Application problem
-
Hi, I don't know if it's the right forum but it seems to me the most appropriate. I have an application developed in C# (VS 2005) that work fine on Windows XP. The application used the TFTP.exe installed on Windows. now I moved to Vista and discovered that TFTP.exe is not installed by default and some configuration are required. My question is: Is it possible to detect (when application setup is running) that the TFTP.exe is not installed and to install it during the setup of my application (to avoid the user to do this manually)? If yes, how can I do that? Regards, Lune

You could prolly check whether the executable exists. Are you thinking of distributing the TFTP.exe with your application? If it's part of Vista, wouldn't the user need his original installation CD, in order to add the extra features?

No I don't want to distribute the tftp.exe, as you can see in the link http://www.simplehelp.net/2008/09/10/how-to-install-a-tftp-client-in-windows-vista/[^] it's a kind of configuration. I would like to avoid this configuration to the user and so ask if it can be done by software. Thanks

Seems that it's a part of Windows itself. Windows XP would require the user to have his/her installation-media at hand - because your changing the configuration of the Windows-installation. I don't know if Vista has the same requirement. In short; it's not a setting (it's not comparable to the screen-resolution setting) but a feature that may or may not be installed.
