How to best mass deploy MSMQ?
Anh Khuong
end users are very non-technical and each site has only one admin
responsible for all PC's there. The admins themselves will not be
knowledgeable of MSMQ. We're using Windows 98, ME, NT, 2000, and XP and so
we'll have to install MSMQ 1.0, 2.0, & 3.0.
What would be the best way(s) to install MSMQ given these circumstances?
Would it be to create answer files & run unattended setups? Correct me if
I'm wrong, but I would have to create 3 different answer files in that case
since the format varies by MSMQ version?
Thanks for reading & for your time.

That sounds like your best bet if you don't trust people to follow
simple written instructions (installing MSMQ isn't very hard).

I think that's the case. For MSMQ 2.0 and MSMQ 3.0 you are really
creating Unattended Install files that drive Windows Setup not MSMQ
setup.
These might help...
