Distributed Installation

[sclerox]

I should install Bo on several machines, but those machines have have a real messy libraries situation, and, unfortunately, I could not "touch" (format & reinstall) them. What I thought is to install all the libraries on a lan server, realizing a sort of thin client, fat server environment. Is it possible ?
Could you help me anyhow ?

The type of solution you are looking for is via Citrix.

You could also look at the BO Shared installation. However, keep in mind that Shared installs are going away in V6.

Thanx Steve.
I heard something about Citrix, but I don't know about this solution as well as about "BO Shared istallation". Would you mind giving me information about both subjects? It would be really helpful for me!!
Bye

I'll defer to

http://www.citrix.com

for the Citrix stuff. But, it is a solution that lets you run all your applications from a shared server instead of from each desktop. Each desktop has a client that acts like a terminal into the server.

Chapter 4 of the BO Installation Guide discusses Master (Shared) installations of the BO Client. This PDF is on your BO CDs (CD2) in the Online Guides directory.
