In order to prepare a Windows 7 image for deployment, I am using VMware Workstation 10 to setup and install all software required by student and faculty at our school. So far UE4 is only software which I cannot run from a virtual host client given its limitation with DirectX. It should be noted that Unity installs (and runs!) without issue. Is there any way to install latest UE4 engine, even if I cannot open frontend from a VMWare client? Alternatively is there any way to prepare a network deployment that does not involve downloading many GB of data from web on each host? i.e. offline package with frontend AND engine.

Hey,

Schools need a special setup to install engine on multiple machines. You can read more about it in FAQ:

Once you are ready to deploy at your school, you can follow these simple instructions:

> **[A new, community-hosted Unreal Engine Wiki](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/a-new-community-hosted-unreal-engine-wiki/141494)**
>
> After over a year in maintenance mode, the official Unreal Engine Wiki is now permanently offline. These resources now live on a new community-run Unreal Engine Community Wiki — https://unrealcommunity.wiki/! You will be able to find content from...

Please let us know if you have any other questions about using engine!

Cheers!
