NachrichtI'm with Dan.
Installing add-ons locally on renderfarm clients can take a while, especially
when you have 130 like here. Making an update can become quite time-consuming,
while doing it through workgroup install is done very quickly.
I too am very interested in those reasons.

Is that true? When we first setup our farm, I had to install shaders etc.
one by one per machine for reasons I won't go into. I haven't found time to
setup the workgroup method but I always intended to, automatically assuming it
would be better..... Can you elaborate on why you think it's a bad idea? I'm
really curious....
One by one, per machine isn't that bad actually, I just run a batch through
smedge and bingo, it's all good.
Cheers,
DAN

But every user has to set the workgroup path in its preferences...
And I would not use that for render slaves, gives you more trouble than
installing it one by one.

personally, I'd set up a workgroup that all your users can see, instal
there and point all your users to it as a workgroup. The factory path would
work but you'd need to re-install every time you upgraded or re-installed Xsi.
You'd also need to isntall on each and every machine but the workgroup would
mean only the one install.

Try Factory install. This gives access to all users to the add-on.
However you still need administrator privileges to install the add-on.

Subject: How to install XSI addons with another user
I want to install an addon under another user when I'm logged on as
administrator using the fallowing command:
xsi -i abc.xsiaddon -silent -overwrite
How can I define another user destination? The problem is that the
current user who should use the addon doesn't have the windows rights to
install it.
Any ideas?
