Question

I’ve created a product with an internal flash drive and I want to allow it to download a directory structure from my web site when inserted into a computer with minimal user interaction. My question is, what sort of technology can accomplish this?

Answer 1

1. use windows embedded in your internal flash to have minimal windows OS
   with all mandatories binaries

   1. Use WebClient class to download your directory structure from your website file by file

      using System.Net;

      WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
      webClient.DownloadFile(“http://mysite.com/myfile.txt”, @”c:\myfile.txt”);

   2. this could be a windows service (auto start) that check if directory exists if not it download your directory structure. Be carefull you have to detect the drive given by computer to make a local copy (F: or …)
