An Application starter (with auto copy from server into local station).

[alisaif]

Hi,

Please refer to the subject. I generated "GsStart.exe" as per the thread faq184-4492. My app name is Packg.exe, but when I compile it is showing Files access is denied.

Please suggest.

Thanks

Saif

Possibly because one of the compoenents is open somewhere else. Or because one of the files is read-only. Or serveral other possibilities.

It would help to know which file the message is referring to, and at which point in the process the message appears.

Thanks for the reply! I checked in Task Manager. It is always GsStart.exe and not Packg.exe.

Please reply

You can't build a project into a new EXE, if that EXE is still started.

Besides an application starter with autocopy from server to local can be as simple as

Robocopy.exe \\networkshare\appupdates\yourapp\*.* c:\yourapps\yourapp\ /MIR /SEC /SECFIX >NUL
c:
cd \yourapps\yourapp
start /b yourapp.exe

Stored as a cmd file the users start instead of starting yourapp.exe

Bye, Olaf.
