e, <br />7 <br />Task 151- Create Installation Packages for CDSS Software <br />Objective: <br />Provide standard installation packages for CDSS software tools (StateView/CWRAT, <br />TSTooI, StateDMI, StateMod and GUI, StateCU and GUI, StateWB) suitable for <br />distribution from the CDSS web site, email, and CD. <br />Background: <br />In the past, the primary means for distributing CDSS software was the CDSS web site. <br />At that time, the HydroBase Microsoft Access databases were also distributed from the <br />web site at no charge. The installation packages for software were developed using <br />InstallShield in most cases, with only StateCU and StateWB using a different tool. For <br />several years, the State has charged a fee for HydroBase and it is now distributed <br />primarily on CD. The StateView and TSTooI software are also distributed on the CD. <br />However, there is still a need to distribute software from the web site, for the following <br />reasons: <br />Some software, including TSTooI, StateMod, and StateCU do not directly depend <br />on HydroBase and are sometimes used independent of HydroBase. <br />Incremental software updates may occur, and if made available on the web site, <br />would centralize the update procedure. <br />Some users may want to preview software before purchasing the CDs. <br />Assumptions: <br />The focus of this task will be to create stand-alone installation files for CDSS software, <br />for distribution on the CDSS web site. Files distributed on the CDSS CD could use the <br />same install or may use a different approach, as determined by State of Colorado IT <br />personnel. <br />After creating the initial installation packages in this Task, RTi will not be responsible for <br />packaging software created and maintained by other consultants (e.g. StateCU, StateWB, <br />etc.). If necessary, RTi will provide assistance in updating the software install packages <br />through support and coordination tasks. <br />Approach: <br />For the purpose of this scope, separate software downloads will be developed for the <br />following products: <br />^ StateView/CWRAT <br />^ TSTooI <br />^ StateDMI <br />13 <br />
