While I could send DHTML, I think we all agree that RR would give a much better experience to the end user and frankly, would be much easier on me. So, is there some way to launch a stand-alone from a web page? I know I can "start using" a stack from a URL so I'd only need a stand-alone to get the process going. I think his concerns are:
1) The "java version problem." A lot of his users have their own programs (by the way, we're talking about 500 connected users) that use one version of java or another and if they upgrade it to be able to use my code, it will break the applications they already have (by the way, I have no intention of doing this in java - I'd rather loose the contract).
2) If changes need to be made, he doesn't want to have to go to 500 machines and install something.
With my own stand-alone, I wouldn't have to worry about versioning problems since I would know when it changed. I could also check for a new version of the stand-alone every time I start it up and get the new version. Since my stand-alone would really do nothing more than download a stack (with the REAL program on it), I doubt that I would need to change it that often (the stacks on the other hand are a different matter but since I can refer to a URL, he'd be ok with that. It's just that I'm not sure how to get the stand-alone on the user machine without looking like I'm installing something.
