I have used VB in the past to automate installation. Install package on sample machine and run InControl (utility from PCMag) to find out what is set and changed. reproduce in Vb and run during next login by user. However, these days I only have absolute minimum locally installed - OpenOffice is about it. Everything else is on server. If necessary, registry settings and dll's can be copied across and registered automatically. I agree though that it is a problem area, especially if you have a very large number of machines, which I don't. john At 15:17 14/01/04 +0000, you wrote:
Hi
- The final way we found was to form a lunch time "computer club" of keen kids. We organised exciting outings to the various computer suites where they could learn about practical IT by installing pieces of software. They obviously enjoyed it because they always came back!
Yup. I think this may be the way forward. Volunteers!
