Anyone else had weirdness when installing LDT via GPO, then logging on with a roaming profile account? I've found that the Support paths aren't complete half the time, some stuff gets pulled from the Default User profile path, some menu files are missing. I've found workarounds by copying the required folders from other installations, but it's quite odd. Any ideas? -- James Wedding, P.E. Technology Manager & Associate Jones & Boyd, Inc.

OK, it appears to be related to this issue: http://tinyurl.com/53yxf in that the GPO is being applied right after the computer joins the domain, so the domain admin account I use to setup machines is being used to setup the initial Acad arg files. Interesting....looks like I need to run LDT as that user before I start switching things around... -- James Wedding, P.E. Technology Manager & Associate Jones & Boyd, Inc.

Hi James: It's poor configuration of the arg files. After deploying the software, I will typically copy down two customized arg files with the beginning of the "ACAD=" looking like this: "ACAD"="%RoamableRootFolder%\\support;etc..." I tried overwriting the arg files at the deployment location such that when installing it will automatically use my two custom arg files, but it still (incorrectly) modifies them at install.

Drew, we're having the same problem. I overwrite the arg files at the deployment location but it still modifies them at install. did you find a solution? Thanks, Mark
