Welcome to Hummingbird Deployment Wizard

Before you can use this wizard, or access product-specific Help, you must
install a deployable Hummingbird Connectivity product. If necessary, when
installing the product, make sure to select Hummingbird Deployment
Support in Custom Setup.

About Hummingbird Deployment Wizard

With Hummingbird Deployment Wizard, you can create a Web-deployable
installation of any Hummingbird Connectivity product that includes an
automatic connection to a host. This feature leverages the capabilities of the
modular Hummingbird Connectivity architecture to give administrators
more control over managing end users’ desktops while reducing the
amount of resources required to maintain them.
Hummingbird Deployment Wizard includes the following components:
Project Deployment Wizard Lets you create or edit deployment projects
that describe everything you need to deploy HostExplorer from a Web
server. You can also use Project Deployment Wizard to specify any existing
package files to include with the project.
Index Page Wizard Lets you create or edit HTML indexes that contain
links to multiple deployment projects on a single Web page.
Projects Update Wizard Simplifies the task of updating the
Hummingbird Connectivity product version within existing deployment
projects.
Hummingbird Deployment Packager Lets you create custom package
assembly files that define how package files (containing extra documents,
data, and applications) are deployed with the HostExplorer product.

About Deployment Projects

Deploying a Hummingbird Connectivity product consists of three basic
steps:
For more information, see 1 Use Project Deployment Wizard to create and save a deployment
“Creating Deployment project. Project Deployment Wizard takes the information you provide
Projects” on page 15. and generates a completed deployment project, which includes a Web
page and a deployment package.
2 Transfer the project output files to a Web server.
3 Distribute the URL of the project location (on the Web server) to end
users. When the user clicks the URL link, the content of the project is
extracted and deployed to the user’s machine and is used to start a
Hummingbird Connectivity product session.
The first time the end user clicks a particular project link, the
deployment runtime component deploys the necessary components to
the user’s machine. If the user has previously clicked a project link, the
deployment runtime component determines if any component updates
are necessary and makes those changes before starting the session.
A Hummingbird Deployment Wizard Profile This file describes the
deployment project. It is saved by default to the following location:
Windows 2000/Server 2003/XP:
C:/Documents and Settings/All Users/Application
Data/Hummingbird/Deployment Wizard/Profile

Windows Vista:
C:/ProgramData/Hummingbird/Deployment Wizard/Profile

Output Files The following files and directories are saved to the location
you specified in the Project Output Settings area:
• An HTML folder, containing generated Web pages.
• An Images folder, containing any graphic or image files that you
included on the Web Server Information page.

4
 Chapter 1: Deploying Hummingbird Connectivity Products

• A Packages folder, which includes package assembly files that are

deployed to the end user’s PC.
You can create multiple • A generated Web page (MyProject.htm). When the end user opens this

project. product session are deployed to their PC.

About HTML Indexes

For more information, see If you choose to create an index page, you can use the Index Page Wizard to
“Using the Index Page specify multiple deployment projects and create a single Web page that
Wizard” on page 36. contains a link to each one. You can then distribute this single URL to end
users.
For example, you could use the Project Deployment Wizard to create
different deployment projects for each department in your company, and
then use the Index Page Wizard to create an index page that contains links
to all of the projects you created. You can then distribute one index page
URL to all departments, enabling users from each department to open a
deployed project on their local machine by selecting the appropriate link on
the index page.

Updating Deployment Projects

For more information, see You can use Projects Update Wizard to upgrade from one version of
“Using the Projects Update selected deployment projects to another, eliminating the need to manually
Wizard” on page 40. apply changes to each individual project. If you install an update patch of a
Hummingbird Connectivity product on your machine and redeploy a
deployment project, the updated Hummingbird Connectivity product
components and profile settings are included in the project.

About Deployment and User Permissions in Windows

Vista

Per-User Deployments
A user with elevated permissions (for example, an Administrator on a
machine where UAC (User Account Control) has been disabled, or any user
who has used a UAC-related tool to elevate themselves) cannot install a
per-user deployment. This is by design in Vista, because the potential for a
user with elevated permissions to execute code from a low-security location
(for example, Registry’s HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive) is viewed as a
security risk.

10
 Chapter 1: Deploying Hummingbird Connectivity Products

Unsuccessful per-user deployment scenarios:

• If an administrator runs a per-user deployment and UAC is turned off,
the deployment will not succeed.
• If a user runs a per-user deployment after elevating themselves with a
UAC-related feature (for example, Run As Administrator), the
deployment will not succeed.

All User Deployments

Users with default permissions (for example, non-Administrative) have not
been able to run All User deployments since Windows 2000. Vista imposes
some new permissions-related issues for these types of deployment projects.
For example:
• If UAC is enabled, the Administrator cannot run an All User
deployment unless he elevates himself first by using the Run As
Administrator feature when starting Internet Explorer.
• If UAC is disabled, the Administrator can run All User deployments
without any other steps being required.

for the links to remain
valid.
Specifying Index Page Information
The HTML Page Information page lets you specify settings for the index page
output, as well as identify a background image and other information for
the index page that the wizard generates at the end of the process.

When you are finished, the wizard places the index file in the output
directory you specify. You can then move this file to a Web server directory.

To specify index page output settings:

1 In the Index Page File Name box, specify a name for the generated HTML
file, or accept the default name.
Most Web servers support the default name of My_Index.htm, so if you
accept the default name My_Index in the Index Page File Name box, you do
not need to add My_Index.htm to the URL address in the Web browser.

38
 Chapter 1: Deploying Hummingbird Connectivity Products

2 In the Index Page Destination Directory box, specify (or browse to) the
directory in which you want to place the index file.

Note: The Index Page Destination Directory must contain a fully

qualified path name. Relative paths are not recognized.

The index page output directory can be either the same directory or
the parent directory of the output directory for the associated
deployment project(s).
You must copy the generated files, as well as any image files you are
including, from the destination directory specified here to the appropriate
Web server directory before you distribute the URL to end users.

To specify Web server settings:

In the Image Vir tual Directory box, you can specify the virtual directory on
the Web server that points to your Web images.
By default, the HTML code looks for image files in the Images folder. If you
specify a virtual directory in the Image Vir tual Directory box, the HTML code
is modified to point to that location, thereby eliminating the need to
manually edit each HTML file to update the image location.
If you specify a virtual directory, make sure to transfer your images from
the project destination directory to the specified folder on the Web server.

To specify Web page settings:

1 In Index Page Title, specify a title to appear in the title bar of the browser
window containing the index page.
2 In Background Image File Name, specify an image file to appear as a
background for the index page, or browse for one.

39
Hummingbird Deployment Wizard User’s Guide

To specify display settings:

In the Index Page box, select one of the following:
• If you want the index page to appear in the same browser window as the
deployed version of the Hummingbird Connectivity product, select
Open In Same Browser.
• If you want to keep the index page and the deployed project open at the
same time, select Open In New Browser.

Click Build to create the HTML index. Based on your specifications, the
wizard generates a Web page, which includes a link to each deployment
project you selected. The generated HTML file is saved to the output folder
that you specified.

Using the Projects Update Wizard

The Projects Update Wizard simplifies the task of updating Hummingbird

deployment projects between version patches. For example, you can use the
Projects Update Wizard to upgrade from one version of selected
deployment projects to another, eliminating the need to manually apply
changes to each individual project.
To update projects between full product versions, rebuild the projects using
Hummingbird Deployment Wizard.

To start the Projects Update Wizard:

To open the Projects Update Wizard, start Hummingbird Deployment
Wizard. Select Projects Update Wizard in the Wizard Type box on the
Hummingbird Deployment Wizard Welcome page.
Click Next to select projects to update.

40
 Chapter 1: Deploying Hummingbird Connectivity Products

Selecting Deployment Projects to Update

The Deployment Project Selection page lets you select the deployment
project(s) that you want to upgrade.
On this page, the Projects Update Wizard lists all deployment projects
previously created and saved in Hummingbird Neighborhood.

Note: When migrating deployment projects created in previous

versions, you will need to move the project files manually from the
Connectivity User Directory to the Hummingbird Deployment
Wizard User Directory.

41
Hummingbird Deployment Wizard User’s Guide

To update deployment projects:

1 Select the check box beside each project that you want to update. To
update all projects (including assemblies), select Hummingbird
Neighborhood.

2 Click Build to update the specified project(s). Hummingbird

Deployment Packager generates and saves the updated files.
3 Click Finish to close the wizard.
4 Copy or FTP the updated contents of the project destination directory,
including the subfolders, to the virtual directory on your Web server.

Moving Output Files to a Web Server

For both deployment and index projects, all generated files are placed in the
output folder that you specify in Project Destination Directory. After the
project is built, you must copy or FTP all of the generated files from these
output folders to a Web server directory, making sure to preserve the
directory structure.

To transfer generated project files:

Copy or FTP the project output files into any Web server directory.
Internally, HTML files and deployment components use relative URLs to
locate other objects, enabling you to move the deployed files to another
Web server without having to edit the HTML files.
Images do not have to be in the same directory as the project files. If images
are not in the same directory, make sure you specify the path in the Image
Vir tual Directory box.

To transfer generated HTML index files:

Copy or FTP the index output files to the HTML Virtual Directory path,
making sure to preserve the directory structure.
For all of the links in the index page to be valid, the output files for the
index page must be in the same output directory as the output files for all of
the deployment projects that are specified on the index page.

42
 Chapter 1: Deploying Hummingbird Connectivity Products

For example, if you create two deployment projects, and you include both
projects on the index page, the generated files for the index and for both
projects must be in the same output directory.
When moving files to the Web server directory, make sure you include all of
the following:
• the Packages folder, including all package assembly files that are
deployed to the end user’s PC
• the HTML folder, which contains generated Web pages
• the Images folder, which contains any image files included in the
project
• the generated Web pages (MyProject.htm(s)and MyIndex.htm)

Distributing the Project or Index URL

When you have finished creating the projects and moving the output files,
you can deploy the project by distributing the URL for the deployment
project(s) or HTML index to end users.

Issuing the URL for Deployment Projects:

The project URL that you distribute to end users is as follows:
http://ServerAddress/HTMLVirtualDirectoryPath/HTMLFileName.htm
where:
• ServerAddress is the server address (machine name or IP address) of
the Web server.
• HTMLVirtualDirectoryPath is the name of the directory path that you
created for the HTML files.
• HTMLFileName is the file name of the generated HTML file that contains
the download link to the project. This name is specified in the HTML File
Name box on the Web Server Information page.

For example, if you create a deployment project named YearEnd for the
Finance department of your company, and you place the project output
files in the PROJ\Finance directory on a server named WebServer, you would
distribute the following URL to end users in the Finance department:
http://WebServer/PROJ/Finance/YearEnd.htm

43
Hummingbird Deployment Wizard User’s Guide

Issuing the URL for an HTML Index:

The project URL that you distribute to end users is as follows:
http://ServerAddress/HTMLVirtualDirectoryPath
/IndexFileName.htm
where:
• ServerAddress is the server address (machine name or IP address) of
the Web server. This server address does not need to be the same as the
server address for your deployment projects.
• HTMLVirtualDirectoryPath is the name of the directory path that you
created for the HTML files. This directory path must be the same as that
of the deployment project.
• IndexFileName is the file name of the generated index HTML file. This
name is specified in the HTML File Name box on the HTML Page
Information page.

For example, if you create an index project named finance.htm that

contains links to all of the deployment projects for the Finance department
of your company, and you place the index page project files in the
PROJ\Finance directory on a server named WebServer, you would distribute
the following URL to end users in the Finance department:
http://WebServer/PROJ/Finance/Finance.htm
