Google Sketchup 8 on CC4
From sparkeh.net
So if you have tried to install Sketchup 8 on CC4 you might have come across the following problems:
- Annoying auto update
- Setting the default template for students
- Annoying welcome screen
- Probably the most important: it crashes if a non-admin user is the first to run it.
1 and 2 are easily solved with the following reg frag:
and 3 is easily solved with this one:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\SketchUp8\Preferences]"DefaultTemplate"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Google SketchUp 8\\Resources\\en-US\\Templates\\Temp01b - Simple.skp""CheckForUpdates"=dword:00000000
The reason for the non-admin crash is that on the first run of Sketchup a folder is created at c:\programdata\google\google sketchup8 which non-admins are not permitted to do. To solve this I just created a package that adds the right folder after the Sketchup install.Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00"ShowOnStartup"=dword:00000000[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\SketchUp8\WelcomeDialog]
