BlueZone Web-to-Host supports the ability to deliver a single file or multiple files to a specific location on your users’
machines.
This feature can be used by the BlueZone administrator to deliver virtually any type of file, such as MSI packages, help files,
fonts, web controls, and so on, to a location that you specify on the user's machine.
For example, you can have a favorite font file that you would like to deliver along with BlueZone. Another application is
to deliver BlueZone compiled help (.CHM) files to users that do not otherwise have access to the BlueZone HTML Help website because they don't have internet access.
This is accomplished by creating a CAB file that contains the desired file or files that you want to download, placing the
CAB file in the BlueZone directory on the web server, adding the name of the CAB file to the distribution file, and then modifying
the default.ini file to include the name of the CAB file.
Making a CAB file is fairly simple. All Windows 2000 and XP Professional operating systems are shipped with the makecab.exe utility from Microsoft.
Configuration method: Manual configuration
Feature scope: Site-level feature
This example is going to CAB the bluezone.chm file. To make this procedure work for you, substitute the file you want to download for bluezone.chm.
