ClientSetup (OpenInsight 32-bit)

Instead of having to run clientsetup.exe on each workstation, I seem to remember there is some' script' that can can be setup that each workstation auto runs that will do the same thing. Can someone point me to it.?
If so, does this install each time it runs, i.e. if there is an OI upgrade that requires ClientSetup to be run, will this do it regardless or is there some param that would have to be reset?. As you can probable tell this is not in my field of expertise.

Thanks Andrew,
That looks a much better method. Do I assume then this is what you use and recommended procedure?

Well it's the Rev recommended way. We tend to support other developers so have to deal with the installation hassles less. Server pushes are the way to go, since that ensures the update happens once and only once.

One problem with this method is most users don't have administrator rights on their machine to install software and register controls. So scripting clientsetup.exe to run at start-up only works if you have the administrator do it as part of your workstation setup or after and OpenInsight upgrade.
Pushing the install from the server works regardless if the local users permission level.
