RE: FLASH: Flash Player for DOS

[Jason Bouwmeester]

It's more for an interm solution. We are currently reworking about 125

kiosks for a client, their current service contract is expiring very soon

and sooner than we will be done. Rather than having dead kiosks in the

stores, they wish to at least have some sort of looping multimedia

anything... but there is one problem. The versions of win95 they are running

have been exe disabled, meaning exe files will not at all execute on them.

Because of the locations of the kiosks and the manhours involved in even the

smallest change to the kiosks, they are looking for a simple "insert cd and

walk away cuz it's working" solution. Basicaly it has to be an idiot proof

install/run of the cd/presentation.


Hope that made sense...

Jason

I guess you got the answer from the other folks.... ;-)


But I'm curious: what type of situation are you in where this would be

useful? Are you perhaps designing for some portable device of some type, or

some installation where a full-blown operating system is not appropriate?


(Context: There's a big thrust here at the shop in getting the Flash Player

to emerging devices, so I'm very curious about what types of situations

you're seeing in your daily work, thanks in advance.)
