[Fusioninventory-devel] FuisionInventory Agent GUI

[Amir Pakdel]

Dear developers,

Please check the new version. Here is a summary of changes:

    * "Remote Unix / Linux Host" radio button is disabled (but still
      there). IMHO it would inform the user that this is not supported.
    * Embedded "fusioninventory-agent_windows-i386_2.1.8-2.exe",
      "winexe-static-081123" and "PsExec.exe" into the agentWizard
      executable. They can be easily replaced by any other executable:
      merely need to be aliased as "inst-win.exe", "winexe" and
      "psexec.exe" in the "FusionInventory.qrc" resource.
    * This version does installation on a remote Windows Host from a
      Linux (when executed on a Linux, it can install FusionInventory on
      a remote Windows host) without requiring any files other than the
      "agentWizard" itself.

As a result, installation tab is removed completely.
Now I am going to implement installation on a remote Windows Host from a 
windows.

Any comment, critique or idea is appreciated :)

Remote execution is done by executing the agent executable installed on 
a different host (using winexe or PsExec)

P.S. IMO fusioninventory-agent_windows-i386_2.1.8-2.exe needs a 
command-line parameter to set the installation folder.

Amir
