This will find the install path without you having to specify

It’s not a 100% garuntee that it would work, but if you configure it for one user account and then copy that user’s profile to the Default profile, you might have some luck.

Any idea how to make this apply to the default user account so you don’t have to reinstall it for every user on the workstation?

I’ve been cranking at this for a while now and have lost forward motion…

Many thanks for this, seached the web a long time to find a way to install the player in a off-line unatteded installation. Great!

To be honest I’m not sure what Adobe will do with Authorware. My interest in it was only insofar as getting the player deployed to all of my students for an online training web application. The AW technology does seem awfully redundant with the incredible work they’ve already done with other technologies like Flash and Adobe AIR though. If I were developing a rich web-based application right now, Authorware would be my last choice of technology

Thanks. I’ll start working on it. I really appreaciate it. Do you think that Adobe will bring out a new version of AW? I have heard mixed messages from them.
I wonder if you can explain why the awshkwv.ini file fails to properly configure user’s machines w/ the result that they get error messages.
