Client Tool consists of two files, the executable file and the installation script file. The system administrator distributes these two files to end users via email or the Web to allow the end users to install JP1/Software Distribution Client without being aware of the installation set located whether on the file server or FTP server. Since two files are required, however, the system administrator and the end users need to make some effort for distribution via email and download from the Web.

This section describes the methods that allow the end users to execute Client Tool efficiently. They are the distribution of compressed Client Tool and the use of a batch file for the logon script.

This section also describes the method of installing JP1/Software Distribution Client easily in an environment containing a Windows 95 client machine.
