How to Create a Network Share
A network share is an installation folder that you make available to users' computers on a network. You
point users to this location to install the program. Create a network share that will be used by the
Autodesk NavisWorks Simulate 2009 Installation wizard during the creation of a client deployment.
You must have Full Control permissions set for your shared folder when you are creating your
deployment images. Read permissions are necessary to access the network share and administrative
permissions on the workstation where the program is deployed.
To create your network share:
1. On the desktop of a network server, create a folder named Autodesk.
2. Right-click the Autodesk folder and click Share and Security (or Sharing).
3. In the [folder name] Properties dialog box, Sharing tab, select Share This Folder.
4. Specify a Share Name, such as Autodesk or MyDeployments, if necessary.
5. Click the Permissions button. In the Permissions dialog box make sure Full Control is active. Click
OK.
In Vista, right-click the Autodesk folder and then click Share. In the Properties dialog box select
Sharing and then Advanced Sharing to share the folder. Click the Permissions button to make sure
Full Control is active. Click OK.
These steps are important when creating your deployment images.
6. Click OK or Close to close the Properties dialog box.
7. For each product you plan to install, create a subfolder in the Autodesk folder. Name each folder with
the pertinent product name.
