Modifying Default Installation Directory
If you want to set an installation directory other than the default, pass INSTALLDIR="<path to
install>" to msiexec on the command line:
msiexec /i "Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11.msi"
SERIALNUMBER=#####-###-####-####-##
DEFAULTSINI="C:\<full_path>\nsdefaults.ini"
INSTALLDIR="C:\<full_path>\Dragon11"
/L*v "C:\Logs\logfile.log" /qn
Note: For an administrative installation, you should pass the TARGETDIR option instead of the
INSTALLDIR option.
Configuring Installation of Product Updates
If you want the individual client computer to download product updates to Dragon over the web,
you would set the PRODUCTUPDATEFLAG option to 1 (option checks the check box). If you
prefer to let the server download the updates and later distribute them to client computer, set this
option to 0 (unchecks the check box). To not even display the check box, set the option to -1.
For enterprise sites, choose -1 to prevent product updates from being downloaded.
msiexec /i "Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11.msi"
SERIALNUMBER=#####-###-####-####-##
DEFAULTSINI="C:\<full_path>\nsdefaults.ini"
