  1. New users - Create mapped drives P:\ and W:\ on your network, run the installation as delivered for an immediate working configuration.
  2. Existing Users - Use the subst batch files to create a local test installation to be used for trialling integration with existing standards and workflows.
  3. Training  - Use the subst batch files to create a local installation for training and experiment.

  • Hi Marc, really great effort and document, that many of us were looking/hoping for. But I have a question.

    On first sight it seems that the Workspace/System folder on the network is used, and not the local Workspace/System folder, is this correct? Because I thought it was best practice to redirect the variable for the systemroot back to your local installation? Could you give me some insight/clarification on this? thanks
