CAD Desktop Client Applications
Configuring CAD Client MSI Files
Overview
CAD dynamically creates its installation and maintenance release packages for the
agent, supervisor, and administrator desktop client applications during the course of
installing or upgrading the CAD base 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 stored in this folder are intended for use in both manual and automated

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 8.5:

For base releases, a client configuration package containing an MSI
