Copy folders and deploying Autocad with K2000
Answers (2)
Autodesk need to be introduced to The Packager's Baseball Bat Of Explanation. Their wretched product checks for the presence of files in the user profile and, if they're missing, internally calls a repair using the Windows Installer object! Whilst that works for John Doe sitting in front of his PC, it is a monumental pain for enterprise deployment. The MSIs - and there are quite a few! - need quite a bit of customisation involving the disabling of CAs and so on.
Perform an installation and a first-time run on a VM so that you can grab the user profile junk. Where you go from there is a matter of preference.
To stay "native" with Windows Installer, add that junk to a new feature in the transform and do the feature tree-juggle to trigger self-healing when the shortcut is clicked (Google for John McFadyen's blog about self-healing if you need guidance on that).
To use the KBox to do that, I'll hand over to someone more knowledgeable than me.
