4. Driver and software installation
4.4 Silent in stallation of drivers and software
Pre-installation
Once a Barco driver has been pre-loaded into the driver store of a Windows 7 OS, subsequent installation
of the driver will be intervention-free.
To pre-load the driver software into the driver store, open a command shell and navigate to the appropriate
driver directory and run the PnPUtil application with the -a "add" parameter. For example:
cd d:\Barco\drivers\VS32\MXRT
pnputil -a *.inf
The PnPUtil application will parse the inf files and add t he MXRT drivers to the driver store.
If this is the first installation of a Barco driver, the trust prompt will ask whether you really want to instal
l
the driver. Check the box that says Always trust software from Barco and press OK.ThePnPUtil
application will confi rm the driver is loaded into the driver store.
At this point you can change to another directory and repeat this with other drivers. You will not see the
trust prompt.
If you install using wildcards, you may see an error message that the Autorun.in
f was not in an expected
format. This message is normal and can be ignored.
When you have added all of the drivers that you will need to the driver store, you can create an image of
the drive, and use it for staging additional systems. All of the systems with this driver store are set up for
intervention-free silent installation.
Silent installation
For silent installation, first import the Barco published certificate into the certificate store. This certificate
can be extracted from the driver catalog file located in the driver package. P
lease note that the certificate
changes overtime, so we recommend extracting the current one each time.
Once imported, navigate to the Barco installation folder and execute the command setup.exe -silent.
This can be done from the command shell, from the Run command, or from a command shortcut. The
setup program will automatically install the drivers for any BarcoMed or MXRT boards that are present,
the BarcoMed Self Exam program, and QAWeb (if part of the installation package).
Configure s ilent install options
You can modify the setup.ini file at the Barco root folder t
o customize some silent install options. The
configurable options are listed in the [Custom] section of the setup.ini file.
