I would like to make Avogadro available to students at Cardiff University on our managed network computers. In order to do this, I need to develop a silent installation. I am happy to accept all default settings, but not placing icons on the users desktop. How would I go about this? Thanks, Niek |

I am happy to accept all default settings, but not placing icons on the users desktop. How would I go about this? I'm not very knowledgable about Windows installers. What I can say, is that the Avogadro install is completely self-contained in its own directory (default: c:\Program Files\Avogadro). So you should be able to plop that directory into place via whatever mechanism you want. This won't adjust the registry for extensions like .cml, but IMHO that's a more minor concern. Hope that helps, -Geoff |

Dear Geoff, Yes, knowing that the program is fully self-contained was all I needed to know. Copying a previously installed version across onto a similar systems essentially installs Avogadro. Thanks!
