Configuring the NexJ Studio installer

The NexJ Studio installer repository consists of a number of files that, when properly configured and placed on a website or file server, provide an installer and update site for NexJ Studio.

This chapter provides instructions on how to configure and deploy this installer to allow users to install NexJ Studio through a website. The users can update NexJ Studio through the Help > Check for Updates functionality.

Delivering the NexJ Studio installer on a file server or a local drive

The examples in this chapter all assume that you are delivering the installer over a web server.

However, you can adapt these instructions for use over a network, or even for use on a local drive. For example, you might use the following path declarations:

To deliver over a web server: http://example.com/installer
To deliver on a file server: file://server-name/installer
To deliver from a named drive: file:///d:/installer

Important: If you want to create an installation DVD, you can configure the installer to work from a named drive. However, if you do this, then all users of the DVD must ensure that it appears on their system using the drive name that you used to configure the installer. That is, if you configured the installer with a path such as file:///d:/installer, then all users must be sure that the disk appears as the D: drive on their system.
