I just finished writing a macro that needs to be set up on approximately 100 employees computers, and unfortunately its not just the macro...its also the mainframe session and directory that will need to be set up on each computer. I can install it manually quite easily, but I'm not real anxious to sit down at 100 workstations and manually do it. Can someone show me code for an installer program that will automatically set each users computer up when they run it? Here's what needs to happen:
1)Install the macro itself to C:\program files\attachmate\e!e2k\macros\automation.ebm
2)Build a mainframe session that connects to the correct server saved to c:\program files\attachmate\e!e2k\sessions\OESOTS.edp. I've saved an appropriate session onto a network drive for users, so all that needs to happen is open G:\automation\OESOTS.edp and then Save it as c:\program files\attachmate\e!e2k\sessions\OESOTS.edp.
3)Create a folder for the interface files users will be using located at C:\interfaces\
4)Put a shortcut on the desktop pointing to the OESOTS.edp session.
I'd like to set it up as an exe file that just installs those 4 components...that way all I need to do is send a memo out with a link to the installer on our network drive and each user can install their own without me having to pull out whats left of my hair. Is that do-able?
