    Default Pushing Out acad 2008 through Active Directory

    I'm trying to push out A2008 through Active directory. I can't seem to get it to push out all custom settings. (ie: search paths). The base install does happen, just no custom settings.

    I push out the acad.msi in the admin folder as well as the acad-....mst file also in the admin folder.

    Anyone else run into this problem? Am i doing something wrong?

    Are you simply calling the .MSI file in your GP?

    Calling acad.MSI as well as .MST that was generated after the deployment.

    Problem solved. I recreated the deployment, and now it works.

    UPDATE:

    I can now get all the search paths, acad opens fine, but i get several error messages in the process. Anyone seen these messages?

    I've seen the first and third message. Unfortunately, I don't know the solution for either one.

    The second one looks to be a DirectX issue. You may need to verify the installation of DirectX or reinstall it on the affected machine.
    If you have a technical question, please find the appropriate forum and ask it there.
    You will get a quicker response from your fellow AUGI members than if you sent it to me via a PM or email.

    See Attachment.
    Here's one article, "Error: Unable to load profile file" for the first issue. It may fix the third one as well. I just haven't tested it.

    Are you also installing all the prerequisites beforehand? (vba, flash, directx, xml, etc)
    You can't just install the "acad.msi" and expect everything to work OK.

    i thought everythign is being installed as part of the deployment?

    wont the msi point to the ini files, which direct everything else.....and mst will load all sustom settings

    this is exactly how i rolled out 2K6.

    That is not my understanding. We were using a BAT file to install 2008 and had to call each msi file separately.

    2k8 deployments are different.
