places the selected installation file and the

avpdtup.exe application into this

subfolder. The avpdtup.exe application controls the installation procedure on the

been installed on this workstation. If the product has been installed, the program

does not take any actions; if the product has not been installed, the program

starts the installation procedure (installation is performed in the background

the user).

request for rebooting will be displayed on the remote computer.

avpdtup.exe will be

started but it will not repeat the installation; therefore, you do not have to remove

the above string from the login script.
