Yes, it will work, as far as the client OS can access the DLL there. - the DLL is registered with the server OS but not with the client OS. No it won't work. (regfree DLLs are another kettle of fish). - the DLL isn't registered at all, is sitting in the apps dir on the server and is the selfregister kind. Yes it should work. (havn't tried this yet.)

No if using a share(unless something like Regfree COM is used), yes if running in a terminal services session because in the later case everything is loaded and executed on the server.

If they want to run the exe from a file share so they can easily update it, they have to install your software on each client and change the shortcut to point to the exe on the server. This is assuming that only the exe changes from version to version.

Richard, Terry, Isn't Helmut correct? For instance see here for XP http://support.microsoft.com/kb/328459 "For Windows XP Professional-based computers, the maximum number of concurrent network connections that are allowed is 10" Here's the Windows 2000 version http://support.microsoft.com/kb/122920/EN-US/ Mark |
