Installation, Setup and Configuration
>>>Hi Bela,
>>>
>>>To-day provided me with another reason (and a solution) to using a non-VFP application for a loader or launcher program.
>>>
>>>One of my users got a new box. The tech support person copied the files he had on his old machine (Win95B) to the new one (Win2K). Unfortunately, he didn't do the necessary install (think of where we, as programmers, would be if we could get away with not checking our work< bg >). Anyway, because the WSH does provide registry read/write functionality, it's a rather simple matter to add the necessary code to the loader/launcher to make sure that the appropriate files are registered. If they're not, notify the user, then launch the install program. While in this case the setup would have failed (user didn't have adminstrator rights), it would have at least provided them with information as to what the problem was.
>>>
>>>Since we're in the midst of a shift to Win2K, I'll be implementing this shortly.
>>
>>
>>Yes, my refresh.exe is a small exe written in c++. I also use it as my own installer.
