Configuring CAD Client MSI Files
Overview
CAD dynamically creates its installation and maintenance release packages for the
agent, supervisor, and administrator client applications during the course of installing
or upgrading the CAD services on the host (typically a peripheral gateway). The
resulting CAD MSI packages are located on the production server in this location:

resulting CAD MSI packages are located on the production server in this location:
C:\Program Files\Cisco\Desktop\Tomcat\webapps\TUP\CAD
The MSI files stored in this folder are intended for use in both manual and automated
deployments. The benefit of creating the install packages within the context of the
server-side installation is that the resulting client MSIs include deployment-specific
information (such as server host IP address and language selection) that facilitate a
silent client-side installation.

However, in environments where a deployment partner or customer intends to use a
third party automated package distribution tool (such as Microsoft System
Configuration Manager), access to the CAD MSI packages is frequently needed before
performing the CAD server-side installation.

To accommodate these requirements, two new features have been added to CAD 8.0:
■
For base releases, a client configuration package containing an MSI
configuration tool on the CAD 8.0 media that can be used independently of
the server installation package

Client MSI Preparation Procedure for Base Releases
The client configuration package includes an MSI configuration tool and a stand-alone
directory structure. The MSI configuration tool prompts the deployment engineer to
provide the environment-specific configuration data, and then interacts with the files
in the stand-alone directory to create the CAD client MSI.
