The installer does all installs. On start the user selects what he 
wants to install, i.e.
- server
- client
- or single place version

Surely, the user must know the IP of his server for a server or 
client installation but I prefer to keep things as simple as 
possible. If he needs to enter "localhost" for the server and an IP 
for the clients, chances are that people will make faults.

Since I am gathering information from existing installations during 
installation which will get lost after an update, I want to exclude 
all possible problems as far as possible.
This thing will be handed out to Pharmacists and I already know them ;-)

Yes. I need to write an Admin account, add global settings for all 
users gathered from existing installations, write expiry date and 
serial numbers etc.

Everything is ok there. The machine is networked. It's working well 
in mixed Mac/PC environment.
