Hi Gang

We are running on Windows XP and are running ProEngineer Wildfire 2.
What I want to do is copy my installation of ProEngineer
(c:\ProEngineer\*.*) and place all these files on a network drive.
Then I want to create a batch file or windows command script that
copies all these file to a designers workstation. If I do this will
ProE run properly on the designers workstation? Is there a better way
to do this? Running around to each workstation to install ProE is a
huge pain.

Thanks
Andy

Install the software on your server, then run PTCsetup on each workstation
with the file on the server. You now have 1 installation and all
workstations can access the program. I do this with almost 100 workstations
and laptops. Upgrades to new builds are a snap, just upgrade the server and
everyone now has the latest set of bugs/fixes.

You can make it work by running ptcsetup on each workstation after you copy
the files to it. I just did the same thing this week and was pleased with
the results. I have been installing from cd images stored on the network
for years already which works almost as well.

I tried running everything over the network and it seemed to work fine.
Pro/E could always be run this way but in the olden days they always said
that it was not the "right" way to do it. However, it has been suggested
that you install the help files on the network and each workstation can use
the same files. I have tried this and the reduction in installation time
alone is worth this option.

Make a custom CD using the install option and select just the options
you want and copy it to a network directory. Pick a standard
workstation and generate a PTC.Setup trail file using setup.exe -uilog
and then creat a batch file to run setup.exe -uitrail <name of trail
file>. Have everyone one run the batch file and you're done.

Its all in the Installation and Administration Guide.
