Installing Software

Depending on how you choose to deliver your package to your

customers, Brooktrout provides its software as an MSI package

(boston.msi) or as selectable modules that you can merge into an

existing MSI package. This section discusses these options and

provides instructions to implement them.

Installing the Brooktrout SDK

Dialogic delivers this installation package as a Microsoft® Software

Install (msi file extension) module to allow you to distribute

Brooktrout runtime software and also to integrate the package

within your setup (installation) program. In this case, integration

means the ability to launch this package from another program. Our

package can either be spawned by:

„

Creating a link to boston.msi in your autorun application, or

„

Double clicking on the boston.msi file.
