BlueZone Web-to-Host supports the ability to deliver a
single file or multiple files to a specific location on your users’
computers.
You can 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 computers.
For example, you can include a
favorite font file that you want to deliver with BlueZone. Or, you
can deliver the BlueZone compiled help (.CHM)
files to users that do not otherwise have access to the BlueZone HTML
Help website because they do not have internet access.
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.
- Open the DOS command prompt.
- Navigate to the directory where the file that you want
to deliver is located.
- Type the following command. Ensure that you use the proper
location and file name:
C:\My Files>makecab bluezone.chm bluezone.cab
- On the web server, navigate to the site where you want
to include the CAB file. For example:
C:\InetPub\wwwroot\MySite
- Copy the new CAB file into the \cabs folder.
- In the same site directory, open the \template folder and edit the following files:
- Open the default.dst file in any
text editor.
- Add the CAB file name to the list so is is downloaded
to your users.
- Save and close the file.
- Open default.ini in any text editor
and add the following:
[bluezone.cab]
DestDir=C:\Program Files\BlueZone
The bluezone.cab file is downloaded, automatically unpacked, and written to the location
that you specified in DestDir=.
- Save and close the file.
