Jason,
The uninstall portion is my biggest concern...
With 90 stations to have to visit in person each time that one of the
programs have a new rev, It gets tedius.
My point is that instead of telling us that we need to:
-uninstall an enabler (multiple in the case of core ACAD machines ADT30 and
ABM/E2) (which sometimes aren't even available for uninstall in Add/Remove
programs), install a service pack (or two), then Install new enablers
(multi...). On Each of 90 machines, In person (just in case one version of
the installer doesn't work on this specific machine)-
It would be nice if we were only directed to:
-Install a new service pack. (that we could silently deploy)
