 Whistle Studio is can be used for maintenance of Whistle tables.  It is a desktop application that runs under Windows XP/2003 or greater and requires the Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5 to be installed. The total size of the installation is around 50 megabytes of disk space.  There are two different deployment strategies available – running a Microsoft Installer file (.msi) or using the ClickOnce application deployment technology.

 ClickOnce application deployment requires a web server that can host pages with Frontpage Server Extensions enabled.  The application is installed and downloaded from an internally accessed web page.   The advantage to this strategy is that when the program is run, it can automatically check with the web server for any updated versions and install them all with the single click of a button.  This way there is no need to go around and update all the workstations running Whistle Studio individually.
 To install the Whistle Studio for the first time with ClickOnce, navigate to the internal web page and click the ‘Install’ button.
