Installation SW2015 SP5.0 via image admin

Hello

 

the installation of SW via administrator image (I have more than 5 workstations to install so it's the best option) it's not a manip I often do (once a year) and I have one or 2 memory lapses (probably due to the age !!!):

  • Sw2015 SP5.0 downloaded (with a lot of trouble !!, see my post http://www.lynkoa.com/forum/2d/erreur-de-telechargement
  • The administrative image has been placed in a directory on the server
  • I set up the options editor of the admin image manager (with complete disinstallation of SW2014 at first and installation of mycadtools after the installation of SW2015)

  • For the installation on the client workstations, I don't do it automatically, I usually go to each workstation to launch the startSWinstall.html file 

what surprises me when launching the HTML file is that it offers me 2 possibilities, an installation and an uninstallation. From memory, as I set up in  the options editor of the admin image manager, a de-installation before it should not offer me uninstallation.

After a quick test on a (test) machine, I have the impression that SW 2014 does not disconnect.....

Another point on which I have a doubt and which I have not followed:

 

 

"StartSWInstall.exe is preferable to using StartSWInstall.hta when you want the installation to continue without user interaction, but don't want to use automatic deployment from the Administrative Image Options Editor."

I'll test via the StartSWInstall.exe.

With StartSWInstall.exe it doesn't work......

I have a "DOS" window but nothing happens

Despite my previous message, the installation went well.
