TimH Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 Why use an msi? I'm pretty sure I just dumped a copy on a server and set shortcuts to point to it. (After checking legaility of using it in school.) Tim
ZeroHour Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 I have the MSI created. PM me with your email address and I will send. TimH that means your users default cache folder is in the profile. Do you really want 400mb of cache stored in people profiles
Geoff Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 To be fair, you can alter the cache folder location with a reg hack.
ZeroHour Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 Yeh, Just that my MSI has the cache fixed in it. Was just letting him know of the possible issues with his methord.
MkII Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 To be fair, you can alter the cache folder location with a reg hack. Link pls?
Geoff Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Google Earth] "CachePath"="C:\\Documents and Settings\\( Your Login Name)\\Application Data\\Google\\GoogleEarth"
TimH Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 TimH that means your users default cache folder is in the profile. Do you really want 400mb of cache stored in people profiles Thanks, hadn't noticed that but as our kids share a single mandatory profile, I don't think it's an issue. (I just prefer running software from a single location rather than spreading x00 copies, if possible.)
Inox Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 Hey guys, i'm looking for the latest google earth msi, is there a link to one on here (free version please) other than the pro one ? Ta
ZeroHour Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 I have one made which noone *seems* to have had a problem with. I am working on a site for hosting them all but it wont be ready for a few days. You can wait or you can PM me your email address and I will email you the .msi
Geoff Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 Hey guys, i'm looking for the latest google earth msi, is there a link to one on here (free version please) other than the pro one ? Ta Isn't the network install method sufficent for you?
Catscrash Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Hi, it would be very nice of you if you could send me the msi-file for google earth to [email protected] Thank you.
Guest Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 network install method ? Please enlighten me... Just install to a shared drive on the network. Just make sure you choose custom install and change the location of the cache to the shared drive to. Copy shortcut to redirected startmenu / desktop, job done.
ZeroHour Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 You can now download my MSI from: My Hosting Mirror - For details of availability PM me The user cache is stored in c:\program files\google\google earth\usercache It is set to use a maximum of 400mb as per the default. Everyone has full write permissions on the usercache folder. PM me if you have any problems. If you download from me please post a message saying, just so I know how popular it is. If my MSI's are popular I will upload more that may be of use.
Netman Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Downloaded - thanks Zerohour... could be useful...
SwedishChef Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 Nearly done my MSI Just testing it now.How did you get on ?
SwedishChef Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 duh sorry no coffee yet, and I need to learn to view all the pages......
SwedishChef Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 I did also mean to ask is this MSI for deployment in machine policy only or can it be added to user based MSI/Policy installs ? Cheers
ZeroHour Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 Not tested user based installs, but your welcome to test. We work here with machine deployment so never tried it. Let me know if you have any problems, or even if it works
SwedishChef Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 Seems Okay so far, only that it places the shortcut on your OWN desktop if you run it under userbased install, so I removed the desktop shortcut creation from the package. We dont let our staff store things on the desktop as it is a redirected shared desktop (icon deployment so much quicker) Apart from that it's great. Thanks!!
ZeroHour Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 Yeh left it all in as its easier then adding it again. How do you implement the redirected desktop thing? We *may* be interested Can they set background etc and play with shortcuts? Cheers
