuration file it will jump straight to the ‘install’ stage in the wizard.
Note that if they are to be moved between servers they needed to be placed under the “SkypeShield.Setup ”folder which is created when running the Installer EXE.
When first running the Installer EXE file it will first self-extract and create a folder at the same location named “SkypeShield.Setup”. This folder will contain 3 folders:
• Payload – Which contains a A clean copy of every component and other installation tools and
scripts
• Prerequisites – Which contains all All the different prerequisites needed for the installer as well
as for the different components (.NET, C++ Redistributable etc.)
• Scripts – Which contains the The installation scripts that used by the installer will use to install the
different components
