Hi guys -
We've begun rolling out 2008 with the new SP4.0 here. I've createdan admin image using SLDIM and things have been running fairly well(other than DWGeditor requiring an uninstall and reinstall tofunction - different topic).
On some machines, however, folks are getting random MSI errors.I've opened a ticket with my reseller and are discussing theissues.
In the mean time, I've discovered if I run the installationmanually from the DVD (SP0 of course) on these PCs, some littlegotcha errors pop up that I haven't seen before. Some have beenadd-in incompatibility errors, others AutoCAD XChange questions,and the like. I'm guessing these little gotcha messages are what'skilling my silent admin installs. It seems the admin image and theadmindirector.xml don't quite know how to deal with these errorsand just give up.
Is there any way to install from an admin image in a full verbosemode as if you were doing a local install from the DVD? That way,these individual problem PCs could respond to these errors andallow the install to complete?
Thanks everyone! Great forum!SolidworksAdministration
