I come from a Foxpro background and I’m used to having deployed my application using a standard setup.exe. Whilst I’m not at this stage yet, I’m wondering how I will roll-out my Servoy application as it is likely that it will need to be done on-site.
It would appear that it could be a slightly more involved process, installing the Java runtime, Servoy Application Server and importing the solution.
Our current product, a telephone call logging system, is generally installed by a 3rd Party and so I need to keep the installation process as simple as possible.
You can create an “all in one” installer if you would like. There are many free and commercial tools to build an installer. you could use something like Vise, IzPack, and more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_in … n_software
You basically install java, install the database, instal the app server, install the windows service to start database and app server, install the solution (by automating an import, or replace the repository server). It can be done, but is a bit of work
Thanks. I guess the ‘how’ will depend on which of the installers we used.
However, I’m fairly new to Servoy and Postgres, so I’m not familiar which automating the installation of a database or importing a solution. Any there any guides on these topics that you konw of?

I’ll do some searches and experiment a bit.

Hi Tony,
How did you go along with your installer? Which “packager” did you use? I do also have a similar task. I would appreciate your inputs.
