EZUpdate - Run Updates Network Wide Easily
Given your end users have certain access privileges, or ran as an administrator, this application is designed to allow you to control machines on your network using file structure.
Simply open the host.nrf file as text and edit the location for the hosted directory.
The application runs a designated script to launch multiple msi or what-have-you and upon completion writes back a file locally to the machine to notify that the installation has occurred. This prevents multiple installations. There is no true verification that the installs have taken place, but if you test your script you shouldn't have any issues running house-wide.
It's a simple program, but sure beats the heck out of remoting into all your machines to run an update if you don't have any other system to distribute your fixes/installs/uninstalls.
The code also demonstrates the correct usage file filestreams as to prevent file locks when accessing the same file more than once in your application.
Hope some of you will find it useful
