hello everyone, i need help to distribute files in a networking environment.
scenario: everyone in the office has their own id & profiles, there's a file that everyone uses but it's too slow to load from a network drive. so what i'm thinking is 1 person will update the file regularly, zip it & create a self extractor and mail to everyone; the recipients clicks on the .exe file and their copy is overwritten with the latest.
method: i've tried to use winzip's self extractor to force select location.
problem: i'm hoping to extract to everyone's desktop for convenience and my hangup is when i indicate default unzip location = "c:\documents and settings\abc.123\desktop\" is there some sort of variable to replace the abc.123? sort of like $currentUser$ or something like that? and no i can't put it into the root directory bcoz of the network security.
thanks in advance people, have a nice day.
