When you have completed these tasks, you are ready to create a deployment from the Installation wizard.
Minimize Chances of Installation Failure
The Autodesk NavisWorks Simulate 2009 installation process may stop if some applications, such as
Microsoft Outlook or virus checking programs, are running when you are creating a deployment. Close all
running applications and temporarily disable virus checking utilities.
Create Shared Folders for Your Deployments
Shared folders are required for both network license and multi-seat stand-alone methods of installation.
The shared folder (network share) is created before you run the Installation wizard and is where product
deployments are stored.
It is recommended that you name the network share folder Deployments on the desktop of the system
where you want deployments stored. You can then add subfolders inside the shared Deployments folder
that clearly convey the name of product you plan to deploy. This is also beneficial if you plan to deploy
multiple products.
Any subfolders that are placed inside a shared folder are automatically shared.
Note:
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 a shared folder:
1. On a network server, create a folder named Deployments.
2. Right-click the Deployments folder and click Share and Security (or Sharing).
In Vista, right-click the Deployments folder and then click Share. Click the Permissions button to
make sure Full Control is active.
3. In the [folder name] Properties dialog box, Sharing tab, select Share This Folder.
In Vista, in the Properties dialog box, select Sharing and then Advanced Sharing.
4. Specify a Share Name, such as MyDeployments, if necessary.
5. Click the Permissions button. In the Permissions dialog box make sure Full Control is active. Click
OK.
6. Click OK or Close to close the Properties dialog box.
7. For each product you plan to install, create a subfolder in the Deployments folder. Name each folder
with the pertinent product name.
