The Novell Application Launcher plug-in is installed by the Novell Application Launcher plug-in installation manager. The Novell Application Launcher plug-in installation manager, the Novell Application Launcher plug-in, and the Novell Application Launcher plug-in support files are copied to a Web server during installation of the ZENworks Middle Tier Server. On a NetWare® Middle Tier Server, the web_server_root\nwdocs directory is the target installation directory. On a Windows Middle Tier Server, it is the inetpub\wwwroot directory. The files are packaged in the following .cab files:
zfdinstallmgr.cab: Contains the Novell Application Launcher plug-in installation manager DLL used to manage installation and update of the Novell Application Launcher plug-in files.
zfdplugin.cab: Contains the Novell Application Launcher plug-in files.
netidentity.cab: Contains the files required to manage identities and securely authenticate Novell Application Launcher plug-in users to the ZENworks Middle Tier Server.
instmsi.cab, instmsi9x.cab, instmsint.cab: Contain the Microsoft Windows Installer, version 2, required to install the NetIdentity files. These .cab files are installed only if the user does not have version 2 or higher of the Windows Installer.
The myapps.html page, which is installed to the same directory, references the Novell Application Launcher plug-in installation manager .cab file (zfdinstallmgr.cab). When a user accesses the myapps.html page, if Application Launcher or the Novell Application Launcher plug-in is not already installed on his or her workstation, the Novell Application Launcher plug-in installation manager .dll file (zfdwebinstallmgr.dll) is extracted from the installation manager .cab file to the Windows \system directory and then registered. After the myapps.html file is completely loaded, the installation manager begins installing the Novell Application Launcher plug-in and its support files.
