Question about deployment of a Winforms app on a server

G

Guest

(Excuse me if this is a duplicate. My previous post appears to have gotten
lost.)

I am currently working in at a company with a fairly large intranet (uses
Active Directory). One of my co-workers is trying to deploy a Winforms
application onto one of the windows servers. The intent is to share the
directory and allow multiple persons to run the exe on the one server.

What are some of the potential problems?

(Just looking for general feedback. I come from a web development background
and my winforms skills are a bit rusty. And yes, the possibility of turning
it into a web app has been discussed.)

It can't be done. The executable file will be locked by the first process
that opens it.
