Question:

We would like to implement a system that would permit a number of users to download via the browser a compiled WinBatch script to their local PCs. Can we imbed some WinBatch into the HTML page to do this? Our experiment thus far has been a three-step process: users click on a web page link that is a compiled WinBatch script called setup.exe which the users must save locally. Then they run the setup.exe to set up a new file extension for the browser. The third step is to click on the installation web page link which uses the new file extension to invoke a second WinBatch script to copy the compiled WinBatch script. Is there an easier way to do this?

Answer:

  1. Make a WBC Runner script ala
    	;WBC RUNNER
    	Call(param1,"")
    
  2. Compile it and define it as a viewer on the workstations.

    Then all you have to do is add WBC files to the web page. When they click on it, it gets passed off to the runner and runs.

  3. Use short file names only.
