Move cloud service management client to regular client installation package (II)

[Uffe]

Hi again,


This is further to an earlier post of mine, but first I retracted and then the thread went funny.

But.

You can't actually use the SparxCloud.exe installer to install just the management client. The best you can do with the service is select "Feature will be installed when required," you can't actually deselect it (as in "Entire feature will be unavailable") -- which you can do with the management client (and the HTTP support).

So rant back on.

The management client needs to be separated from the service installer-wise. The whole point of the cloud service is to work in a networked environment. Who logs on to a server to manage its services? Nobody, that's who.

Meanwhile, can someone enlighten me as to when the service is actually required? In other words, if I defer installation of the service, under what circumstances will it suddenly install without me asking?

Thanks,
