Running app on Shared Drive

[c_shah]

I am having a .NET Application. Install the application on a Share
drive
on the network. Any user WHO's machine is connected to network can
access the application by clicking on short cut on his desktop. Now the
application runs on
the local machine, or it runs on the Share Drive?

RE: Running app on Shared Drive

c_shah,

Applications don't run on drives, shared or otherwise.

In this case, the application runs on the user's computer, after the
executable is retrieved over the network from the shared drive.

Of course, the user's machine will also need the .Net framework installed in
order to run the application.

Re: Running app on Shared Drive

If you want to run your application on a server from your local pc you need
software like for example citrix. With this, even old windows 98 pc's can
run new dot net applications. Because the app runs on the server.
