You might want to take a look at a little tool we use for our wide-spread
clients. It saves us tons of time and effort once it's set up. It won't
save you the time of initially setting things up on your users' computers,
but once they are, updates are invisible to the user.

Stanley,
Have you considered Group Policies?
If all your "local computers" are part of a domain, you can use a Group
Policy to deploy the executable to computers within the domain.
The following link may be a good starting point. http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;302430
I would consider assigning the package for the Windows Service in the Group
Policy to machines...
Hope this helps

Thanks for replies! But my network is not in domain! It's just a simple
network with 10 PCs! I have found some clue is to use MSIEXEC, but I
don't how to execute that command in remote computer!! Any idea??

I sure hope not. Think of the security issues. i.e. your computer
connected to the internet and someone remote installs a windows service
to your pc!

Stanley,
As Rinze suggests, executing a command on a remote computer can be a
security risk. I'm not aware of the commands to execute a command on a
remote computer, although I suspect there might (might) be one.
Are your computers setup for Remote Desktop? Can they be? http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/u...y/default.mspx
I would consider setting them up for Remote Desktop then remote in to each
machine & deploy the setup package. This at least saves you from walking to
all 10 machines. Of course you may need to walk to all 10 machines first to
setup Remote Desktop, however you should save time & effort on future
deployments...
Hope this helps

Thanks for reply! I don't really care about security issue from the
Internet, just because I have Router as my firewall. I have seem some
software that can't deploy their clients easily, like Norton AntiVirus
Corporate and WebRoot Spy Sweeper etc! They're so cool! I just want do
that!! :) Hope you'll help me!
Stanley,
As I stated I don't know what the execute remote commands in Windows are,
much less if there are any. A quick search of MSDN is not showing anything
specifically useful...
I would normally create a Windows Service that I install on the other
computer that executed the commands I needed, in a "secure" fashion via
MSMQ, .NET Remoting, DCOM, TCP Sockets or similiar. If the normal services
available are usable (such as Group Policy in your case).
You may want to ask "down the hall" in one of the Win32 developers group,
one of microsoft.publi c.win32.program mer.*
Once you have the API, then you can P/Invoke (VB Declare statement) to use
it.
Hope this helps

I have to connect with my Windows 2000 server using VS.NET 2003 and C# and

Hello all,
I'm in the middle of setting up a windows 2003 server for asp.net
(with vb.net 2003) remote development/deployment.
The problem is that as soon as I install service pack 1 on windows
2003 I can no longer remotely develop asp.net apps with vs.net 2003. I
have set-up servers with all the patches except service pack 1 and
they work fine but as soon as I install service pack 1 it breaks the
