Free Wininstall 8.7 course for beginners

This will explain newbie's how to complete install the evaluation or full version of Wininstall from scratch. Later in the course you will learn how to create a Adobe Reader package for Wininstall. Years of experience is in this course. Just follow it and with a little luck you will be able to roll out packages in a few hours.

The course material is AVI movie with Speech and is compressed in a ZIP file to save bandwidth.

If you need further assistance or a remote demonstration of Wininstall, contact us. We able to give you a good overview over the product with all the good and the bad sides it has. This will save you a lot of time and money. Our neutral position and long experience in large environment with Wininstall can help you avoid pitfalls before you see them. Consulting on hourly basis. Please ask for pricing.

We are also able to give you an overview of the different Repackaging tools which currently exist on the market. You will get inside hands on experience information from someone who uses these tools daily. Information at this level can't come from sales persons.

What do you need to start:
  • Wininstall 8.73 eval or full version
  • Running Microsoft SQL Server 2000 or 2005 Standard and all Service Packs
  • A Windows 2000/2003 Server with c: d:
  • Access to generate a ADS user called "deploy" which will be in group "Domain Admins"
  • A Windows 2000/XP client where you can try installing the Agent and Packages
We have chosen the full version of SQL to educate. There is SQL MSDE Desktop Edition version of Wininstall. But I think for real interested companies it's good idea to buy the SQL 2000 standard. Maybe with the 2005 out soon you even get a good price from a dealer for this. You can all MS products and open/volume licenses trough Butsch Informatik. We are a listed MS dealer since 1993. You are able to run WUS Windows Update Server over the SQL2000. So it's a good investment if you don't already have one in place.
