New WinInstall 5.1 Announced at Networld+Interop 95!

New WinINSTALL Version 5.1 Supports Software Distribution for Windows 95
and NT

Includes Support for 32-bit Applications, Registry Updates and Long File
Names

(Naples, FL) -- OnDemand Software, Inc. announced today Version 5.1 of
WinINSTALL, the award winning electronic software distribution product.

Version 5.1 automatically installs and uninstalls 32-bit applications (as
well as the 16-bit applications WinINSTALL previously supported) for
Windows 95 and Windows NT Workstation. Version 5.1 also supports 32-bit
registry updates and long file names.

Version 5.1 features tight integration with Microsoft Systems Management
Server to assist in the migration of networked PCs from Windows 3.x to
Windows 95, while eliminating the need to visit each PC on the LAN. A
powerful software distribution solution for customers, this approach uses
Microsoft Systems Management Server to determine target machines, to
distribute files and to launch WinINSTALL as the install process on users'
desktops.

"Widescale software distribution and installation can be an expensive and
time-consuming task," said Adam Taylor, lead product manager for Microsoft
Systems Management Server. "By combining the strengths of WinINSTALL and
Microsoft Systems Management Server, administrators can take advantage of
a powerful and cost-effective solution to simplify this task."

WinINSTALL can automatically detect when a Microsoft Systems Management
Server client is running on the same workstation, allowing a network
administrator to take advantage of the Microsoft Systems Mangement
Server-specific features within WinINSTALL. For example, the Microsoft
Systems Management Server "Unique ID" is automatically available in the
WinINSTALL Administration Program for use as a WinINSTALL database key or
database item.

WinINSTALL can also create a Microsoft Systems Management Server Package
Definition File (PDF) to assist in building distribution jobs and will
provide information to the Microsoft Systems Management Server Status log
via a Status Management Information File (MIF). The Status MIF provides
information about the success or failure of installations or
uninstallations from the desktop as well as error information.

"WinINSTALL 5.1 saves tremendous amounts of time that justify its use in
one upgrade of an application," stated Jack Palmer, OnDemand Software's
Vice President of Sales. "WinINSTALL eliminates scriptwriting and
debugging, and that alone frees network administrators to perform other
tasks more critical in their environments."

WinINSTALL Version 5.0, released in July, introduced relational database
support for enhanced monitoring and control of WinINSTALL activity, file
compression for wide area network distribution, and a new add- on product,
WinINSTALL Remote, for application delivery to remote PCs over a dialup
modem or any email gateway.

Version 4.0, best known for its DISCOVER feature that eliminates script
writing normally required by software distribution applications, Microsoft
Test for example, received numerous industry awards and endorsements. Some
include PC Week Product of the Week, PC Week Analysts' Choice, Network
Computing's 1995 Well Connected Award for Top Distribution Product and
Computer Reseller Magazine's 1995 Test Center "Recommended" status.
