Bill,

> Where or how can I add an "Auto Close" to my application?

As far as I know, here is a template in Clarion that handles it for you. It
processes the "gently close" event.

Friedrich,

>SetupBuilder Remote Deploy lets you do mass remote installations in

what is the differnce to running a SetupBuilder installer in silent mode?

This is what I do at the moment:

I have one huge installer to deploy a project, consisting of a SOAP-Server, a
Windows-client and a data-folder, all on one machine on the LAN (the server).
This tool runs on Hospital-LANs, likely disconnected from the Internet.
That client-program is meant to be accessible to the client-machines via
Desktop.LNK. That means, that the client-program will be updated with the next
huge installer. None of the client-machines are involved. The usual
approach.

However, this client-program might be run on machine outside the LAN even over
the Internet. That means, those external Client-machines are out of tune after
the next huge deployment. My solution so far is to make the Client always the
Server ask for the recent version-number at program start. If there is a new
one, the client signals the user with a MESSAGE(), that an update is in
waiting. It then downloads a ZIP-file from the local server, extracts it and
then CHAIN()s a self-written Clarion-program, that replaces the old client with
the new one. This is actually unzipping a second ZIP, which replaces the
existing files. Finally CHAIN()s the new Client and all is good. I have
deployed 7zip for this process.

My advantage is, that the Client-program does not need an installation. There
is an installer, but it also could be done just by copying directory manually.
Therefore just an automated replacement by my own hidden installer does the
job.

My plan for the xmas-holidays was to replace that ZIP-stuff with a silent
SetupBuilder installation. At least I understood from one of your postings that
this sould be possible to achieve with the existing version. That would do the
same, but I could forgo the use of 7zip.

So..... what is the difference between such a silent SB-installer now and this
new whizkid?

Asks the other Wolfgang

Hi Friedrich

Glad to report that the new Remote Deploy technology of Lindersoft is
working FUNtastically great.

Done numerous tests without any glitches or issues. Friedrich is
progressively deploying more features within this technology, like
retrieving information of the "Workstation" computers, so that you can
determine if the "Workstation" meets or exceeds the requirement
specifications before installation etc.

It is just AWESOME to see several computers all of a sudden having a
short-cut to your application appear on the desktop.
It is also just as easy to remove an application from a Workstation.

Thanks to Friedrich for allowing me to have a say and be part
Lindersoft's Remote Deploying technology.

I cannot wait for the final product.
