Apps slow to launch from Network Location

Applications developed using Framework 2.0 and installed on a network
location take a considerable amount of time to launch. This was never the
case with prior Framework versions.

For example, an application can take almost a minute just to display the
Splash screen. Not an issue when executable is stored on the local machine,
but due to the number of users we like to install all of our applications on
the network.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks.

Read up on Click Once deployment. You deploy to the server. The user dynamically
pulls down updates from the server and executes them from their local computer.
There may be an initial delay, but the remainder should be fully compiled.

I'll look into the ClickOnce, but why is this an issue with Framework 2 and
not with prior versions?

Thanks

I have been developing web-based applications for around 3 years, first using ASP, and more recently, ASP.NET. I am starting to wonder if web applications are really the way forward for software. And by 'software' I mean applications, (eg. word, excel) not web sites (eg. amazon.com). I am starting to think, with the .NET framework being shipped with new operating systems, and freely available online, that a better way forward is...

Hi There, I'm trying to migrate a locally hosted page from windows to a private Ubuntu development server and one of the key bits of functionality (which used to work fine in Windows) was the ability for the page to start a file browser via PHP's exec() function. I can't get this working under Ubuntu though e.g. <?php exec('nautilus /var/www'); ?>
