There are some thing you may do to automate the component distribution process to make it easy to install on a separate machine.

CMI object model allow you to make self installing packages. That means you will just have run the exe and it will install
everything to the database and repository automatically (pretty much the same as MS QFE packages do).
You don't really need the weupdate.exe in your package.

You can even think of a backup and rollback process for the setup.

One theoretically simple way (not to dig much into the CMI itself) would be to create a script to be used with CMIExplorer to
install new SLDs in to the Mantis DB.
