Configuring CAD Client MSI Files
Overview
CAD dynamically creates its installation and maintenance release installation
packages for the agent, supervisor, and administrator client applications during the
course of installing the CAD services on the host (typically a peripheral gateway). The
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 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 an
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, a new feature has been added to CAD 7.6: a
client configuration package containing an MSI configuration tool on the CAD 7.6
media that can be used independently of the server installation package.
Subsequent CAD 7.6 maintenance releases (MRs) posted on the Cisco website
include a similar package for the same purpose.

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.
