We must install Forms 6i runtime for WIN NT on some Computers.
The Problem is we have the Complete Developer CD but we don't want to use this because its more than the user need to install
and we think that some of the user installed more than they need. I can't install it because the users are to far away from me. I think about a MSI Installation it's possible to do that. What tools need i for this. I'm a application Programmer and no System specialist so please help me.
Many thanks
Uli

I have an idea which might work with a bit of hacking . . .
Many of the files in the install directory of the cd are text files. In particular, the 'NT.PRD' and 'WIN32.PRD' specify what components are available. You could try doing a clean install of just the runtime, making a careful note of what was installed (dependencies and so on), then create a copy of the developer CD, but with a carefully modified PRD files, so they can only install what is absolutely necessary for the runtime.
You will, of course, have to test this by doing reformatting the hard disk, re-installing windows, and try installing forms runtime to see if it works.
