How do I prevent the Client software from prompting to install as a service?

Post# 278

If you would like to prevent the Client software from giving the option to install as a service, this article will help you. 

Inhibit Installing as a Service:

A new registry key, “DontAskService,” inhibits installing the Client as a Service. If the key is set to FALSE, the Client installer presents an option to install it as a Service. If set to TRUE, the Client will not give the option to install as a service and will install as an application by default.

Edit the rbackup.reg file under the Client installer,  or C:\Program Files\RBS Server\Client folder, using Notepad. Add the key under the Settings branch.

Rebuild your client installers.
