Is there a way to push the installation of the help files for NetAdvantage 2010.1 out to multiple users - or to provide the install as an advertised program? We have VS2010 installed on Win 7 64 desktops along with its help files. Our network is isolated from the internet. Is there a document somewhere that describes how to do this? I'd like to point our admin team to it.
Thanks,
Tom
Tom,
For the installer, it may be possible for your network administrators to run the help silently by passing the /qn to the installer:
C:\>NetAdvantage_WinForms_20101_VS2010Help.exe /qn
Note that the help for NetAdvantage 2010 Volume 1 didn't use signed cab files so the user still had to manually register the content. This was resolved in NetAdvantage 2012 Volume 1.
The following blog post may provide your network administrators with the information that they need:

If that doesn't provide what you are looking for, then maybe the Deploying Pre-Installed local help content on client computers that is coming with VS2012 may be of interest to you:

Let me know if you have any questions with this matter.
