Re: installing client side proxies

Windows Installer and Active Directory/SMS will do what you want.

Subject: [VBCOM] installing client side proxies

I have always had control over my clients (usually just another server)
when using DCOM.  On my current project, I do not.  We developed a DCOM
Object that will run on a server that hundreds of clients will remote
to.
 I exported a client side proxy that we run locally for testing.  I
would
rather not have to ask hundreds of clients to run the setup file on
their
workstations.  I would like this to be invisible to them.

Is there a way I can 'hide' this or 'install this for them' without
their
knowledge?  Our exe also runs on their workstations and we do monthly
updates.
 I was thinking of adding some script that shells out to the set up
program
and runs it for them.
