Hi Thomas
Rather than use the sdk you could simply package the files up with sms
installer and deploy them to the specific clients as you would any sms
package. SMS installer will let you copy the files to any location you like
on the client box. For sms installer see here:
http://www.microsoft.com/smserver/downloads/20/tools/installer.asp
and for info on copying files around with it see here:
