empty content center from deployment

[art_turner]

I know this is a known issue. i know it now. deployment does not install content center files on a local machine. it takes a half hour to unpack the downloaded raw files, it takes an hour to create a setup routine, then it takes another hour to run the setup. is that the procedure on each local machine to add the content center files local?

I moved my deployments into a NOT TO BE USED directory.

the procedure.

run deployment

discover content center does not come up

discover white paper saying its microsoft SQLs fault

run setup, add content center

discover content center does not come up

do Inventor 2012 uninstall from control panel, choose option, total repair replaces all files

complain

The solution I mentioned is for Desktop content single user libraries. You need first to install Inventor 2012 on a workstation where all the IDCL files will be installed and then to create the deployment separately and add all the installed libraries in the deployment under the section "Add files". The video in the solution shows the exact procedure.

i just found this info. Do we also have to do this for 2012? While setting up the deployment it says "you must select Content Center Libraries" from the product list but there is no option to select Content Center Libraries.

This is valid also for version 2012. When you create the deployment, you have to use the command "Add files" in order to add the folders where the libraries were installed in advance. This is shown in the video of that solution.
