GDE Windows Service Installation

This option is used to use GDE to index/discover File Servers.

  • GDE installation may be converted to a Windows Service using the WindowsServiceInstall.bat script in the GDE folder.

    • WindowsServiceUninstall.bat uninstalls the service setup.

    • Service mode does not require a login user.

GDE Software Update

The agents that use the default MSI package update themselves from DECE Servers. The endpoints must have access to documents.decesoftware.com/Setups/. Update checking occurs every 2 days.

Offline Software Update

You may provide a local update address if you have many clients or endpoints without internet access.

  1. Reserve a shared space accessible from the endpoints. The sample address used here is \\ServerX\GEODI\Agent\. Read-only access is fine.

    1. You should download the up-to-date MSI package and GDE-autoupdate.txt file from documents.decesoftware.com/Setups/GDE-autoupdate.txt and documents.decesoftware.com/Setups/GEODI.DesktopExplorer.msi. This must be repeated for each update.

    2. You should replace the URL address (the bold line in the below box) with your local address. No other value should be changed.

    3. You must use the new UPDATE_URL value in deployment. If you do not change UPDATE_URL, the endpoints check DECE servers for updates.

      1. Sample UPDATE_URL → file://\\ServerX\GEODI\Agent\GDE-autoupdate.txt
