Hi, John:
There is a free tool called "Install Aid" from Bug Busters Software
Engineering, Inc. -- the developers of Remote Software Facility (RSF) --
see:
http://www.bugbusters.net/download.htm/#installaid
This free tool can upload a save file from a Windows PC to OS/400 (or
IBM i) and "install" automatically "in one step" -- you can also add
your own program named RSFINST to your save file and it can be called
automatically by "Install Aid" -- sort of like a LODRUN for "save files."
NOTE: you need to refer to the documentation for RSF to learn how to
write and use an RSFINST program, and then you can use "Install Aid"
without actually purchasing a license for RSF or even installing RSF on
your OS/400 or IBM i systems.
Hope that helps,
Mark S. Waterbury

For program installs in the Windows world, I have the ability to create an
install package (single program that contains executables and zipped
data/files) or even just a self-extracting zip file. This allows the
installer to download one "program" and run it and everything is installed.
I am looking for a way to do this on the iSeries to eliminate downloading
both a SAVF and an install program.
Does any such thing exist?
