Version 3.1 of Offline iHRIS installs the default sites, but there is a command line argument that lets you specify an alternate directory to use for your site. This was added so that a country can reuse the installer and just specify an alternate site for whatever component they want. The idea is that the administator at a central office will specify their site with all of its customizations. Then they can just distribute to district offices a CD or a USB key with our installer and their site and a windows batch file to run the installer with the appropriate command line option, e.g:

      OffLineIhris /components=ihrismanage /ihris-manage-site="manage-site" /mysqlpass="something"   /apacheport=8081 /mysqlport=8082 /Silent 


Note that since they are allowed to get as complicated as they want with their site, the site can then load whatever data they need, e.g., all the positions, facilities, district information, etc.
