everytime I update houdini i keep jumping between clients. is there a way to batch install houdini on clients, so that it installs without userinteraction?

Martin

I don't have any experience with doing it on Windows, but on linux and OS X I have written a custom Python script to handle it.

On linux all you need is a script that will untar the downloaded file somewhere, create the directory you want to install to, then untar the houdini.tar.gz file that got extracted to that new directory and you are all set.

On OS X you just need to execute commands to attach the .dmg file, run the installer on it, then detach it.

I should mention that my linux method doesn't do anything with the license server, however you always have to install the newest version with the OS X installer.

thanks graham, works fine for windows, too, at least mantra does run fine this way
