receive v4. :)

Thanks guys,

DAN

 No, it's not true. I've been running workgroups here for over a year and at
other instalations for some time before that. I've never had problems one
either workstations nor slaves. On a tight schedule, where you're installing
custom stuff on a daily, sometimes even hourly basis, it's not practical to do
it any other way.

 If you've had problems with workgroups you should throw it at support.

   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...

       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.

           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?
