Questions about InstallAware's update abilties
Posted: Tue Aug 05, 2008 9:38 am
I am currently evaluating InstallAware as my company needs a better install solution. I am very impressed with everything I've seen so far, but I am having trouble determining whether or not it can support a few features around patches we would like to have.
1. When we issue a patch, we would like someone at the client to determine whether or not that patch is going to get pushed out at their site. Is there some sort of mechanism for this in your automatic updater, or would we need to write this ourselves?
2. We would also like the clients to have the ability to download the patch once from us, copy it to a well-known location in their local network, and then have all their machines get the patch from there instead of over the internet. Is there a way to make that work?
Thanks for your help.
