KiXtart deployment to the client.
Inspiration is from - http://home.wanadoo.nl/scripting/ (KIXnnnUPDATE.EXE)

Thanks MCA!

While the KIXnnnUPDATE.EXE is a great deployment tool, I started to see some limitations with it, for example, it ran a lot of uneeded code and was constrained to only one directory. We have a number of clients in our domain that cannot write even to %windir%. This hopefully addresses that issue.

Sure, you can run KIX32.EXE/WKIX32.EXE at the NETLOGON share.

This is using IEXPRESS packager from Microsoft - http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=237803

This was originally talked about at -
Re-Write of the KIX32.EXE Deployment tool

If you are running Windows NT-based system, it copies the following files:
WKIX32.EXE
KIX32.EXE

If you running a Windows 9x System, it adds these files:
kx16.dll
kx32.dll
kx95.dll

The code.. Thanks to "Lonkero" for the code clean-up:
Code:

$tmp='%tmp%\'

$destdir=split('%WINDIR%',':')[0]+':\Scripts\'

IF @KIX="4.02"

 ;KiXtart > 4.02

 $srcdir=@scriptdir

 $msg=left((split(@kix,'.')[0]+split(@kix,'.')[1]),3)

ELSE

;KiXtart >= 4.12

 $srcdir=@scriptdir+'\'

 $msg=LEFT(JOIN(split(@kix,'.'),''),3)

ENDIF



IF 0=Exist($destdir)

 MD $destdir

ENDIF



$ok=$destdir+'kix'+$msg+'.ok'



Del $destdir+'kix*.ok'

$=WRITEPROFILESTRING($ok,'General','System',@producttype) 

$=WRITEPROFILESTRING($ok,'General','KIX',@kix) 

$=WRITEPROFILESTRING($ok,'General','Destination',$destdir) 

 

$FilesToCopy='kix32.exe wkix32.exe'

IF @inwin=2

 $FilesToCopy=$FilesToCopy+' kx16.dll kx32.dll kx95.dll'

ENDIF

 

FOR EACH $ IN Split($FilesToCopy)

; $=WRITEPROFILESTRING($ok,split($,'.')[0],'KIX',COPYKIX($srcdir+$,$destdir+$))

 $=WRITEPROFILESTRING($ok,split($,'.')[0],$,COPYKIX($srcdir+$,$destdir+$))

NEXT



FUNCTION COPYKIX($srcfile,$destfile)

 dim $

 IF Exist($srcfile)

  IF Exist($destfile)

   $=SetFileAttr($destfile,128)

   $copykix=' >replaced'

  ELSE

   $copykix=' >new'

  ENDIF

  IF ''+GetFileSize($srcfile)+GetFileTime($srcfile)+GetFileVersion($srcfile)<>''+GetFileSize($destfile)+GetFileTime($destfile)+GetFileVersion($destfile)

   COPY '$srcfile' $destfile /h

   if @error

    $copykix='failed'

   endif

  ENDIF

 ENDIF

ENDFUNCTION
