Knowledge shared by Oren
I understood that some of the people that install 19.5.1 avoid using the feature of generating Robot/Studio MSI wrappers because it take 2-3 minutes more time in the installation.
As a result – they use the EXE version of the client EXE setup, configure the appSettings and LogBeat manually, make sure to copy the config files to every client machine, and then throw on the customer IT to keep copy this settings files.
It sounds to me not so productive.
One more important thing that you probably don’t know – if the FQDN of the server is being provided to the client installation, it will know to automatically configure the “Trusted domains” settings in IE, and save you yet another 1-2 hours trying to understand why the SSO does not work.
So I ask you – ALWAYS create the client MSI. ALWAYS.
For future version we will create in addition to the MSI files also batch file for the EXE files with all the CLI parameters, for cases that the customer prefers to use EXE and not MSI.
