Anybody near enough to do a day or two of work?
Requires installing a program & checking for correct
operation.

Does the computer have internet?
Could it be done by remote control?

Yes, and no.
Remember, these are people who are having trouble copying an exe to the C:
drive and getting it to run. Asking them to set up remote desktop - well,
I don't want to even think about it.

They don't have to setup remote desktop. That was my point.
Try out UHelpMe which is listed at my website.
http://www.unkmar.com/ You will need to call me.

Maybe using something like UltraVNC Single Click could help. Nothing
can be easiest than open a remote access clicking in a single
executable. I do it all the time.
Best,

That is what my UHelpMe program is built upon. It is the usual
result of my projects. At least 3 languages to accomplish the work.

Confirmed.
They only need an instruction on how to fetch and communicate their server name,
and not forget to set a password. Indeed, they have nothing else to do beyond
that point. Oh yes, launch and shut down the vnc server...

Nope. UltraVNC SC doesn't work like a regular VNC. It's server
doesn't stay resident -- it's a subset of the regular server thus
much smaller. It terminates itself if connection drops by itself, or
by any side's will. It's action is limited by caller's privileges.
They don't even need to say their actual dynamic IP. OK, they do have
to do a thing: ask for it. ;)
It's as simple as a click. Try it! You'll like it.

For you it's simple.
It's taken a couple of days and several e-mails to get across the idea that
"drop this file in your C: directory" doesn't mean "create a new directory and
move a lot of stuff around..."
Sort of like the irate call I got a few years ago: client was fuming "Your
program BROKE! Come fix it!"
After a lot of conversation, I found out it had worked up until she "cleaned up
a lot of junk I never use" (her words).
Like what? "Oh, customer.dat, invoices.dat, stuff like that I never look at"

Good story. We spend a lot of time protecting user's from themselves. It's
sort of the job description. Otherwise, why spend a week writing code for
something we could do manually in 15 minutes?
It does get frustrating when the client (with nothing but the best of
intentions I'm sure) blames you for something they did. Part of the game.
Where is that anykey, any way?

This is so true. There are hidden places though a user wouldn't normally go
to that you can use for dat files. You can put in "Application Data". It's
location is found by using the App_Data key in the registry somewhere and is
inside the user's "home" directory. It is a good idea to keep the data files
hidden this way. I suppose this is why we have hidden directories in WINDOWS.

I don't recall DOS having a registry.

Alright, I made an assumption. Looks like there are users that use only DOS.

That was not recent - I've been programming probably longer than you've been
alive :)
Unfortunately, users haven't grown smarter. Dumber, if anything, now that they
have gotten into the habit of just clicking OK on everything they see.
