Specify whether or not processing messages are to be displayed and whether or not user permissions (non-Administrator user permissions) are to be used with the client. The Set Options dialog box is displayed when Client is being installed.

You can change these settings during setup.

Figure 3-16 Set Options dialog box

Processing message

Specify whether or not the client is to display processing messages during operations such as downloading and installation. The default is for the Display processing message check box to be selected.

User permissions

In the case of a Windows NT client, you can specify settings so that any user can install packages whether or not the user has installed the client.

If you select the Run the client with non-Administrator user permissions check box, packages can be installed in the GUI installation mode even when the user who installed the client is not logged on. This means that a user without Administrator permissions (non-Administrator user) can install packages. The default is for the Run the client with non-Administrator user permissions check box to be selected.

For details about installation with non-Administrator user permissions, see 11.2.3 Installing software using non-Administrator user permissions under Windows NT in the manual Administrator's Guide Volume 1.

In the case of a Windows Me or Windows 98 client, this setting is disabled. The client is available regardless of the login user's permissions.

Software Distribution Client Startup

Specify whether or not the Software Distribution Client Startup folder is to be created.

You can move programs registered in the Windows Startup group to the Software Distribution Client Startup folder. By moving the programs, you can avoid a remote installation error that may result from duplication of programs registered in the Startup group and programs for which installation at system startup is specified with JP1/Software Distribution.

To create the Software Distribution Client Startup folder, select the Create Software Distribution Client Startup folder check box. The default is for this operation to not be selected.

For details about moving startup programs, see 11.2.2 Preparing to install software during system startup in the manual Administrator's Guide Volume 1.

If you select No in the Specify Program Folder dialog box and do not select the Enable installation in GUI mode option, you cannot create the Software Distribution Client Startup folder.
