editing source files

[B21playa]

there are a few features that i dont want users to be able to carry out suhc as
creating pages, new connections, etc.

At the moment i have found solutions, but editing the code in the .xml files
once installed.

Is there any way to edit them before installing so each machine does not have
to have the files edited after installtion each time?

in effect re-creating the setup.exe file

I agree with B21playa, it would be nice to have an easier way to address these
issues. I'd like it if there was a way to make these items options during the
Connection key creation process.

i emailed technical support but othing wil be answered unless you have a
prodce serial number. This is not good as im considering it for my workplace
but not good if these things are not addressed

Im using it with CPS and certain functions as a writer are disabled, like
managing connection, but where are these in the cfm or xml files after
installing?

If i could find these, then maybe edit the code to make it do exactly what i
want it to

Try looking at TID tn_19596 at Macromedia's Knowledge base. It tells you
how to install Contribute without flashpaper, maybe that will get you
started on something. The other thing you could look at is editing the
..msi file that Contribute actually installs from. When you install
contribute using that .exe file, it just unpacks some .msi files, then
runs them. By using an MSI editor you can edit the install options of
that file.
