Hi
I have a client who asked for the MSI for our instance. Using the MSI Add-In I packaged a MSI and gave it to them. They installed it successfully, however when then going to the ALM URL (in this case a FQDN) the ALM components downloaded.
I was under the impression if the MSI was installed that the ALM components would not download each time the URL was accessed., is this correct? I have had a quick go within our systems and the same behaviour was shown. Our client uses VDI to access ALM, so each time they end the VDI session all 'user' profile information is lost. Therefore each time a user tries to access ALM the components are downloaded each time. We were hoping using the MSI would overcome this.
So, before i go assuming the MSI has been generated incorrectly, the questions I have are:
Once a MSI has been installed will the ALM components download each time the ALM URL is accessed?
On installing the MSI does this update elements on the machines Registry (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MERCURY ITERACTIVE\.......)?
Any help would be appreciated
