Custom Creo Deployment

[cying]

In my past job, the admin created a script to check and pull the Creo (WF5) and any updates using the shortcut on our desktops. I am in a new job and we have a need to install the latest update to ~100+ folks at my location. I have asked the IT here to write a script to do basically the same. I was told they do not have the resources here so I'm on my own.

With that being said, is there a tool or software I can use to basically do the same without having IT to write a script?

* Shortcut that user will select to run Creo
* if there's an update copy the latest update and override the config.sup/pro etc

Thank you all in advance!

How is your system access? Do users have admin access or rights to write to local HD? That depends. It should be possible to simply copy the installation to a local HD. We opted for installation scripts that does a silent install. There is a documented method of running and install that creates an XML script that users can run and its silent.

After that, we run a script that copies down configs and settings before launching Creo. It's a hook that you can use to make sure all systems are the same. Just have to copy to user's desktop.

SCCM(Windows tools) should do the trick and should definitely be something IT is familiar with on some level.
