Baz I would kinda stay away from WinINSTALL LE

It has some bad package issues. We use the full version and its okay, before though the LE version created some interesting deploys lol

@ZeroHour

 

How much did you pay for WinInstall full version? I use LE at the moment. You're right it has some starnge problems, like screwing up shortcut icons if they're not pointing to a .exe.

[ZeroHour]

Its not cheap. Depends on how many clients PC's you have. There are though ALOT of useful features. NAI files can be used to deploy, they are much faster then msi's at installing. Also with a NAI deploy you can get it to run a command line such as setup.exe /S switch to allow weird installers the chance to install.

Sorry to ressurect an old thread but ... anychance of an updated msi, after install this asks you to reinstall google earth with the latest version.

 

Ive only access to Wininstall LE at the mo

[ZeroHour]

Just about to make a MSI myself right now.

Will let you know how I get on

[pooley]

Good man

[mullet_man]

I'd be interested in an updated MSI, looks like something we could give the kids a chance to use, would be good for Geography.

[ZeroHour]

Nearly done my MSI

Just testing it now.

[ZeroHour]

Finished it. PM me with your email address and I will email it to you.

Sorry to be a pedant - but is it "legal" to install the "free" version - as its only free for personal use???

[alan-d]

I was given a cutout from some magazine or other stating that education establishments could apply for a free version of the full product. However I can't find anything on the google site and have had no replies to any emails I have sent.

 

The member of staff can't remember where he got the info from either.

 

Anyone else seen or heard about this?

Searching EduGeek can be a help http://edugeek.net/index.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=142

[Geoff]

[paul]

you need a license to install this if it's not personal use. Installing in a school is not personal use !

 

NASA worldwind is similar to google earth, but intended for educational use.

Worldwind is OSS

Google have said it's free for education. See this thread:
