DISE Bootstrapper

Overview

DISE Bootstrapper's purpose is to bootstrap ("Kickstart") a DISE player installation by automatically starting up the next logon. When it starts, it will prompt the user to insert a USB drive with the relevant DISE player installation package(s) (.exe files). As soon as a drive is inserted, Bootstrapper will run the installer provided on the drive and finally remove itself from the startup applications.

Installation & usage

• On the PC to prepare, download the Bootstrapper installer from the System > Downloads section in DISE Server's web interface.

• Run the installer.

Note: This will not install any DISE files, just cause Bootstrapper to run during startup - specifically it will add itself to the Windows registry entry "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce"

• Put an installer package downloaded from DISE Server in the root level of a USB drive.

It could either be

• A generic player installer (found in the System > Downloads section in the web interface)
• A player-specific installer (found under the player in the web interface)

• When logging in to the PC you will be asked to insert a USB drive.

• Insert the USB drive. Bootstrapper will detect installers with names beginning with "DISE_installer" and intitiate the installation.

Cancel the Bootstrapper process

Simply exit the window. Bootstrapper will by default run again the next time someone logs on to the PC.
