Installation problem

I am trying to install a second floating license of MDT. I installed the first license as a "thick" installation. I am installing the second license from my deployment location on the server using the setup.exe file. When I try to run MDT, it tells me that it a missing .mnc and other files are not found. It is looking at a folder where I installed it from previously but has been taken off. Why is this license looking at the wrong folder for the system files that it needs??? How do I fix this?

Thanks,

Collin

Is this second install a "thin" (server-side) installation or a "heavy"
(client-side) installation. In other words is the acad.exe on the client or
the server?

Kevin,

I want it to be a thick installation so that most of the system files are off the local machine. It seems to me that it is installing it as a "thin" installation. How do I get it to install as a "thick" installation? Should I run the setup.exe from the deployment folder on the server or do the same setup as I did for the first license?

Thanks,

Collin

The type of installation is determined when you create the deployment
location/image. Make sure that you create a client installation and not a
network installation.

This is a network license. It is setup for a 3 node network installation. Which file should I run to setup the next to licenses??? Do I run the setup file from the deployment folder or do I run it off the cd like it did the first time when I setup the deployment folder?

Thanks,

Collin

To install on the client you run the setup.exe from the deployment location.
To create a deployment location you run netsetup.exe in the netsetup
directory on the CD. You need to make sure that the deployment location you
created is a client installation and not a network installation. A network
installation will be wanting most of the program files on the network with
only about 60MBs of files on the client. Pretty thick for a thin client if
you ask me, but compared to the regular 300-500 MB install for AutoCAD it's
pretty thin.
