Dragon Administrator Guide version 11
Using .MSI/.MST Files for Custom
Installations Example
Using .MST files you can tailor the MSI installation without changing the setup.exe file that
Nuance provides.
Note: When you install Dragon 11 , Dragon installs using the primary language for the product.
You cannot install Dragon using a language that is different than the primary language. For exam-
ple, when you install Dragon 11 , Professional - English version, Dragon installs using the English
language.
If you attempt to use the /l option with setup.exe to install Dragon 11 , using a non-primary lan-
guage, the installation process uses the primary language for that edition of Dragon and ignores the
/l option.
Step1: Running setup.exe to Extract .MSI and .MST
Files
The following sample command line extracts the Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10.msi and the .MST
file used for installing Dragon :
setup.exe /a /s /v"EXTRACTFILES=c:\temp\MSIfiles /qn"
Caution: The first time you try any command line, you should not run it in Silent mode, because if
you have neglected to provide required information, you then receive a GUI prompt for that infor-
mation.
Next, you specify the extracted .MSI and .MST files in a command line to install Dragon . The
next two examples show how these files are used running first setup.exe, then msiexec.exe.
Step 2: Passing MST File to setup.exe to Install
Dragon
This sample command line launches setup and installs Dragon into the C:\Dragon directory:
setup /a /s /v"INSTALLDIR=\"C:\<full_path>\Dragon\" /qn
Alternative Step2: Passing MST File to msiexec.exe to Dragon
Before actually use the MST file you extracted in the previous step to install Dragon on the com-
mand line with msiexec.exe, you must install Visual C++ Runtime for Dragon, as outlined here.
1. Find the ISSetupPrerequisites/VCRuntime directory on the product DVD and open it. In the
directory you find the vcruntime.exe and vcruntime_x64.exe files. (If you are installing Version
10 rather than Version 10.x or 11, look in the ISSetupPrerequisites\{1FAD9007-0FF1-4B05-
B7CE-ADE12FB7DEC5} directory instead.)
