About this Article:
Installing the beloved GroupWise client isn't always a piece of cake. However, Novell is offering more support for the Windows Installer in ZENworks. Specifically, with ZENworks Suite 6.5, Novell provides ZENworks software packaging by offering the InstallShield AdminStudio ZENworks Edition. AdminStudio ZENworks Edition helps you configure Windows Installer packages, then use ZENworks for the distribution.
In this two-part article, you'll learn all about these capabilities and what they mean for GroupWise deployment. The first half gives you an introduction to the Windows Installer service and an experimental Windows Installer package for the GroupWise 6.5.1 client.

He's a Formativ custom development partner and one of the key developers of GWAVA Reveal. In The Netherlands, he
