For exemple, I use only a .INF file to deploy Kixtart. And since we don't use KXRPC, I don't include kx95.dll in the package. So, only 4 files are needed: kix32.exe, kx16.dll, kx32.dll and kix.inf.

KIX.INF

code:

---

As you can see, that .INF file is easy to understand and should work with all versions of kixtart.

Then, this is the .SED file:

Since the .INF will create a registry entry, you check on it to install kix. If you need to install without admin rights, remove the [KixReg] section...
