We have used the method below to create CDs for JDE installs of fat clients
and it worked fine. We install Terminal Servers as glorified fat clients.
I cannot take credit for originally posting / creating this method, but I do
not have the original e-mail... so thank whoever that was

Create CD for JDE install

1. Create the target directory
I've created a B733 folder on my target workstation, however, you can use
any name you want as it does not matter.
2. Copy Selected files to the target directory
From the B733 directory of the Deployment server, copy the following folders
and files. You will need to make the appropriate directories on the target
as needed for the last three entries shown on the table. I've used "C200101"
for a package name. Replace with the package(s) name you are using.

Copy from:
Copy to target directory as:
OneWorld Client Install folder => OneWorld
Client Install Folder
HelpsCOMP folder =>
HelpsCOMP folder
SYSTEMCOMP folder =>
SYSTEMCOMP folder
PACKAGE_INF\C200101.inf =>
PACKAGE_INF\C200101.inf
Pathcode (i.e. CRPB733)\Package\DATACOMP => Pathcode (i.e.
CRPB733)\Package\DATACOMP
Pathcode (i.e. CRPB733)\Package\C200101\*.Cab => Pathcode (i.e.
CRPB733)\Package\C200101\*.Cab

3. Modify path names in selected files
It is necessary to modify some the paths listed in files in your target
directory

a. In the PACKAGE_INF directory of the target, modify each .inf file. You
will be changing the paths of four lines in the [SrcDirs] section to read as
follows:

SCRPB733=..\CRPB733\Package\C200101
SSYS=..\SYSTEMCOMP
SCRPB733DATA=..\CRPB733\Package\DATACOMP
SHELP=..\helpscomp

b. In the target's OneWorld Client Install folder, open the INSTALL.INF
file. You will be changing one line in the [FileLocations] section to read
as follows:

PackageInfs=..\PACKAGE_INF

4. Burn the CD
a. Create the CD so that all folders copied to the target are at the root.
5. Install from the CD
a. Run setup.exe or Installmanager.exe from the OneWorld Client Install
folder on the CD.
b. The rest of the install process is the same as installing from the
Deployment server.

** If you want to put an update package on a CD rather than a Full, copy the
update package folder and its contents to the \CRPB733\Package\ folder.

Hi All

I have seen a JDE document regarding Installing Client Machines using a CD,
however I can find no information regarding the creation of this CD.

Ideas anyone, and would this method be suitable for restoring the WTS client
as a Disaster Recovery method??

Thanks in advance!
