Has someone discovered a good way to deploy the Excelerate client to muliple machines?
We are using a tool to deploy software but i can't figure out the command line switches.

If you just want to put Xcelerator client on a load of machines without going through all the annoying GUI interface, the most simple method (IMO) is to copy and past the program files directory and then open up the tm1p.xla file. On occasion you need to manually register some DLLs depending on user rights etc but if you find that to be an issue you can just set up a batchfile to do the whole job.

This works perfect.

There is a side-effect for admins:
This brings back the old way off adding new users to TM1.
