[Qgis-user] Deploying Qgis in an organisation.

[Bo Victor Thomsen]

Hi Mats (Old mapinfo-user ??)

Take a look at this article: 
http://www.qgis.nl/2014/04/22/qgis-in-de-klas-onder-windows/?lang=en. It 
explains how to use the --configuration qualifier to make a shared 
environment, where each user has a private directory for plugins and 
set-up. If you use --configpath it's not necessary to do a "proper" 
installation of QGIS - just copy the different qgis directories to the 
user-pc - or leave the directory at a central network based share.

You can distribute your QGIS installation to the local user-pc's for 
performance reasons and do some cmd.exe woodoo to check for updates each 
time the user starts QGIS.
