I openly admit being in new territory here and I may be thinking way outside the box.
Background: I have a Windows Store App that is proprietary and we don't want it published in the Microsoft Store. I am making the initial installation as we buy equipment and disperse to the employees. What I am trying to figure
out is how to disperse the app when there are modifications. The app was created is Visual Studio 2013. When the project is compiled for dispersal and install, it has a structure like this: Single Folder with a Powerscript file, a certificate,
and a couple of folders with other compiled elements. If you run the powerscipt, it installs the update to the APP.
I am seeing articles about ASP.net running powerscript files but they are not clear if they only execute on server side or if they can be run on client side.
My app is already interacting with our web server to download dictionary files and upload records. My web pages are ASP.net with Visual Basic code. Want to explore if I could create a button in my app that opens a Web Page and then closes the
app (so not live for the install). The webpage can either download the files with powerscript and then execute the code on the client PC. Or execute the powerscript on the server from the web page to direct the install on the client PC.
I can see this as possible based on web prompts for installing add-ins, ect when users hit a webpage. But not sure with regards to powerscripts.
Anyone with experience in this that can provide some direction would be appreciated.
