EZ-catalog: alternative installation
 

Question

The EZ-catalog application is a so called “click once application” and is as such installed within the AppData of a certain user. In some cases this is not possible because for example some users may not use permanent AppData or have a user profile, or it is desired to implement EZ-catalog in an alternative way with (especially) larger environments with multiple users.
 
This often occurs with terminal based or long distance managed environments.
 
Explanation
With every release EZ-base provides a runtime version of EZ-catalog which can be downloaded as a .zip file.
This version can be extracted in a folder on the users system and by running the application EzCatalog.Wpf.exe that is available in this folder, EZ-catalog can from now on be used.
 
The EZ-catalog run-time version can be downloaded on: https://file.ez-base.nl/ezcatalog.zip
 
If desired, system managers can build an own installation-skin around this version of EZ-catalog.
 
 
Points of concern
With every new release of EZ-catalog, the previous version will give an error that an upgrade is necessary. Instantly the old version is unusable.
 
At this point we can only make the run-time version available approximately one hour after publishing a new release.
