A Problem

[Cbomb]

My school needs to install some software from the main district server. I have little idea how to do the following things:

1. Remove a piece of software (Norton Anti-virus 2000) - Like the way you can from Add/Remove Progs

2. Allow for a reset somehow.

3. Then open and heavily interact with IE. I need to fill in a password box (not a pop up), then fill out an ASP form and submit...then execute a link on a page.

4. Allow for another reset

5. End program

As you can see this is a pretty wide array of things it has to do. I have no leads on how to do this. So any tips/code/links would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Some comments

1. I'd hate to have to write something like that in a one man shop.

2. pcAnywhere is probably your most cost-effective approach if you
have an NT Win9X mix on the network.

3. Terminal Server in an all Windows-2000 network will let you do this
It comes with 2000. Talk your boss into going to W2K.

4. Writing CODE like this will take you longer (by a factor of about 20) to write than walking/driving to each location and installing.
Does your boss want to pay you for that? prb'ly not. You'd rather do the code I'm sure.
