Mystery installer file

Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer

Posted: 6 Nov 2002

Q:
Anybody know what this file is for?

\\sys\apache\ifolder\DocumentRoot\download.html

Nothing seems to reference it. Is it a scripted (silent) install of the client?



A:
It's not a silent installer, but an automated Active-X-driven one. It allows the client to be "pushed" to a machine instead of asking the user to download and install it manually.

However, "push" is a loose term here, as the user could still not accept the Active-X control, and botch the install.
