Installing Creo View Remotely

[ptc-680841]

Windchillers, I am hoping someone has already solved this and there is an easy, out-of-the-box, well doumentedsolution I can use ... I am looking for a way to install Creo View on several hundred computers weeks ahead of the rollout. We will be implementing a newer version of the clientthan what is included in PDMLink and want to prevent the user from having to run an installer on their ownor submit a helpdesk ticket for this task. Any thoughts or direction is appreciated. Thanks, Andy B.

We use an application called Marimba to handle client installs of
software, but this is an enterprise wide solution that was already in
place for other software so it might be overkill for your purposes.

You can isolate the installer file from the Creo View CD and create a
simple batch file that will do a silent install, but you still need to
physically copy the batch file and installer to each client machine.

The file you want from the CD is:
\installers\i486_nt_productview\CreoView_32.exe or CreoView_64.exe

Sorry I can't be of more help -- good luck!
