Chapter 5: Installing Dragon using the Windows installer (MSI)
Instead, administrators should install Dragon 11 or greater directly on the network computer
where the Dragon 9.x or 10.x Master Roaming User Profiles are located and upgrade those Master
Roaming User Profiles directly. After upgrading the master Roaming User Profiles, administrators
can then proceed to upgrade end-user systems that deploy the Roaming feature.
Notes:
n Even though the Dragon 11 or greater User Profile Upgrade Wizard supports both mapped
drives and UNC paths, Nuance strongly recommends upgrading the Master Roaming User
Profiles on a drive on a computer where Dragon 11 or greater is locally installed. Nuance does
not recommend upgrading the Master Roaming User Profiles across a network to either a
mapped drive or UNC path; upgrading over a network will take a undetermined length of time.
In addition, the User Profile Upgrade Wizard does not support upgrading User Profiles over
an HTTP connection.
n Upgrading the master Roaming User Profiles to Dragon 11 or greater leaves the 9.x or 10.x
master Roaming User Profiles unchanged, so that the users in the network can run Dragon 9.x
or 10.1 while the administrator plans the upgrade.
n If upgrading from Dragon version 8.x or earlier to Dragon 11 or greater , version 8.x or earlier
custom words and commands can be re-used in Dragon 11 or greater :
1. In Dragon 8.x or earlier, export the custom words and commands
2. In Dragon 11 or greater , create a new User Profile
3. In Dragon 11 or greater , import the custom words and commands
See the Dragon Help for information on exporting and importing custom words and
commands.
