Richard's Programming Corner- INOCULAN UPDATE V1

INOCULAN UPDATE V1.X (NO LONGER AVAILABLE ... PLEASE USE IUV3)

CAI created a nice way of downloading the updates and distributing the client updates for NT but they forgot to do so for the Netware environment.

They gave us GETBBS.NLM that does a modem dialup to their FTP site. So you must be familiar with NIAS and dialup scripting. Also this becomes a long distance (a little expensive!).

This program will run on a Win9X/NT/2K computer with a connection to the internet and get those 2 or more files for you, unzip them into the server's, restart them (Inoculan that is) and update the clients automatically next time they login.

~~INOCULAN UPDATE V1~~

Update

INOCULAN.ZIP

All you have to do is setup the AVUPDATE.EXE/AVUPDATE.INI so next time your users login they will get the latest updates.

Minimum configuration for the AVUPDATE.INI

[CA InoculateIT 95]
Download=HOMEDIR\download\95
SetupPath=HOMEDIR\download\95\disk1
ExcludeDOSManager=Yes
Run=AVUP95LD.EXE

Basically create a DIR in

SYS:\INOCULAN\DOWNLOAD SYS:\INOCULAN\DOWNLOAD\95 SYS:\INOCULAN\DOWNLOAD\95\DISK1

In the SYS:\INOCULAN\DOWNLOAD\95\DISK1 directory place the InoculateIT client for Win9X in there. The AVUPDATE.EXE will automatically install it if it is not found on the users station.

REMINDER:

If you are running any other anti-virus software including the older version of "CHEYENNE WIN 95" you must uninstall it.

If your login script add the following lines.

MAP F:=SYS:\INOCULAN (if not already mapped)

#F:\INOCULAN\AVUPDATE.EXE
