The problem I have with the deployment method is that it fails on
several machines (not all) without any form of error message.
The log says something about a problem registering some components. Then
the installer reverts everything it has done and the entire Softimage
2014 folder is deleted.
Sooo... I'm looking for something else.

There is a network install option so all you have to do is run a batch
file once on a machine and it silently installs with all your
licensing options that you set the first time.

Now thinking about it... wouldn't it be good and even needed to
have beside install option on installer something like install to
render nodes or something to help out mass installation?
Even on 10 more computers is time consuming now add a 0 there or
something..
How are you guys handling installation and management on small and
medium render farms at all?
Installation, upgrades, addons and upgrades of addons...
Sorry for a bit of a hijack but it is kinda same topic right?

Hi.
In my never ending quest to find a way to install Softimage
automatically and simply on all machines, I have yet again hit
a road block.
Last year, after several days of failed attempts, I resorted
to installing it manually on my machine and copying the folder
on the other machines. I had to copy the
ProductInformation.pit file from C:\Program Data and I had to
run the runonce.bat file. And then all was well and dandy.
Easily scriptable and no human intervention required.
This year however, things seem different. When I do the same,
Softimage can't find a license. This is where the
ProductInformation.pit file was required last year, but it
seems it's not enough now.
I noticed there is a new License.env file in the
Application\bin folder. But it contains the right informations
about our license server since I ran the installer on my
machine. I don't know if it has anything to do with all this.
Any one has bits of info on this?
Thanks.
Francois
