[. . . ] The distribution tool captures any changes the installation makes to the computer and enables you to automatically make those same changes on other computers. · Follow the directions on pages 2-4 of this guide to define the user preferences in a registry file and to silently install the QuikSync 3 software on other computers. This enables you to install and configure QuikSync 3 software without any end-user intervention. Defining QuikSyncTM 3 Software Preferences Define QuikSync 3 software preferences by creating a registry file named "iomqs3. reg" and copying the file to the user's hard drive. QuikSync 3 software uses the registry file to determine the QuikSync 3 software settings.

NOTE: You can create a script that copies the registry file to user's computers and silently installs the QuikSync 3 software. Installing QuikSync 3 on User's Systems Verify that both the source and destination directories you selected in the registry file reside on each user's system, or the user will receive errors.
