11.0

Dragon Administrator Guide version 11
Options Description
If you set the REINSTALL property, you
should also set the REINSTALLMODE
property, to indicate the type of reinstall to
be performed. If the REINSTALLMODE
property is not set, then by default all files
that are currently installed are reinstalled
only if the currently installed file is an ear-
lier version (or is not present). By default,
no registry entries are rewritten.
Note that even if REINSTALL is set to
ALL, only those features that were already
installed previously are reinstalled. Thus, if
REINSTALL is set for a product that is yet
to be installed, no installation action takes
place at all.

REINSTALLMODE={type of rein-
stallation to perform}
String that contains letters indicating the
type of reinstall to perform. Options are
case-insensitive and order-independent.
This property should normally always be
used in conjunction with the REINSTALL
property. However, this property can also
be used during installation, not just during
a reinstall.
See REINSTALLMODE for more details.
REMOVEOLDPROD=1
Removes the old version of the product
before installing the new version. Should
be used in major upgrades only.
/x<Product.msi|ProductCode> Un-installs the currently installed version
of Dragon. You are required to take this
action during upgrading; however, you
should be familiar with the entire upgrade
procedure before proceeding with this
option.
REINSTALLMODE
By default the REINSTALLMODE=omus to reinstall all files whose checksums are missing or
corrupt, rewrite all registry names, reinstall all shortcuts and re-cache icons. Below is a list of the
options with abbreviated definitions:
