Software
I have recently been asked by my employer to find a software package that will move applications from a shared server environment to a local environment. Does anyone know of software that will allow moving of one or more applications without copyingover the whole drive?
Thanks.
I am not sure of your network environment; however, there are a number of solutions to this issue.
Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) is one tool that can be used to manage software applications from servers for access and installation on clients. Applications are sent as packages to the the client, and can be set to execute automatically or at a preset time by the administrator. Usually, no user input is required, except to execute the package.
LAN Util32 Suite by Vector-Networks is a software distribution application that allows you to provide a secure environment on user's PCs for executing native package installations.
WiredRed Software has the epop 3.0 Remote Control application sharing software that allows similaraccess to sharing sessions.
Enjoy,

Very few applications can be moved from one machine to another once they are installed, especially applications that throw out *.dll files onto the drive during the installation process. I have manually copied some applications in this manner with success, but generally I will get error messages that the application is looking for a specific file. If you can find the file and copy it over and place it in the correct location, you can usually get the application running. I am not aware of any program or application that can copy over previously installed applications from one drive to another in the manner you are suggesting.
The only product that possibly comes close would be Symantec Ghost, which copies over whole partitions or drivesfrom one drive to another.
