Control Windows Installer Packages
In addition to the Meridian server setup program, the Meridian distribution package includes Windows Installer (MSI) packages for the Meridian client programs, which can be run from a command line
The Meridian client installation packages install only client components and cannot be used to install server components or developer components. Use the server setup program to install the server components as described in Install the Server Components and Install the Developer Components.
To install a package with the default options, double-click the file to open it with the Windows Installer program. The program will present an installation wizard for manually choosing available installation options.
If you want to install a package on many computers with Active Directory or another automated deployment method, run the Windows Installer program in a command window with the optional command-line arguments and switches to specify the installation options you need.
