>>>Hi all,
>>>
>>>Does anyone know where I can find a VFP EXE Loader utility for installing on a user's workstation and being able to recognize a newer version of the app on the network and copying it to the local drive? I would also expect it would do memory checking etc.
>>>
>>>I'm sure this type of utility has already been done and can be deployed as a generic tool but I'd also be interested in any samples.

>>>Let me know.

>>I use a VBScript file to do basically the same thing. The script is generated when the application is installed. I also check for, and, if necessary install the Windows Script Host at this time to make sure that I can use the script. The listing that follows is a slightly modified version of a generated script.

Dim oFSO, oLocal, oRemote, cExe, cLocal, cRemote, oShell, cParm
>>cExe = "MY.EXE"
>>cLocal = "C:\LOCAL\"
>>cRemote = "F:\REMOTE\"
>>cParm = " -cC:\LOCAL\MY.fpw"
>>Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
>>Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
>>Set oRemote = oFSO.GetFile(cRemote & cExe)
>>If Not oFSO.FileExists(cLocal & cExe) Then
>>  oRemote.Copy cLocal
>>Else
>>  Set oLocal = oFSO.GetFile(cLocal & cExe)
>>  If oRemote.DateLastModified > oLocal.DateLastModified Then
>>    oRemote.Copy cLocal
>>  End if
>>End if
>>oShell.Run(cLocal & cExe & cParm)

Sorry if this comes through twice. The UT's hiccuping again.

Also there are few files here available for download. One of them is Nick's Nekloudov, as I recall.
