updating application in multiple workstations

[ashik]

hi,
i have got a vb6 application running in several workstations. i often need to make changes. and as i make a change, it needs to be updated in all workstations as well. so far i am doing it manually by going to each workstations. just wondering if there is any way to automate the process. i mean something like forcing the application to read from some server to check if it has changed and if it has, update the program automatically or something like that.

any help will be appreciated.

Wokawidget has some code in the Codebank that includes an Auto-Updater that will do what you need.

Welcome to VBF!

You mean it will re-install itself if it has detected that there were changes made?

yeah

If you have access to the Wise installer Program I can show you how to write an auto update script that will do exactly what you are looking to do.

i was able to make changes to woka's code to come up with what i need but when i need to install new exe file to client, do i need to register "olelib.tlb" file in all client computers as well?
