There are two main options when installing QMF for Windows: whether or not to customize the installation files and what type of installation to perform.
You can install QMF for Windows using the standard installation files originally included on the distribution CD or in the downloaded distribution package. Using the standard installation files allows you to perform the most common type of installation, selecting from the most commonly used installation options. Alternatively, you can use customized installation files. When using customized installation files, more installation options are available.
There are two basic types of QMF for Windows installations. In a full installation, the entire set of QMF for Windows files is installed on each user's machine. In a file server installation, the full set of QMF for Windows files is installed only once, on a file server, and only a small set of system files are installed on each user's machine. A file server installation can make it easier to support a large number of QMF for Windows users' machines.
If you want to perform a full installation, you can use either standard or customized installation files. If you want to perform a file server installation, you must use customized installation files. No matter what type of installation is performed, the installation program must be run on each machine on which QMF for Windows will be run (although this process can be automated with customized installation files).
