Re: Silent service pack install for Client Access for Windows

[Dan <dan27649@xxxxxxxxx>]

I agree completely, Rob.  In fact, we know already that the java based
client solves the issue that we are hoping the service pack for the Windows
client would solve.  Apparently, there is a fear of something, anything
breaking during the silent install of either the Java client or the service
pack for the Windows client that would cause downtime for any of our 200+
service reps, and we are required to avoid that at just about all costs.
So, management isn't willing to take the risk.  I guess this means we'll
never upgrade our Windows clients to WIndows 10.  The only way forward, it
seems, is that someone would need to come in on Sundays to manually deploy
the Java client and run a series of tests.  Pigs will fly before that
happens.
