Move cloud service configuration client to regular client installation package

[Uffe]

Hi all,


The cloud service installation package installs both the server and the configuration client.
This is, well I don't want to say poor design but... dammit, it is poor design.

The configuration client should be installed with the regular EA client. The server should be a separate installation.
The current way is more convenient for sandbox proof-of-concept testing, I grant you, but for production use it is plain wrong.

In a production environment, you want the config client installed on the administrators' desktop machines. The server should only be installed on those machines where it is intended to run. With the installer the way it is, installing the config client means installing the server as well and setting it running as a Windows service -- not what you want on a desktop machine.

I understand the desire to keep things simple and convenient for those who just want to try things out, but it kinda leaves those who have decided to actually use the product properly paddleless somewhere up the creek.

So please, distribute the config client with the EA client and the cloud server on its own.

For the license server you get the choice to install the service, the client, or both.
Didn't they do something similar for the cloud service?

Hm. Yes, actually.

Well alright then.

What you need Uffe, is a cardboard Geert - next to you.  When you want to rant, you turn and rant at the cardboard cut-out and Geert will respond with the answer.   

Maybe blow up his avatar picture and stick it on something?

You don't have to get complicated.  A4 tapes nicely to your average party balloon.  It would of course be Geert Ballookens!
