Sept 2 to 5th

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

This week will probably be concerned mostly with new student setup, although I hope to continue to make headway on the Active Directory tests I’ve been working on.

  • test imap server
  • Sony warranty work on laptops
  • Additional XP sp3 tests and new software rollout (related to Maya, 3DS and others) on reinstalled computers. (update)

Maya 3DS Max Auto install

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

I think I’ve figured out why my autoinstallers for 3DS Max 9 and Maya 2008 didn’t work – they required the directx redistributable package to run, specifically d3dx9_34.dll for Maya and some earlier version for 3DS Max.  In addition to the isscript autoIt install (required because the installshield msi file will break all other versions of isscript.msi if installed via group policy), a directx silent install will be required to ensure the installation can roll out on lab machines.
