No antivirus at all or you just disabled it for the install?

To run install files or zip, there is not difference with wired or wireless networks.

You need to have all PCs:

1) on the same IP network (ex 192.168.1.xxx)


Yep.

2) be part of the same workgroup / domain


Same workgroup.

3) Share the folder


Yep. I can access the folder on the "remote" machine and open zip files.

4) Set up File / Printer sharing access thru the software filewalls


Firewall is off on remote machine. Using Zone Alarm on the "main - server?" but have put the remote machines IP address in the trusted zone

5) Check and configure anti-virus Internet worm modules to let NetBIOS name resolution for your network (LAN.)


No anti-virus running.

s this simply not possible over a Windows XP LAN?

I have a wireless network in my home with one remote computer. I have shared a folder containing installation files. Some are zip files, others are executables. I want to install software on the remote machine by opening shared .exe installation files, but when I try to Open them, nothing happens. I can see why this might be considered a security risk, but is there a way to tell Windows XP to open them anyway? (I have already disabled the firewall.)

TIA,
Chuck
