Thanks I really should check edugeek a bit quicker so thanks for your prompt response. I will try this as soon as half-term over and jsut to note the latest Adobe Air is automatically pushed out and updated via the PDQ enterprise package installer etc we subscribe to.

Ive started to use Cloud based asset company Every Education. https://www.weareevery.com/ Simple to setup, modify out of the box categories and items. You can import from a downloaded spreadsheet based your your own configuration you have built online and they have an app. as we are only just populating the database after configuring and removing categories or items we wont be recording its early days. However so far no hitches and its pretty slick.

Ive now tried this and both local install and a push install (via PDQ) of setup.msi shows successful and shows up in the add/remove programs but when you click on the icon shortcut I get an error "initial content could not be loaded for this application. try re-installing or contacting the publisher for assistance. It actually puts all the various folders and files in the root of C:\ I extracted exactly as you said with 7zip and only amended the application.xml versionnumber tag to 999

Thank you and yes Im sure it will help so will give it a try. Thanks for replying.

Ive found a 4.5.4 Msi installer but when user runs scratch it wants to install the 4.6.1 version immediately and it fails as students and general staff cant update the fixed pushed out central desktop. Ive searched but cant find a msi installer for the latest version 4.6.1. is there any kind sole who could create one for me please. Only reason we are having to do a client install is because of the online one got updated in January and no longer supports Internet explorer and we are not migrating to Windows ten for some months and we dont want to have to install Chrome on each machine as we are currently not allowing curriculum machines to have it as limited control.
