Automation of software installation - should I ask for text or file?
- by Denis
I am preparing a software installation in Windows environment for my application. During installation it asks for Subscriber ID which should be entered into text field.
I am wondering if it is a best solution for mass installations. I know that for mass installations IT teams use systems like Microsoft System Center which allow automate deployment. But I do not know much about capabilities of such systems. Can such system automate data entry into the text fields? Will it be better to change installation process and ask not a text but a file which contains Subscriber ID?
By the way, I am looking for beta testers for my software. This software let user view Microsoft Project files without having Microsoft Project installed.
