Re: running an exe

Please send all responses to the list, not to me personally. Thanks. *** Begin e-mail message *** This is only for use on local intranet!! The problem is I want to install the software which comprises of 4 files (setup.exe,setup.w02,setup.w03,setup.w04) from a link on the intrAnet. It works fine on the local machine, but as soon as I try across the network, it obviously wont find the second file to install. Ie. Access the link from a remote machine, and install locally on that remote machine. Is the best way to copy the files locally, or is there a better method?

yes, I would just copy the files locally unless you have a *lot* of updates to do (either often or just a lot of machines). Just not worth the risk IMO... even if it's only an intranet right now, this would be very easy to forget about if / when you start making outside connections.

Blindly installing applications from web links is *a bad idea* and dialog boxes are there to help protect users. Heck from the way you asked your question I'm not even sure - are you the user or the provider?
