Today’s 7.0.1 client installation update (issue)


Tags :


I have seen this in previous version but do not like the way it functions if it continues on through the versions.  I accepted it at first when the idea of multi-user installation was new.  I went ahead and upgraded a couple multi-user roaming workstations yesterday to see how that went.

The installation found the path and previous install as multi-user perfectly.  That was a good sign.  It forced the multi-user option and gave the same pieces that were currently installed on the machine.  The code went on flawlessly.

The problem started when I launched the client.  It forced the setup to be run again choosing the user name, home server, TCP setting for the hostname and everything else.  Even though I did not have cleanup set on those workstations.  (Yes this is my network at home that I totally redid this weekend but that is another posting).  So I went through and recreated the setup for each account in roaming to make the kids life easier.  They never knew the difference, but then again what user knows what the admins do on the back end do they?  LOL
