Running windows app without user intervention

Hi,

We're looking at deploying a report card app I wrote to about 30 elementary school teachers who have been given ChromeBooks by a grant.  A few questions:

Can Cameyo handle running this single exe in a browser?

The exe communicates with a locally deployed SQL Server via DSN - still ok?

Last - can it be configured so that, when a user goes to the target URL, the app launches automatically without any other user intervention?  If there are authentication parameters can they be passed as URL variables?  The app itself requires a valid login so we don't want them to have to login twice.

 

Jeff

Running the single EXE in a browser: yes. Upload it via online.cameyo.com/submit

Locally-deployed SQL server: is it part of your Cameyo packageor do you pre-install your SQL system on target systems? And if so, does your Cameyo package as it is work on clean machines? The rule of thumb is: if your standalone Cameyo package works on a clean computer, it should work from the browser as well.

With regards to authentication, just set your application's sharing to Unlisted, and send out the .../play URL to your users

Having some troubles. First the link you referenced online.cameyo.com/submit gives a 404 error.

Second, it looks like the packager wants me to run an installation package but we don't have one of those for this app - it's just a single exe with no true client install - we just point the shortcut to the exe. How do I create a package without using an installer??

It's still possible; you just need to copy your executable to the disk (after pre-snapshot) and then create a shortcut pointing to it somewhere on the disk. Only then take a snapshot.
