What is the difference between Single, Multiple and Self-extracting archive installations?
A. AmirusMM is distributed in three ways — as a Single machine distribution, as a Multiple machine distribution, and as a Self-extracting archive file. The Single and Multiple machine installations first load a bootstrap program, which then requests additional files from our web site. The Self-extracting archive contains all the files of the distribution within it, and these files are reconstructed when the file is executed on a Windows system. Generally, you use the Single machine distribution if you are installing AmirusMM on a single machine. This machine must be connected to the internet, as the installation process will request additional component files from our web site. During a single machine installation, you are able to decide which components you wish to install. This is useful if you want to try out the product on a single machine — although it is designed for multiple-machine network installation, all components can be tested and examined in a single machine ‘sandbox’.
