Re: Silent install of 7.1 patch & update ?
The 7.1 patch is just doing a file replacement of certain key files, so if you run the patch on one machine, you can copy those changed files and then "install" them yourself on other machines by just doing a file copy using a batch file that you can write easily.

I have installed the 7.2 update on a mashine and then copied the changed files to another mashine.
When i started the application it stated version 7.2 but i got a popup windows that there was unregistered functions.
The logged in user is only user and I don't want the end user to see the popup.
I tried to register a dllfile i copied with regsvr32 in elevated prompt at a win7 64bit mashine but get an errormessage that says "entry-point dllRegisterServer was not found"

Urban, just run EViews7 under your admin account and make sure you Run as Administrator. Once running, type in the command "REGCOMPONENTS" into EViews and that register components dialog will show up. Click Yes to register everything. Once done, that dialog will not appear on the user's instance of EViews anymore.

Is it possible to automate that process.
We use the program in computer science labs and the students are able to use aprox 300 different computers
We use a license server and distribute Eviews via novell zenworks to the computer the student use.

You can have EViews register everything it needs by calling the EViews7.exe with a command line:
EViews7.exe /regcomsilent
(this is the silent version with no success or error messages)
So you should be able to run a login script (running under an admin account) that does this.
