Chapter 5: Installing Dragon using the Windows installer (MSI)
Overview of the Network Installation
of Dragon from a Server
Overview of Pushing Client Installation from a
Server
You can install the Dragon runtime in a network environment, in other words, push the software
application out to client computers without having to install it separately on each client system.
Dragon includes a native Windows Installer (MSI) that lets you both install across a network to
multiple client computers and customize your installations. Several servers support this type of
network installation:
n Windows Server 2003
n Windows Server 2008
n System Management Server (SMS)
n Active Directory Services
The administrator carrying out the installation creates an image of the installation program on the
server and then configures the server to automatically push the application onto the client sys-
tems. You can also configure network installations to modify, repair, or remove an existing instal-
lation.
Support for SMS and Windows 2003 Server with
Active Directory
Systems Management Server (SMS) provides a mechanism for pushing application installations out
from the server to client systems. SMS supports using the Windows Installer (MSI) to push client
installations on clients using all versions of Windows, from Windows XP to Windows 7. SMS
requires that a client application be installed on all client computers.
For information about Windows Installer technology, see the Microsoft document Scenarios and
Procedures for SMS 2003: Planning and Deployment available at
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=E0644BB4-2336-4254-
8A18-9BC180713F7E&displaylang=en.
Active Directory Services is a feature of Windows Server 2003, and Windows Server 2008. The
Group Policy component of Active Directory Services includes a Software Installation snap-in
that lets an administrator create a network installation. Administrators can use this feature to
install software to Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 clients.
Dragon supports the Active Directory Services Assign to Computers installation option. This
option successfully installs the software when the computer is rebooted. You (as administrator)
can delay installation on Windows XP or Vista clients by enabling logon optimization for group
policy; for this type of installation, an entry for the installation can be viewed in the event log after
the first reboot. The installation is then performed on the second reboot. The installation takes
place silently, and the software is installed for all users on the computer. When you perform a
