Allowing Students to Run exe as part of their programming course. Solution needed

[synaesthesia]

Quite possible. As said, I used nlite to take out everything unnecessary. Left anything in that may be useful to the users (net framework etc) but removed anything that would otherwise be taking space and resources - games, media players, media centres, admin tools that would serve no purpose, control panel bits that wouldnt ever get used. Probably got it down to around starter levels too, just takes a bit of time to get that initial image setup just right.

Thanks for all your replies.

 

Has anyone come up with a new solution to this problem?

 

All students need to be able to run exe from this September for using small basic.

 

Help very much appreciated

I've recently come up with a Hyper-V based solution for this if you've a spare host and would like any more details.

If you don't have the hardware present, the virtualbox solution works well for this. Smallbasic is included in our virtualbox image.
