Abstract
System and method for creating platform-specific self-extracting client packages using a production server are described. In one embodiment, the method comprises compiling a source file on a first build server comprising a first computing platform to produce a first executable seed file for the first computing platform and compiling the source file on a second build server comprising a second computing platform to produce a second executable seed file for the second computing platform; and providing the first and second executable seed files to a production server comprising the first computing platform. The production server uses the first executable seed file to create a first client package and a second client package, wherein the first client package is designed to be installed and execute on a first workstation running on the first computing platform and the second client package is designed to be installed and execute on a second workstation running on the second computing platform.
