1. Install the saver using the EXE file on one machine.
2. This will put a SCR in your Windows folder.
3. Push the SCR out to the client machines in the proper folder
4. Update the client machine's registry to select the screensaver as the default one.
5. Make sure other system requirements are installed as well: http://iscreensaver.com/requirements.shtml

1. If you haven't done so already, upgrade to iScreensaver Designer 3.5 and re-build your screensaver. Version 3.5 fixes some bugs with installation detection.

2. On a test machine that you have admin privileges:

2A. Delete the folder C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\iScreensaver\Saver\

2B. Install the saver using the EXE installer file. Launch the screensaver at least once.

2C. This will put the SCR in your C:\WINDOWS folder. Grab a copy of this file.

2D. Grab the entire support file folder located at C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\iScreensaver\Saver\ISC1-XXXXXX-YYYYYY

3. Create an Active Directory install process which does the following things:

3A. Places the .SCR file in C:\WINDOWS (or another sub-directory as per your configuration)

3B. Places the ISC1-XXXXXX-YYYYYY support directory in the proper place (the user's Application Support folder)

3C. Selects the SCR as the currently selected screensaver.

3D. Shadows the system.ini value to
SCRNSAVE.EXE=C:\WINDOWS\MYSAVER.SCR
(replace MYSAVER.SCR with the actual 8.3 filename of your screensaver) See http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms815030.aspx or
