For those of us who are familiar with installing and removing SharePoint web parts, it’s a pretty easy process.  However, for those individuals who spend more time using SharePoint than installing and configuring it; locating and using the STSADM command can be a bit tedious.  To help simplify the installation of web parts packages, I have created a simple Web Part Package Installer program.

The purpose of this program is to make the installation of web part packages much easier for less-technical people.  Web Part Packages are stored in files having a .CAB file extension.  The nice thing about a web part package is that a package can define some initial properties and configuration settings for the web part being installed.  This is where my Web Part Package Installer program may be useful.
