[Fusioninventory-user] Deploying software with FusionInventory 9.1 + 1.1 plugin for GLPI

[James M. Pulver]

I used to use Fusion Inventory for deploying packages, I think I may 
have written some of that guide. However, ever since 0.85 it's gotten so 
broken that I ended up moving my software deployment to puppet + 
chocolatey for Windows. I think in the latest versions they do support 
ad hoc tests, but really, I get the feeling it's not designed to focus 
on software deployments, but rather tasks that I never could work out 
how to get them to work reliably. I'd be interested to know if you get 
it worked out, but I'm pretty happy using a "real package manager" and 
puppet for this now.

Do you get any errors reported? Is the agent checking in regularly (I 
always set back to 1hr instead of every 24hr)? Have you forced an agent 
run on the Windows side?

I've tried to follow instructions as described on the documentation but information from this document is outdated (http://fusioninventory.org/documentation/tasks/deploy/) and do not represent latest FusionInventory version. So I've started to do it from what I can imagine without success.
