Complementing... There is a way to install CSDK without install teh gskit ? Since we don't use SSL/encription for our connections , I believe it is useless.

When you run the installer, go to the custom installation and deselect anything you don't want. Normally, the installer installs everything except the iConnect package because the CSDK package includes everything in iConnect and more. So... Art Art S.

Hi Art, This is what we are forced to do today , I choose the minimal install and just add the ODBC driver. But, this isn't what we need. I trying avoid copy the huge installer (+250MB) for each desktop/server to execute it. I want to copy a installer with only the content we need and minimize any chance of error from the our support execute this installation and install unecessary tools, drivers, services, utilities etc. I believe the minimal CSDK install + ODBC keep up to 40MB of the installer (installed , is close of 200MB). And I need a option to not install the gskit , we don't use any encrypt/SSL ... I wonder to know why we are forced to install it. Remember , we are talking about Windows environment, where "conflicts" of installers, drivers, garbage of unnecessaryproducts is all we need to get into any annoying problem.

You can build your own installer from an initial installation picking and choosing what to include and use that to roll out to multiple secondary targets. Art Art S.
