Kelly and Cook are going through the FEDs to get them to understand the problems of distribution of their program; that's why your input of problems and ideas for how they can "fix" it are so important. Arizona did an automated rollout, but they are a Novell network, and used ZENworks to make images for each of their OS's and then pushed them out....very time consuming. They use W95, W98, and some NT clients.

An industry standard compliant installation program would solve many problems, indeed.

We will not be using the autoit program. If you can use the scriptit's ase.scp that's OK. Joe will be getting the "must install by" deadline from Molly today or tomorrow.

The AppActivate method returns a Boolean value that identifies whether the procedure call is successful. This method changes the focus to the named application or window, but it does not affect whether it is maximized or minimized. Focus moves from the activated application window when the user takes action to change the focus (or closes the window).

In determining which application to activate, the specified title is compared to the title string of each running application. If no exact match exists, any application whose title string begins with title is activated. If an application still cannot be found, any application whose title string ends with title is activated. If more than one instance of the application named by title exists, one instance is arbitrarily activated.
