I have a solution that runs on my Servoy server and will be accessed via the Servoy Client by users from many different computers running both Windows and OS X. I would like a more bullet-proof method for getting something on the client's desktop that is named what I want and has an icon of my choosing and launches only one of my server's many solutions.
The procedure in the past for setting up a client computer has been:
1. Navigate the web browser to the URL of the Servoy server.
2. Click the 'Launch Servoy Client' button.
3. Hope that a file gets made on the user's desktop.
4. Pray that the user answers "Yes" or "Allow" or "I Trust You, Servoy" to all the security warnings.
What I would like to have happen is:
1. Navigate to a page on my website with a link to download an installer file.
2. User runs installer, can choose to override OS specific default file location (/Program Files or /Application).
3. Start menu items created and/or shortcuts placed on desktop.
4. File on desktop has easy-to-understand name and has my icon, regardless of OS.
I like the look-and-feel of the Servoy application installer and the it2be Tools installer, but not enough to spend thousands of dollars on an installer creator. Any suggestions?
