Overview
Deploying a setup on a local area network (LAN) involves installing and updating a WINDEV application via a reference server,. This server can simply be a shared directory.
Only the reference version of the application is installed on the server. The reference version is the one that end users will launch.
To install the application for the first time, the user will launch the installation program located on the reference server.
How to?

Creating a setup on a local area network (LAN)

To create a setup via an HTTP access:
  1. Create the application executable: click in the quick access buttons.
  2. Start creating the setup procedure: on the "Project" tab, in the "Generation" group, expand "Setup procedure" and select "Create setup procedure".
  3. In the wizard, click "2 - Setup" and select "Access the setup options".
  4. Choose "Setup with automatic update (Live Update)" and select "Local network (LAN) setup, "Push" enabled".
  5. Follow the different steps of the wizard and confirm. For more details, see Setup wizard: Steps for creating a WINDEV application setup program.
The setup program obtained at the end of the wizard includes two setups:
  • the setup of the reference application. The reference application must be installed on the network (in a shared directory or on a server for example), accessible to all the end users of the application.
  • the application setup itself. This setup is included in the reference application. It can be accessed once the reference application is installed.
The diagram below presents the setup mode of an application that uses a local HFSQL Classic database, with a network update.
Setup with update over the network
The version of the reference application is automatically checked each time the end user starts the application. If this version has changed (e.g., if the reference version has been updated), an update of the final application is automatically proposed.
