How to get around the 1.5Gb upload limitation of a post installation task

Due to a PHP limitation one can only upload a 1.5Gb file to the K2000. This can cause issues when trying to install applications such as Adobe CS4, CS5 or updated versions of Office for example.

To get around this limitation we can host the setup files on a shared file server, map to that share as a Post Installation task, and call the installer file.

Here are the steps.

1. Create a share on a file server, setting up permissions for a particular user, lets call it kuser with read and execute rights.

2. Copy the setup files to that directory

3. Choose "Add a new .bat script item" from the choose action drop down menu under the Post Installation tab.

4. Use the following commands to connect to the server "Server" and the share directory "apps" as drive letter "n" with user "kuser" and password "kace" (of course this would change depending on your server name, share name, username, password that you have in your environment. Of course you can change the drive letter, but I like to start around "n." In this example the installer is called setup and has a -s switch for silent, this would change depending on your application.

net use n: \\Server\apps /user:kuser password /persistent:no
n:\setup -s

This will install the application over the network.
