Administration Pack - ISPs

The standard ASSP Toolbar for Outlook client installer is provided by us as a zip archive file containing a Windows Installer (MSI) package, which end-users extract and run to install ASSP Toolbar for Outlook on their computer. Once installed, the toolbar needs to be configured for the particular ASSP server installation being used.

The toolbar client installer is able to configure and fix many of the toolbar’s settings according to pre-configured values that are specified via a specially prepared ‘presets’ file that is co-located with the installer MSI package. The client installer will detect any such file at installation time and copy it to the toolbar’s target installation folder together with the toolbar’s constituent files. The toolbar will then use the settings from the presets file, obviating the need for the end-user to configure them him/herself.

The ASSP Toolbar for Outlook Administrator is designed to make it easy for ISPs to create customised installation packages that include their own presets file, which they then distribute to their customers for easy installation. ASSP Toolbar for Outlook Administrator provides the following main features:

• A graphical user interface (GUI) that enables the ISP to create and manage its own toolbar preset files. A presets file specifies a range of settings that pre-configure customers’ toolbars to work with the ISP’s ASSP server.

• Creation of pre-configured client installation packages to be distributed to end-users, either as single-file zip archives or single-file ‘self-extracting’ executable installers. When creating a self-extracting installer, ASSP Toolbar for Outlook Administrator provides support for digitally-signing the executable.

In fact, any number of presets files can be created with ASSP Toolbar for Outlook Administrator, so an ISP can ship different configurations to different groups of users, should the need arise. Here is a screen shot of the ASSP Toolbar for Outlook Administrator:
