Zero touch deployment - how to launch app?

[Sander Pilon]

Hi,

I've succesfully made a smart-client that can be accessed over an url.
(http://someserver/app.exe) Now I want to deploy it in the company, but
there remains a small issue about the launch process.

The first problem is that if I create an internet shortcut, a browser window
is opened before the application launches - not pretty.

The second problem is that I'd really like to distribute a shortcut with a
nice icon, not the default icon.

Does anyone have solutions for these problems?

Regards,

Sander

I'm aware of this solution. Unfortunately, it aint good enough.

The whole point of the zero touch deployment scenario is that you don't have
to roll out an installer on thousands of computers where poeple work that do
not have any administrative rights.

Or is it possible to create an .msi that anyone (and I mean everyone without
any administrative rights) can run and get a launcher app on his/her
desktop?

If your shop has SMS, you can create a package->adevertize->deploy. SMS
will take care of security context.

Hope it helps/Radu Borcau
