Four words: WinInstall, off hours installation. Even if there are no off hours and you are stuck with touching each machine, you can use WinInstall to simplify the installation process. The downside is that it takes some work to get WinInstall set up correctly. Once done, it is well worth the effort.

Subject: Developer 2000 upgrade for 300+ Clients
Hi Gurus,
I have tremendous task of upgrading 300-400 clients Running Developer2000 Ver2.0 to Developer2000 Ver2.1, and then apply a patch to make them up to current level.
I am trying to find out easy/better way of doing this.
Here is some info on the clients
1) All of them are on a LAN 2) 95% of them run Windows 95. 3) Network Install is not an option as management is worried about networkload.
My biggest concern is, if we have to do it manually, a lot of time will be spent on selecting multiple pieces in Installer asset manager window. So is there any way to reduce the number of steps involved.
Any info, suggestions, pointers would save us hours of work
TAI
Deen
