Four Ways to Deploy Eazy Fix

Eazy Fix is designed with enterprise requirements in mind. To meet the demand of various scale enterprise clients, Eazy Fix provides four deployment methods ranging from individual PC setups to company wide network installations.


  1. Typical Setup :Install Eazy Fix on individual workstations with the setup CD or electronic download.
  2. Network Setup : Install Eazy Fix from a network share folder with pre-configured program settings, or use a network software deployment tool to distribute the software.
  3. Script Setup or Unattended Setup : Push out Eazy Fix with a client script which runs automatically when the client logs onto the network.
  4. Deploy In System Image : Include Eazy Fix program files in a system image using an imaging software such as Symantec’s Norton Ghost.

The deployment strategy discussed here supports both Eazy Fix and Baseline Shield.


Default Setup

To install Eazy Fix on individual workstations, follow these typical setup procedures


  1. Insert the setup CD; auto run menu will pop up.
  2. Select Setup from the autorun menu.
  3. Select Typical or Custom setup option.


Network Setup

If you need to setup Eazy Fix on multiple PCs on a network, to eliminate the hassle of carrying a CD around to setup each PC, Eazy Fix allows you to run the setup from a network share. Follow these general guidelines to install an Eazy Fix over the network


  1. Copy the Eazy Fix files from CD into a folder on your server and create a share for the folder.
  2. Create a Setup Configuration File (SETU.INI) using the Setup INI Wizard utility provided in the Deployment folder of the program CD. Copy the SETUP.INI file into the folder created in step 1.
  3. To Install Eazy Fix on a workstation, access the shared folder from the workstation and run setup.exe.
  4. Select Unattended Setup ption at the setup selection screen. Unattended Setup will read in the setup parameters (such as product ID, password, protection type, program settings and installation directory) from the SETUP.INI file that has been configured in step 2 above. At the end of the Unattended Setup, the computer will automatically restart.
  5. If you are using a network software deployment tool such as Microsoft SMS server, Novell ZENworks and etc to deploy software, please follow these guidelines:
  • Create a BEFORE snapshot of the system with the network software deployment tool.
  • Create a folder called EAZ on the root of the C drive and copy all of the Eazy Fix program files into that folder.
  • Create the SETUP.INI file as aforementioned in step 2.
  • Copy the SetAutoSetup.exe (which can also be found in the Deployment folder of the program CD) into the EAZ folder and double click to run it. SetAutoSetup.exe will write some deployment settings into the system registry.
  • Run the network software deployment snapshot program again to create an AFTER snapshot and create the software deployment package.
  • Deploy the software package and reboot the target system.


Setup with Scripts (Unattended Setup)

For some network administrators who prefer to use client side scripts to deploy new applications to workstations, Eazy Fix can also be easily integrated into their custom scripting install scenario. Follow these general guidelines to deploy Eazy Fix within a network script:


  1. Copy the Eazy Fix files from CD into a folder on your server and create a share for the folder.
  2. Create a Setup Configuration File (SETU.INI) usingh the Setup INI Wizard utility provided in the Deployment folder of the program CD. Copy the SETUP.INI file into the folder created in step 1.
  3. To use a client side script to install Eazy Fix when client logs on, include “setup.exe /s” within the setup script. Setup /s starts Eazy Fix setup wizard to silently read in the setup parameter from the SETUP.INI file configured in the step 2 above.

No user intervention is required during the setup. Setup will restart the computer automatically at the end.


Deploy Eazy Fix In a System Image

Eazy Fix can also be included in a system image for deployment, like that created by Norton Ghost or similar utility; However, due to Eazy Fix's security design, some of the Eazy Fix components don’t not exist in file format. Instead they exist as bits and bytes on the physical sectors of the hard drive. A normal Ghost approach to imaging a hard drive will not be able to include all Eazy Fix components. Please follow these guidelines to prepare a hard disk for imaging:


  1. Copy the Eazy Fix files from CD into a folder on the hard disk that you will use to create the "Gold Image". Rename the folder as EAZ.
  2. Create a Setup Configuration File (SETU.INI) using the Setup INI Wizard utility provided in the Deployment folder of the program CD. Copy the SETUP.INI file into the folder EAZ created in step 1.
  3. Copy the SetAutoSetup.exe utility, provided in the Deployment folder of the program CD, into the EAZ folder and double click to run it. SetAutoSetup.exe will write some deployment settings into the system registry. DO NOT reboot the Windows after running SetAutoSetuo.exe which had created some registry entries to automatically start the Eazy Fix program setup, rebooting into the Windows will kick off the Eazy Fix auto-setup process.
  4. Now the system is ready for creating the "Gold Image".

This "Gold Image" contains the Eazy Fix setup files rather than the actual Eazy Fix deployment. Once the image is dumped onto a system, at the first startup, AutoSetup.exe generated registry entries will trigger the Eazy Fix auto-setup process. This process is silent and transparent to the users. Setup reads in the program parameters from the SETUP.INI file without any user interaction. At the end of the setup, AutoSetup.exe will automatically remove the Eazy Fix setup files and restart the system.
