I’m trying to install the deadline repository and it doesn’t allow me to navigate to the mounted drive to install it. I can manually navigate to it through the command prompt. If i manually type the path into the installer field it says the path is not valid. How can i resolve this? I’m logged in as admin.
Mounted drives don’t show up the same when you’re running any executable ‘as administrator’. You can probably duplicate this by running Notepad ‘as an administrator’ and looking for your mounted drive.
You’ve got a couple options:
- Run the repo installer on the machine you’re sharing the drive from
- Use UNC paths
- Install the repository locally and move it after words
If i move it after, is it as simple as just copy/pasting the entire director? Do i need to set/update any environment variables afterwards. i’m trying to set it up on a network and then install the client on 2 workstations and 4 render nodes.

Yep!
Do i need to set/update any environment variables afterwards.
Nope. Just make sure the database hostname is correct in DeadlineRepository10/settings/connection.ini so workers connecting to the repository are getting pointed to the database machine. But if you’re installing on the database machine the connection.ini will already have the right info on it.

Does deadline mongodb database need to be installed onto a server then? Or do i copy and paste that folder as well?
That needs to be installed on a server. It’s simplest if you run the repository installer on the machine that will become the database. You could alternatively manually install the database if you’re not able to run the repository installer on on the database machine or if you have an existing MongoDB you’d like to use.
