Application Sharing

[madcitysw]

I was if anyone here knows how to create application via the windows file sharing without having to load the required dlls and etc on the client computer. I was thinking that maybe it possible to edit the registry too add those dlls and have them link to the server that holding the applications? When I try opening a application on the client side, I always get a missing dll or something for that application.

Do you mean things like a game, or something like that? Can you reply with more information on what your problem is?

Explain a little bit more clearer please.

Well, I like to format my computer after month or so to keep things running smoother. I just getting tried of having to re-install my applications, so I wanted to installed them on a server and run them on the server side instead of the client side. What I was saying is that when you try opening a application on the client side, it reports that it missing required dlls that it needs to run (which is on the server), so I was wondering if anyone have tryed something without having to use Windows Server 2003 instead.

The idea is that you can put all the required files on a remote machine and run the app/game from a launcher on the user machine, Kevin.
Won't work for the majority, madcity. Only if the app is able to operate that way. Most stuff references the host machine directly for required files.
Maybe some could work by hacking the registry, or changing paths etc, but imaging is far simpler, and certain to work.
