Scripting

hi
the setup.ini was a last resort to see if it worked
i have a command line setup
becuase of licence issues i cant use the deployment creation as i cant input one licence, i can work around this by using all 00000000 in the serial number but the creating shortcuts switch doesnt appear to work - keane2012 11 years ago

but to use image deployment you have to have a licence dont you?
so i cant use it as i cant have this one single licence in, when the app is going out to users who all have a licence each - keane2012 11 years ago

So does it use a network license? Or do the users have their own keys to put in? If you use a network license you're able to specify that in the deployment creation, it's what we use and always seems to work out alright.

Let me look through some of our older files and see if we have anything different. I've always had the CREATE_DESKTOP_SHORTCUT=NO work. - samzeeco 11 years ago

Yea, we've always had success with that. I found a similar issue someone had with TrueView 2013, the solution for them was to install using a batch file and to include a line to delete the shortcut after it was created.

REM Delete desktop shortcut created by SETUP.EXE for all users
del /q c:\users\public\desktop\dwgtru~1.lnk (Obviously trade this out for the name of the link Acad 2012 creates.)

There might be something funky that gets triggered on machines that causes that particular line to not work. - samzeeco 11 years ago

hi
theres mutiple licences out there
the issue is that they mirror the desktops and for some reason in sccm i cant use the del command in batch file as it doesnt remove the shortcuts when i deploy it, manually it works a treat - keane2012 11 years ago

i have tried changing all the desktop properties and it doesnt work, which msi did you change it in? - keane2012 11 years ago
