Hi,

When I install apps on Windows, and select full install, if I sign on as
another user, and launch the app, I have to re-insert the media so that
setup can copy files. How can I prevent this from happening? It's a pain
when I have to deploy PC's to the field and don't know ahead of time who the
user is, so I end up shipping CD's to the field...

Please help!

Thanks
 
Hi,

Not much you can do about that, it's due to the nature of the software. Many
older programs were not written to install to multiple users, so therefore
must be installed by each user of the software. One workaround is to have
them install from a network server if possible so you can avoid sending out
the CD's.
