Client Install on Terminal Service
The process for installing the FaxFinder Client software in Terminal Services is as follows:
Run the FaxFinder Client for Terminal Services installer as an administrator on the terminal
server.
Once the installation is complete, a shortcut to the FaxFinder Client is created in the Startup
section of the start menu for All Users (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start
Menu\Programs\Startup). This causes the FaxFinder Client to start up automatically when any
user logs into the terminal server. If this is not desired, the shortcut in the All Users start menu
may be deleted and placed in user-specific Startup folders as needed.
Users running the FaxFinder Client must be granted full permissions to the "Multi-Tech
FaxFinder" printer or the client will error on start up.
The users may be added to the Power Users group, which has full access by default, or can be
given permission individually by selecting Properties on the printer and navigating to the Security
tab.
Push Installs of the Client Software
The FaxFinder Client installer is now available as an MSI package. This provides the ability to perform
remote installation using Microsoft Group Policy, SMS, as well as other third party tools. The installer can
be run like any other Windows software installer and it can also be invoked from the command line using
the Windows Installer command ‘msiexec’.
Previous versions of the FaxFinder Client (1.08.06 and
older) must be uninstalled before upgrading.

o TARGETDIR=PATH (default is Program Files/Multi-Tech Systems/FaxFinder Client
Software)

o ADDFILEEXT=1 (default is 0)
Start the FaxFinder client after installation:
o LAUNCHPRODUCT=1 (default is 0)
