Dragon Administrator Guide version 11
Major and Minor Upgrades: Silent
Upgrade
To upgrade from Dragon Version 10.x to Dragon Version 11 (major upgrade), you can use either
msiexec.exe or setup.exe. You can carry out this installation with a GUI or silently. The procedure
presented here shows how to upgrade silently using msiexec.exe.
Note: A Minor upgrade involves upgrading to a higher point release within the same edition and
version of Dragon. For example, upgrading from Dragon 11.0 to Dragon 11.x.
Overview of Silent Upgrade
If your environment requires that you perform a silent installation and use msiexec.exe, rather
than setup.exe, take these high-level actions in this order:
n Uninstall the older version of Dragon.
n Version 10 only: Uninstall the older version of Visual C++ Runtime for Dragon.
n Install the new version of Visual C++ Runtime for Dragon. Note that there are two versions of
vcruntime.exe, one for 32-bit Windows and another for 64-bit Windows. Use the appropriate
version for your enterprise.
n For major upgrades only: Perform an initial installation of the new version of Dragon on a single
computer and establish the configuration you want to use by calling natspeak.exe on the
command line and passing it these options:
n /setdefaultoptions
n /setdefaultformattingoptions
n /setdefaultadministrativeoptions
When you run the Dragon command line installation silently, the msiexec.exe installer auto-
matically retains User Profiles from the previous version. Later individual users can upgrade their
local (but not Roaming User) profiles when they start Dragon. (For updating Roaming User Pro-
files, see Before You Upgrade.)
GUIDs for uninstalling
The table below lists GUIDs that you pass to the /x option of msiexec for each version of Dragon
and Visual C++ Runtime for Dragon. Make sure to use the /x option with the GUID.
