If you aren't remapping drives, I've found that you can usually install
the apps first, then Metaframe. Most apps are not "Metaframe" aware so
they don't care if Metaframe is already installed or not, and Metaframe
doesn't care if apps get loaded before or after either. This is handy if
you are using a disk imaging product, since you can imaage your server
with all it's apps without having to worry about Metaframe and it's IMA
services getting fried during the restore.
If you are remapping drives, then of course you should do that BEFORE
you install ANY apps, or you are going to spending a lot of time in the
registry making things work.

Subject: [THIN] Building MF server
I've been administrating our Small Farm (3 server) for a
year. Now it's time for me to build some new servers to upgrade the
older working ones. I've been reading a lot about the installation
procedure most of it is pretty straight forward and I have working
servers to check settings etc.
My first big question is do I install all Applications
before installations MF? We publish a desktop. Office viewers, a couple
of home grown Apps ,Adobe reader and SAP. DOS clients.
I'm sure I'll have some more questions.
Thanks,Joanne
