I've done it. I first create the workstation setup. Then I put a Setup directory under the root directory for my server installation. In that Setup directory I put \Disk1, \Disk2, etc. from the workstation install. I then create the setup install. After the user installs the app on the server, he or she can just run setup.exe in the approot\setup\disk1 folder from each workstation.
The only tricky thing I've run into is that you need to have at least one file in the workstation setup that gets installed in the "application" directory. For example, if you have some OCXs that get installed in the system directory and you check the box for the run-time files (which also get installed in the system directory) and don't have any other files, the setup won't work. You get some error that seems totally unrelated when you run setup.exe. Add any file that isn't a system file and everything works fine.
>After an application has been installed on one computer or a server, is it possible to create another setup.exe that will allow a workstation to be configured automatically? Mainly to handle the ocx registration and putting the run-time files in the workstation system32 direcory. Has anyone tried this?
