Dear developers,
Please check the new version. Here is a summary of changes:
* "Remote Unix / Linux Host" radio button is disabled (but still
there). IMHO it would inform the user that this is not supported.
* Embedded "fusioninventory-agent_windows-i386_2.1.8-2.exe",
"winexe-static-081123" and "PsExec.exe" into the agentWizard
executable. They can be easily replaced by any other executable:
merely need to be aliased as "inst-win.exe", "winexe" and
"psexec.exe" in the "FusionInventory.qrc" resource.
* This version does installation on a remote Windows Host from a
Linux (when executed on a Linux, it can install FusionInventory on
a remote Windows host) without requiring any files other than the
"agentWizard" itself.
As a result, installation tab is removed completely.
Now I am going to implement installation on a remote Windows Host from a
windows.
Any comment, critique or idea is appreciated :)

It seems to me that everybody agrees upon one thing: Remote
UNIX/Linux/MacOSX agent execution/Installation would not be useful. In
fact, this GUI is for Windows based systems.
And I still think than a GUI for installing (meaning: deploying
binaries) a specific software remotely is not a good idea, even for Windows.
Also, remote execution is badly defined: it is calling a remote agent
located on a different host (ssh foo ./fusioninventory-agent), or is it
executing a local agent to inventory a different host (such as we do
currently for printers, and network gears). In the last case, we don't
need a GUI, we need support for this feature first...
Remote execution is done by executing the agent executable installed on
a different host (using winexe or PsExec)
P.S. IMO fusioninventory-agent_windows-i386_2.1.8-2.exe needs a
command-line parameter to set the installation folder.
Regards,
Amir
