Distribute iFolder 2 client

[hajo68]

What is the best way to distribute the iFolder 2 client?
We run ZenWorks 7.
Is there a MSI-version of the client?
Can it be converted to MSI via Wise or InstallShield?
Anyone tested and have any cons and pro's?

Hi Stefan,

We are just distributing the files and register values belonging to iFolder2 client with a simple NAL application and it works fine.

Just do a local install and pick the files and registry values from it.

We are distributing the files/folders:
C:\Program Files\Novell\iFolder
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\niffltr.sys

We are distributing the following registry values:
