No Touch Deployment and passing parameters

[Jim Phelan]

I need to write a program, exe, that's called from a third party
application. This third party application allows me to configure the name
of the application to be called. When it executes it calls my program
passing it two parameters, absolute file names that contain data I'm to
process.

I configure it to call my program with this string:

http://ServerName/ShareName/Myapp.exe?

In my tests this works fine except when the parameters contain a '\' which
is in the absolute file names. I'm using the following code to get the full
URL used to call my program and parsing it for the parameters should be easy
if I can get to that point.

Dim domain As AppDomain = AppDomain.Curre ntDomain

Dim obj As Object = domain.GetData( "APP_LAUNCH_URL ")

Any help or insights are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Jim
