Hello, I recently took over a system that includes a terminal server running on Windows Server 2003. I need to upgrade software on it (quickbooks) for users to be able to access but I have little experience with Terminal Server. I have done some research and found these steps on how to install software, but wanted to run it past the community to see if this is correct. Is there anything else I need to be concerned with, or is there a different, easier, better way?<br />
<br />
<br />
1. Log on to the terminal server as an administrator and close all applications.<br />
2. To open a command prompt, click Start, point to All programs, point to Accessories, and then click Command prompt. <br />
3. Type change user /install and press ENTER. <br />
4. Install the program on a local NTFS file system formatted drive as directed by the installation program.<br />
5. At the command prompt, type change user /execute when installation is complete.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance

Installation is the act of making a computer program program ready for execution. Because the process varies programs often come with a specialized program responsible for doing whatever is needed for their installation. Installation may be part of a larger software deployment process. Cross platform installer builders that produce installers for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux include InstallAnywhere, InstallBuilder and Install4J. Installers for Microsoft Windows include Windows Installer, InstallShield, and Wise Installation Studio; free installer-authoring tools include NSIS, IzPack, Clickteam, InnoSetup, InstallSimple and WiX. Mac OS X includes Installer, and also includes a separate software updating application.
