Appendix B: Glossary
MSI File
The “Installer” component of Windows Installer technology; Antidote’s main installation file. The file can be downloaded.
MST File (ReseauAntidote.MST, ReseauConnectix.MST)
The “TRANSFORMS” component of Windows Installer technology; the configuration file used by an MSI installer. These files are created by the Deployment Manager.
INI File (ReseauAntidote.INI, ReseauConnectix.INI)
The configuration file which specifies how Antidote is to be installed in other software (Force, Prohibit, or Offer the option). These files created or modified by the Deployment Manager. They are “stored” (encapsulated) in the corresponding MST file. The installation process extracts it and places it in the correct folder. A copy of this file is created alongside the corresponding MST file. It can serve as an initial configuration that is open and then modified by the Deployment Manager.
Deployment Manager
An application that allows you to create or modify a configuration file (actually a pair of files: the INI and MST for each product: Antidote and Connectix), used by the Antidote and Connectix MSI files. The Deployment Manager can be run from any workstation and does not need to be installed. The latest version of this application can be downloaded from your Organization Client Portal.
Update
The process or application that allows you to obtain a more recent version of the same edition of Antidote (e.g. updating Antidote 12 v1 to v2). The latest version can be downloaded from your Organization Client Portal.
Upgrade
The process of obtaining changing from an earlier edition to the current edition of Antidote (e.g. Antidote 11 to Antidote 12). License upgrades must be performed through Druide informatique.
