  1. Test your settings by running the CrashPlan_[date].exe installer.
    Make sure the installer.exe file and the Custom folder reside in the same parent folder.
  2. Re-zip the contents of your Custom folder so you have a new customized.zip that contains:
    • Crashplan_[date].exe
    • Custom (includes the skin and conf folders)
    • cpinstall.ico
  3. Turn your zip file into a self-extracting / installing file for your users.
