I work for an electrical distributor and this weekend we upgraded our software with a new point upgrade. This software now uses a java program interface that gets broken when we do upgrades. We have to go into Java and delete the temporary internet files and include installed applications and applets and then run a program on our server to reinstall our software on every single machine in the company. After doing this 65 times this weekend it got me to thinking. I took a VB class a couple of semester ago and I figured I could make a small program to do this with one click that could be installed on every machine and run by the users. Is that possible?
Here are the steps I did:
Control Panel -> Java -> (General Tab, Temporary Internet Files) Settings -> Delete Files -> (click the
Installed Applications and Applets check box) Ok (This removes the java program we use.)
Next I open IE and type: http://172.22.34.100:2080 this takes us to a page and we click the Install Solar Eclipse button to install the program on the machine. When I hover over the button it says it is running http://172.22.34.100:2080/SolarInstallService.jnlp.
I have made basic programs but never did anything like this and I was hoping this could be done because it would save many hours of work down the road. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
