Pre login installation

Hi All,

I want to implement the prelogin installation of the software.

I planned to do the thing as

1) firstly download the required software to install onto the client machine
2) pick up the software to install from the directory where i downloaded it.
3) run it just befor the log in screen appear.

I somehow managed step 1) and 2).I am sure.. I have to make use of Win32 API to carry out the third step.. but how to implement it ?

I inferred from self study that I have to create the process just before the desktop load.. I need to capture logon event.. How can I Do that..?

Can anybody help me ..?

Are you talking about the Logon event of the Windows Operating System or the
Windows Application?

Hi, i don't know any way to run the process before user logs in but you can run the process just after user logs onto the system,

just copy your process to "startup" folder in windows
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. C:\Documents and Settings\{UserName}\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
  2.  
{UserName} is the loginname of the user
