Today's installation got off to a great start.
Last week we realized a little fine tuning was in order. It is common practice for schools to install under administration/install. The students then sign in under a student account. This is to make it "impossible" to delete the installed software.
Well, last week we realized that we could make the process easier for the system administrator.
Today was the day we checked our improvement. So, it was nice when the first installation worked beautifully. It was not nice when the second installation acted strange and froze after installing 36% of the editor and it was terrible when the first machine also suddenly froze.
The system administrator and I scratched our heads in the hot room with no air conditioning. He noticed that the box mentioned firewalls and Direct X are often troublesome.
I said "Oh yeah"....
He upgraded the Direct X to Direct-X9.0C.
Everything then worked fine.
Outside, a tuba player from the high school band started oompa pa-ing the song called Tequila and the rest of the installation went just fine.
