Thanks for the heads-up! Can anyone track down a guide to what's new in version 3?
Anyone installed this yet?
Installed it on a couple of laptops for the more advanced users to try.
Main advantage is its available as an msi
Other little features: Multi monitor support, proxy setup for online resources, dashboad, powerpoint converter.
Shame I registered on wednesday and still haven't received the link to download it.
Ben
I had that problem, but I sent an email to the address given on the page after registration and they sent me a copy of the mail I should have received!Quote:

Thanks,

Unfortunately it's not a TRUE msi. They have used a custom dialog in the installer for the Product Key. The true msi is for sale at a cost of £100 when I called Promethean support! :evil:Quote:

However, a work around the problem is as follows:
Before you install AS3. Install the AS2 using the msi installer.
Once you have started ActivStudio and put in your Licence Details, browse to "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\ACTIV Software\ACTIVstudio 2" and copy the as2pe.dat file.
Thereafter install AS3.
I created a script to install AS3:
If you are running the script on a fresh machine, you will need to add the following line to the top of your script:Code:xcopy "\\Server\Share\as2pe.dat" "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\ACTIV Software\ACTIVstudio 2" /y
"\\Server\Share\ACTIVstudio Professional Edition.msi" /qb
"\\Server\Share\ActivstudioPE3_v3.0.56_setup.exe" /s /v/qb
I dunno much about .MST Transforms, however I think creating an .MST Transforms may also work to get around the problem.Code:mkdir "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\ACTIV Software\ACTIVstudio 2"

Cheers.
Regarding the information on the msi only being available for £100 I think that is disgusting and Promethean should do more to support it's loyal overworked School techies.
I haven't seen the promethean presence around here lately so wonder what Dan thinks about this situation?
Ben
installed on a whiteboard machine for now before i send it out to the remaining 38 whiteboard machines.
there is also a new resource cd that you can ask for to be sent out FREE of charge.
Yes, I would like to know too. I don't understand why they can't just offer the Install as an .msi in the first place!Quote:

I would of thought the £100 version may be an RM CC3 package but I could be wrong when I hear back I'll let you know.
Ben
Well, I specifically specified an MSI version, however, please do let us know.Quote:

He has given me a contact to email so I'll see how it goes.
