Anyone else had weirdness when installing LDT via GPO, then logging on with
a roaming profile account? I've found that the Support paths aren't complete
half the time, some stuff gets pulled from the Default User profile path,
some menu files are missing.

I've found workarounds by copying the required folders from other
installations, but it's quite odd. Any ideas?

I'm going to keep adding info, maybe someone else will get some benefit from
this. Who knows

I find that there are NO Civil or Survey menus loading up when I switch to a
palette that should pull them up. I had to manually load the Land.mnu from
the Support directory, but the other products aren't there. I go to
add/remove, and they ARE listed, but curiously, they have a C3D icon
associated with them.

I did all of the installs as part of the GPO, but something's afoot at the
Circle K.

OK, it appears to be related to this issue: http://tinyurl.com/53yxf in
that the GPO is being applied right after the computer joins the domain, so
the domain admin account I use to setup machines is being used to setup the
initial Acad arg files.

Interesting....looks like I need to run LDT as that user before I start
switching things around...

Hi James:

It's poor configuration of the arg files.

After deploying the software, I will typically copy down two customized arg
files with the beginning of the "ACAD=" looking like this:

"ACAD"="%RoamableRootFolder%\\support;etc..."

I tried overwriting the arg files at the deployment location such that when
installing it will automatically use my two custom arg files, but it still
(incorrectly) modifies them at install.

Sincerely,
Drew Burgasser
