Thanks, I will try setting the option you have suggested.
BTW when I was looking up the Autodesk user forums I came across a
thread which one of the users had been sent an email from Autodesk
requesting feedback as they (Autodesk) will be retiring Whip and
Voloview Express in the next couple of months. The email stated that
Autodesk Express will be the "replacement" product. One catch is that
Autodesk Express only supports DWF (out of luck if you want to view DWG
unless you want to fork out the $400.00 AUD for Voloview).
Thanks again

Hi Mark,
One of the gotchas with IM2, which can result in only a partial
installation
is that child processes started by the installer may or may not be
monitored. There's an option, normally ticked that's uncovered by the
advanced button when you start a recording. If you untick it, the
packager
will monitor everything happening during the install.
I just used the packager and didn't try the msi file because I didn't
have
time to use ORCA to modify the installation location etc. One
additional
thing to watch out for is that the installtion can modify the the
system
PATH into something useless if you're not careful. In our case, I
editted
the installation script so that everything behaved itself in the
install.
If you get really desperate I could probably copy the package on to a
CD and
send it to you.

Rick

The problem I am having is that the Packager (IMS2) is not recording
the
files that get dropped into the directories. It does complain about
MSIEXEC
being fired up. I have tried to do the install with the
voloviewexpress.msi
- (misexec /a blah blah then install the package via
CMC) but it fails on the voloview exe (stating that voloview.exe<large
string of HEX> ) is not listed for installation. I haven't got to the
registry permissions part as yet...:)
Any ideas??

Hi,
Looked up my notes and it turns out the Voloview was a bit of a
challenge
after all. When first installed it would give a "failed to write to
system
registry" error. Following it with nt registry monitor showed voloview
hitting a large number of keys under HKLM and HKCR and getting access
denied
errors. Almost looked too hard.
I did a couple of things to "fix" this.
The first was to modify voloview.exe itself. If you open voloview.exe
with
reshacker, there is a REGISTRY entry, and under that are additional
entries
which actually determine which registry keys get written to by
voloview. I
changed all HKLM entries to HKCU, and HKCR entries to
HKCU\Software\Classes,
remembering to select "compile script" before changing screens, and
saving
the result. Running Voloview after that showed it was hitting only 2
registry keys, HKCR\Voloview.Document.1 and
HKCR\CLSID\{6C9FD2AD-78FA-11d2-9208-0060B0870405}. I changed the
permissions
on these keys to full control for users and no more problems.
Hope this helps.
regards,
Rick
