superaz300 Posted May 7, 2019 Posted May 7, 2019 Hi Guys, I am really stuck now with where to go with this, but I look after various schools what have Sherston titles, sadly these are installed to a network location. I want to install these onto the machines themselves to allow staff to use them at home for planning etc, however I no longer or can''t seem to find the drive it came on. I didn't realise as well that Sherston Support doesn't seem toe exist anymore, the number no longer works and I have had no email replies from them. Just wondering if anyone can help me out here, all I need if I remember correctly, there was a folder on the root of the drive called CC3, and in there was full of MSI packages. Failing that, does anyone know if I am missing something about Sherston and there is some kind of support? Just trying to go the extra mile here and make some staff happy. Best regards James
snagrat Posted May 7, 2019 Posted May 7, 2019 Most Sherston software will run by copying the files locally, then just update the sherston.ini file to provide the correct paths.
superaz300 Posted May 7, 2019 Author Posted May 7, 2019 Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, due to the volume of laptops I need to do, copying them locally is not an option.

Best regards James Script it! Write a batch or PowerShell script to copy the files and update the INI. Set it to run at startup (or use psexec/Impero/whatever to run it on a bunch of machines at once) and off you go. 1
superaz300 Posted May 8, 2019 Author Posted May 8, 2019 I may just do that, thank you. Still, it would of been nice to just have an MSI to deploy. Script it!

DavR Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 Still, it would of been nice to just have an MSI to deploy. If it's just copying files, then it's dead easy to make your own MSI. I used Advanced Installer to do this all the time - https://www.advancedinstaller.com/
