Chapter 5: Installing Dragon using the Windows installer (MSI)
MSI Options Specific to Dragon
This section describes the fundamental msiexec.exe options that apply to Dragon Nat-
urallySpeaking and Dragon Medical. Additional options that apply only to a Dragon installation are
listed in:
n MSI Windows Installer Options
n MSI Options for Installing Dragon Features/Advanced Options
n MSI Options for Roaming User Profile, Tuning, and Data Collection Setup
Caution: Before you install Dragon using an MSI installation, you must install Visual C++ Run-
time for Dragon on each dictation computer using the vcruntime.exe available on the product
DVD. You cannot install Visual C++ Runtime as part of a typical msiexec.exe installation. For
details, refer to Installing Visual C++ Runtime for Dragon.
If you install Dragon using its setup.exe file, InstallShield installs vcruntime.exe for you.
Dragon command line options do not need to be prefaced by hyphens or slashes.
Notes:
n In Dragon 11 , the installation process does not present the QuickStart option. If you wish to
enable this option, you can do so after Dragon is installed.
n Launching msiexec.exe /i "Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11.msi" XYZ=ABC automatically sets the
property named XYZ to the value of ABC internally and continues the installation. However, if
you use setup.exe to install, you must put all msiexec.exe options you pass it in quotation marks
after the /v option.
Unless noted otherwise, all property values are in UPPERCASE.
Options Description
DEFAULTSINI="c:<path>\
nsdefaults.ini"
Indicates a default settings (nsdefaults.ini ) file
that the installer uses to change the default
behavior of the product for all users at instal-
lation time. This file must be in an .ini file
format; any settings you want to take effect
on clients must have a section name encased
in square brackets as well as the value and
data. If only values and data are set in this file
without the section name encased in brack-
ets, the settings are not propagated on client
computers. Usually, you do not edit the
nsdefaults.ini file directly; instead you set
defaults in Dragon’s Options and Admin-
istrative Settings dialog boxes.
Follow these steps to create a nsdefaults.ini
file for an MSI installation:
