Installing to individual sites

SharePoint 2007 or newer

Use the following deploy solution command

STSADM.EXE -o DeploySolution -name Pentalogic.SharePointReminder.WebPart.wsp -url http://yoursite -immediate -force -allowGacDeployment

WSSv3 or SharePoint Portal Server 2003

If you wish to install the web part to a specific virtual server, you should use the -url option in addition to -globalinstall. The STSADM documentation is a little misleading, -globalinstall actually installs the web part into the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) which is necessary for it to function correctly. If you include the -url parameter it does not install the web part dwp file into every virtual servers web part gallery.

STSADM -o addwppack -filename Pentalogic.SharePointReminder.WebPart.cab -url http://<yourvirtualserve> -globalinstall -force

Code Access Security (CAS) Permissions.

SharePoint Reminder requires a high level of Security permissions to run correctly, including reading the Registry, Serialization and Remoting - hence the requirement to install into the GAC. It is recommended that you do not attempt to install the Web Part to the bin directory and set Code Access Security permissions by editing the web.config files manually.
