We have an application running as a RemoteApp on a 2008 RDP server. What is the proper way to push new versions of the app?
We don't currently have an msi for it, but we could make one.
Right now we just copy over the files, but that doesn't seem to be an ideal solution.
I'm afraid you might run into problems if there are registry files and expectations of different Windows system libraries involved. Thus I don't think you'll be highly successful in packaging in this way.
Why can't you get the *.msi file or install from the vendor? I hope you are acting ethically with respect to the restrictions on the programming from the vendor.
