GenLoader questions
George T / John K:
1) GenLoader appears to perform a datecheck for a single EXE. Can this be expanded to check all files in a 'remote/source' folder for more recent versions than whats on a target workstation folder?
2) how does WSH handle file contention when multiple users are trying to copy the files down from the server to their workstation at the same time?
3) concerning SDT, currently at EXE startup, code checks for the existance of an UPDATE.TXT file that resides in the same 'server' folder as the EXE and, if present, runs the SDT 'needupdate' process. how best to handle this when the EXE will be on each workstation? how best to have the local EXE 'find' the database on the server: SET PATH in code, PATH = in config file, START IN value on shortcut, ...
4) does this method work with Win95, 98, ME, XP, XPpro, 2k?
5) have u encountered situations where the user has launched the local EXE via WinExplorer and then launched the GenLoader VBS via a desktop icon?
thanks in advance....
