# benfaminb12 I know this is an old post but looking at getting python - pygame working with PDW Deploy, I have python 3.10 and the pygame-2.3.0-cp310-cp310-win_amd64.whl but not understanding how you command line this, have you used a batch file, see you have // for computer share not \\ as in Windows environment. then the last remark on %ProgramFiles%\Python310\include, and the file/folder name is pygame.h how that works with PDQ Deploy, when you place a new step in PDQ Deploy what do you use. Install, Command, PowerShell. Benn working with command but not sure it needs a batch file

Hi Mtt40k, Thanks for you post, do not understand "Sorry, Ive failed" the thread subject is using parallels + windows install "sims .net" yet you are talking about license with microsoft. The test I covered was for a teacher who uses a iMac in the main. They needed access to Sims .net and having a laptop with Sims .net did not work for this person. Then tried RDP to teachers smartboard computer but this was not an option for this member of staff. If all goes well we will deploy in this manor, virtual box can be used to clone a machine with change of mac address. I am sure VAMT2.0 would be used to change any COA on each computer that is running on a possible three iMacs. Thanks for your reply

Hi All, Just installed Virtualbox from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads this works on Intel Platform only, you need to add the extension pack this allows pxe boot if required. Then I set the VM to pxe boot first. There is no bios as such just look over Settings\ system and uncheck or move up - down your selection. You can of course install Windows from ISO image. We use Altiris to deploy Windows from this pxe boot to winpe I sent a job to install windows 7 x86, to allow pxe boot from within the Intel iMac I set network setting to "bridge mode" When the image completed, join to the domain, run firwall rulls to allow port open for Solus3. Now here was the problem, agent installed but failed on install of sims.net. Run manual install of simsapplicationsetup.exe from your path of sims .net x:\sims\simssetups. Ok did test logon to access sims .net and it failed with "incompatible database" I then noted that the file size of the sims folder was less then a working deployment on standered Windows 7 x86 computer some 444mb, copied the sims folder from C:\programe files\sims to the Virtual Machine with windows runnding on the iMac. Ha it worked. I did use part of this script to complete on the ini files SIMS .Net Install Script - Blogs - EduGeek.net "Source\SIMSInfrastructureSetup.exe" -a {QuietMode} "Source\SIMSapplicationsetup.exe" /s {QuietMode} {NoServerApps} [sIMSDirectory]="s:\SIMS\" [sIMSDotNetDirectory]="C:\Program Files\SIMS\SIMS .net" "Source\SIMSMAnualSetup.exe" /s {QuietMode} {NoServerManuals} [sIMSDirectory]="s:\SIMS\" [sIMSDotNetDirectory]="C:\Program Files\SIMS\SIMS .net" "Source\SIMSAMPARKSetup.exe" /s {QuietMode} {NoServerApps} [sIMSDirectory]="s:\SIMS\" [sIMSDotNetDirectory]="C:\Program Files\SIMS\SIMS .net" del "C:\WINDOWS\sims.ini" if not exist "c:\program files\sims\sims .net\connect.ini" copy "Source\connect.ini" "c:\program files\sims\sims .net" if not exist "C:\WINDOWS\sims.ini" copy "Source\Configuration Files x86\sims.ini" "C:\WINDOWS\" Hope this helps
