In googling about this, I have seen vague references to the fact that manipulation of a file on a When launched it would change the directory to the server directory location, and then execute the installation file, and then close. My thinking is that since this file will be an executable, the user will not be able to see the path to the redistributable. Hope is a simple console application in VB on Visual Studio 2012 Express for Desktop. I want to control the redistribution by having user register before giving them the ability to launch the redistributable installation file.
