The installation program treats a network drive no different than a local hard drive. Simply specify the target installation drive and folder and the software will be copied and expanded accordingly.
Some networks protect installation directories from subsequent modification by users. This involves setting the access rights to the installation folder to read, share, and scan. Because Hexagon PPM software uses data files specific to the installation (that is, accounting files, material files, and so forth) which a user may need to modify, these files cannot be located in the “protected” installation folder. Therefore, these data files are located in a subfolder named SYSTEM, underneath the installation folder. Users should be given all access rights to this SYSTEM folder. (While the actual name of the program's installation folder can be specified by the person installing the software, the SYSTEM subdirectory name is fixed, and is automatically created. Renaming this subfolder will cause the software to fail and generate an error report.
Note that this SYSTEM subfolder is not the primary top level SYSTEM directory containing the network operating system. Consult your system administrator for clarification.
After the software has been installed on the network drive, the installation program launches the configuration program which generates a default configuration file. After the installation folder is write protected this file cannot be modified. (This is actually a good idea, because this configuration file can then only be used as a starting template to generate other configuration files located in the various user data directories.)
