Server installation of eDrawing?

[paltsten]

Hi All


We have ProI/ProE installed on a server from which we copy a shortcut to the local machines to start the applications.


Anyone found out a way to do this with eDrawingForProE? I'm not that keen on running through all rooms to install it.

<DIV>I believe you simply install it on your server.</DIV>
<DIV>Rememeber that there are 2 components: The publisher and viewer.</DIV>
<DIV>Both can can be installed on the server according to the release notes:</DIV>

Seems like this has been out here before.


Brian had a solution, se below.


I had to add a extra line in my settings though


set EDRW_INSTALL_DIR=X:\eDrawing\eDrawings2006\EModelViewer.exe


(Install, take a copy of desired files, paste them to the server, uninstall)

Gerry,


Here's how I did it


1) make sure path is set


2) make sure files are in correct locations on network


3) tweak the protk.dat entries


see below for specifics

Add this path statement to your Pro/E startup script:

set path=%path%;X:\toolkit\edrawings_wf2
