Re: How are EULA's handled

These applications\tactics are not SMS specific--they work the same whenver
you need to package a program for silent installation.

Basically all it does is create a template or some type of transform that
setup.exe/the .msi reads to know how to install the app. Those
transforms/.ini files or whatever, are what makes the EULA signed for the
user and so there aren't any pop-ups for them to check.

you just "push" the packaged program just like any other program with SMS.
