Hi Scott,
I’ll say “me too” – we’ve had the same issue. First time you launch the app for a user, it seems to take a long time and there’s no visible indicator to the user that anything is happening. Sometimes we’ve had users try to launch twice, and then we get weird errors about “file already exists”.
We have our libraries etc setup in the firstruninstall folder for the app, but we also make sure that it can handle it’s own update the first time the app launches. For example, if you add a new user to the machine after a long period of time (and a few updates!) you want to make sure that your libs in the firstruninstall can be updated automatically without falling in a heap. For our system, we have “LAN Updates” folder on the client’s server, and the app can check the contents of the folder and install updates before proceeding.
Hope this helps!
Regards,
paul.

The doctor calmly responded, “Now, settle down. You’ll just have to be a little patient.”
