Updating Autodesk ReCap Deployments

[gregamhale]

I've created an Autodesk ReCap network deployment from the BDS Ultimate Suite and want to update the deployment with the service packs I've downoaded the service packs from the list of hotfixes and service packs, but nothing seems to work.  Is there a way to apply service packs to the deployment or is it better to download the latest version and install.  I've used the application manager successfully, but don't see it as a solution for an office-wide deployment.  We don't want average users distracted by install updates, let alone actually installing them.  

I'm also looking for the latest download file to install.  The only method that seems available is to do the download/install which doesn't provide something that I cad distribute.  What I want is an executable of the latest ReCap install that I can use for a deployment.  It's simply not feasable for every user to download and install every update.  

Any help is appreciated.

Hi,

You can download the latest 1.4 version from this page:

Thank you,

Thanks for the reply on this Mitko.

Not quite the answer I was looking for, but it will have to do.  As the use of Autodesk ReCap becomes more and more popular, Autodesk will need to cater to office environments where software deployments and updates are managed.  The Application manager is useful, but it is simply not appropriate within an office environment where many people would be duplicating the effort of downloading and updating a single piece of software.  Appropriate service packs are necessary, as with all of the other Autodesk products.
