If you're putting OnCall on a file share, you install the client application from our web site as you would for a standalone user.

You need to create a small text file in the folder where you put the application. The file needs to be called oncall.cfg and for starters, you can simply put the word "hello" or any other letter, word or note into the file.

When someone launches OnCall, the software looks for the oncall.cfg file in the same folder where the OnCall.exe file resides. If the file is there, OnCall assumes it's running from a shared network application server. Normally, OnCall puts its scratch files in the same folder where the software is installed. In the network installation, OnCall puts the scratch files in each user's TEMP folder.
