You can deploy installations directly from the Option Editor by using
either a manual or a
push method.
- Use the Deploy Manually page of the Option Editor to email
instructions to users on how to start the installation. Use this method when users
have administrative privileges for their client machines.
Under Administrative
Options, you can assign administrative permissions to users
by selecting Run the installation as a different
user.
- Use the Deploy Automatically page of the Option Editor to push
installations automatically to target machines.
Use this method
when users do not have administrative privileges to install software on their
systems. You can also perform custom installs with this method.
To deploy manually or automatically, you must store the administrative image
installation directory to a Windows shared directory, so it is available through a
network location, for example \\machine\shared_directory. You can also make the image available by
copying it to a local directory on each machine, such as C:\SOLIDWORKS Admin\SOLIDWORKS
