Chapter 5: Installing Dragon using the Windows installer (MSI)
Using .MSI/.MST Files for Custom
Installations Example
Using .MST files you can tailor the MSI installation without changing the setup.exe file that
Nuance provides.
Note: When you install Dragon 11 or greater , Dragon installs using the primary language for the
product. You cannot install Dragon using a language that is different than the primary language.
For example, when you install Dragon 11 or greater , Professional, English version, Dragon installs
using the English language.
If you attempt to use the /l option with setup.exe to install Dragon 11 or greater , using a non-
primary language, the installation process uses the primary language for that edition of Dragon and
ignores the /l option.
Step1: Running setup.exe to Extract .MSI and .MST
Files
The following sample command line extracts the French .MSI file, Dragon NaturallySpeaking
10.msi , and the .MST file used for installing Dragon in French :
The following sample command line extracts the Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10.msi and the .MST
file used for installing Dragon :
setup.exe /a /s /l1036 /v"EXTRACTFILES=c:\temp\MSIfiles /qn"
setup.exe /a /s /v"EXTRACTFILES=c:\temp\MSIfiles /qn"
Caution: The first time you try any command line, you should not run it in Silent mode, because if
you have neglected to provide required information, you then receive a GUI prompt for that infor-
mation.
(The character that immediately follows the third slash is a lowercase L.)
Next, you specify the extracted .MSI and .MST files in a command line to install Dragon . The
next two examples show how these files are used running first setup.exe, then msiexec.exe.
Step 2: Passing MST File to setup.exe to Install
Dragon
This sample command line launches setup in French and installs Dragon into the C:\Dragon direc-
tory:
