Dragon Administrator Guide version 11
To install Visual C++ Runtime for Dragon, the script uses the full path to vcruntime.exe and
passes it several options:
n /a to indicate it is an administrative installation (to a server)
n /L option followed by the language ID
n /v option followed by a series of MSI installation options all enclosed in quotation marks,
including:
l TARGETDIR to indicate where to put the image resulting from an admin-
istrative installation
l /qb to display only a basic GUI
l /L to indicate the types of messages to log and the file to log them in
ISSetupPrerequisites\VCRuntime\vcruntime.exe /a /l1033
/v"TARGETDIR=%NETWORK_VCRUNTIME_DIR% /qb /L*v %TEMP%\admininstall.log"
Note: An administrative installation should always use the TARGETDIR option instead of the
INSTALLDIR option.
The batch file then installs 64-bit vcruntime using the full path to vcruntime_x64.exe and passes
it the same options:
echo Installing Visual C++ Runtime for Dragon NaturallySpeaking 64bit
(x64)... ISSetupPrerequisites\VCRuntime\vcruntime_x64.exe /a /l1033
/v"TARGETDIR=%NETWORK_VCRUNTIME_X64_DIR% /qb /L*v %TEMP%-
\admininstall.log"
If you have Version 10, rather than Version 10.x or 11, you have only the 32-bit version and need
to use a different path:
ISSetupPrerequisites\{1FAD9007-0FF1-4B05-B7CE-ADE12FB7DEC5}-
\vcruntime.exe /a /l1033 /v"TARGETDIR=%NETWORK_VCRUNTIME_DIR% /qb /L*v
%TEMP%\admininstall.log"
When the installation of Visual C++ Runtime succeeds or fails, the batch file displays the appro-
priate message.
Finally, the log file installs Dragon, using a single line of code that calls the setup.exe command
and passes it:
n /a option — Indicates administrative install
n /s option for a silent no-GUI installation
n /v option to indicate msiexec options follow, enclosed in quotation marks
The msiexec options with /v include /qb for display of a basic GUI during the process, the TAR-
GETDIR setting, and a /L with a series of log file options, including the name and location for
the log file:
