I am in charge of creating a Desktop Developer image from my company. We are using Windows 7 Enterprise. I would like to be able to install MyEclipse 7.5 on the image for all users and then have them input their license information on an individual basis. Does anyone know if or how this can be done? We had one of the developers build up the image but MyEclipse is in his profile which will be delete on the cleaup before Sysprepping.

Thanks,

Mike

Mike,

1) I would recommend using MyEclipse 9, MyEclipse 7.5 is over 2 years old at this point. MyEclipse 9 also installers which can run silently based on input from a text file. Using this you can install MyEclipse correctly on all machines.

2) If you must stick with MyEclipse 7.5, when installing, you will be asked for two folders, please change these folders to generic locations that will work when replicated.
You will, however, need to create a .pulse2.locator file in the home directory of each user to point to the folder used – see the .pulse2.locator file created for your installation for an example.

3) How are you installing MyEclipse right now – using Pulse or using our offline installers? You could also use our archived update site or a special manual install (which you just have to unzip) for 7.5. If you wish to use any of these options, please write to support@genuitec.com with a link to this thread. Also include your subscription key and code.

Hi Brian,

Is there some documentation that describes how to use the silent installer from a text file? My company will be packaging a system installer for MEB 9 on Windows 7 soon and will need to know how to do this so that users on our corporate network can install MEB 9 via the “Get Programs” option. Also, is it possible to use the silent installer mechanism to bypass the Windows 7 restrictions on C:\Program Files when running in that manner?

Aaron,

Please refer to the following FAQ for information on silent install.

Silent Installation

Please note that this does not remove the restriction on using certain installation locations, such as the Program Files folder. Please refer to this FAQ entry for an explanation of the restriction.

Thanks! is it possible to do a silent uninstall as well in a similar manner?

Aaron,

I’m not sure about that, I’ll have to check on that. Of course, it is always possible to simply remove the associated folders and files – a script or batch file could be written to do that.
