I need to distribute an application to multiple desktops from a central server as it runs unreliably as a client server app.
Powerclient was recommended as a solution and it looks promising, so I'm testing it out. I am very new to this.
When I deploy the app, the app delivers to the desktop and I get an icon. I have set up the delivery to merge two ini files into the delivery so that they can be modified locally and not overwritten when the app is deployed (as this is where customization can take place and database connection set up).
The ini files are copied, but not applied in the desktop icon or mentioned in the pb.ini.
If I try and add them manually to the target line of the shortcut the app load fails with a message about not being able to load one of the zipped files.
I'm not sure if I'm even doing this right to get an app that can have the shortcut use two or more ini files and (therefore) two or more settings.
I can add the ini file settings to the pbapp.ini file[shortcut] startmenushortcutpath without it crashing, but it seems to ignore the settings
Is there a detailed example I can look at?
If not does anyone know how to add the ini file to the shortcut or the pb.ini settings locally?
