i work at a college and need some advice. We have installed vr milling and turning onto a room of pc's. We use a program called Deep freeze. In a frozen state when a pc is restarted all changes to the hard disk go back to the original state. to make any changes (installs, and configs) you need to put the pc into a thawed state.
when using VR Turning and milling whats the best way to install the software in this enviroment?
thanks

There are posts and links here which talk about current and older Denford software and the folders they use.

Once you get say VRMilling running and setup with the tools materials and offsets that the machine uses as default then you will need to add the altered files to Deepfreeze somehow. None of the software relies on registry keys, all settings are saved in various .ini files - their locations are either in the program files\denford\vrxxx folders, or Docs and settings\AllUsers\Denford or Docs and Settings\USERNAME\Denford.
As for the software itself, I presume you can install something from a clean boot then install and add/allow the new files to the DeepFreeze clean boot settings ?
There could be some .ocx files in c:\windows\system32 which would be registered - our software normally tries to re-register the ActiveX files when it runs - providing the .ocx file is still there.
