At my last job I had a challenge to help end users configure home computers without direct MIS department support, I needed a way to help them indirectly with a single click. This was addressed by building a single install file with most of the needed Internet Explorer settings for the companies EHR system at the time called MyEvolv by Netsmart.

I already built the auto installer that configured and built the original deployment of 275+ Microsoft Surface tablets for the agency, all I needed to do was make a simple modification and package it into a single exe file. I learned some neat tricks working with scripts, bat files and 7 Zip that let me build such a package. I then had the file on the agency web server so the end users could download the file at home and try to use the EHR system. This was a best effort only because every home computer is different and the support team could not help every person with a home PC.

This EXE can actually be un-zipped and you can view the details of my bat files and script. Click here to download a copy of my auto config file.
