If you are installing Comet in a network environment you must install your server first. Once the server is setup and all the workstations connect to the server you install Comet on the workstations.
CometServerProducts.exe
The InstallShield Wizard™ will guide you through the steps required to install the files necessary for a Comet File and/or Security Server. You will be asked to "Browse" to the folder where you want CometServerProducts.exe to install the files. Then you can choose to setup the server as a Security Server and/or a File Server. When installing a Security Server, you need to select either a USB or parallel security dongle. The files installed in the selected folder are:
File Server executables: CfileServe.exe and CFAMNetServe.exe Security Server executable: CSecSrv.exe USB dongle setup and diagnostic utilities: CbSetup.exe and CbUSB.exe Parallel dongle installation files: CometKMD.inf and CometKMD.sys Service installation files and executable: CometNTService.ini, CometNTService.log, and CometNTService.exe InstallShieldTM components: InstallHelper.dll and Uninst.isu ServerInstall.exe - a separate installation utility replacing CSAdmin.exe. Note: You should not need to run this for Comet 2004 users. CometServerProducts.exe will install everything you need.
CometServerProducts.exe also installs in your Windows System folder and registers the Dlls required for your security dongle and other dlls required for the server programs to run. The DLLs are provided by Microsoft: mfc42.dll, mfc70.dll, msvcirt.dll, msvcp70.dll, msvcr70.dll, and msvcrt.dll.
You will be instructed to reboot your computer when installation is complete. CometWorkstation.exe This is an InstallShield Wizard™ that will guide you through the steps required to install and register the files necessary for a Comet workstation. You will be asked to choose from 2 installation types:

You will also be given the option of having a shortcut to Comet created on your desktop. If you select this option you will be asked to "Browse" to the folder containing your Comet configuration file (.CFG) so the "/PN=" argument can be included in your shortcut.
You will also be asked to "Browse" to the folder where you want CometWorkstation.exe to install the files. The files installed in the selected folder are:
