We have an application that is basically just an Access database, ini file and shortcut that are saved to the local C: drive. The database is updated regularly, the end user typically has to copy the updated mde down to the local drive. Trying to make the distribution so that we can just update the thinapp instead of having the end users copy files down.
What I have tried to do is:
- Start a pre-scan
- Create the desired local directory off of the root of C:
- Copy all of the working files to the newly created directory
- Setup the desktop shortcut and then run the post-scan.
- Build the package using the MDE as the entry point
The package builds, the %drive_c% shows the directory and necessary files but not all files are making it to the final build. I'll execute the .exe or .msi on the workstation and the .ini file will be missing or I'll rebuild the package and the mde is not there for some reason.
Has anyone run across anything like this? Any particular tips/gotchas for this type of package creation? On a side note, anyone have any luck thinapping PGP Desktop?
Cheers
