Chapter 5: Installing Dragon using the Windows installer (MSI)
8. Insert the product DVD in the drive and search the DVD for the path where the Dragon
setup.exe is located.
9. Install the new version of Visual C++ Runtime for Dragon by entering the full path to vcrun-
time.exe on a 32-bit system or vcruntime_x64.exe on a 64-bit system:
ISSetupPrerequisites\VCRuntime\vcruntime.exe /S /v"qn /l*v %TEMP%\vc-
runtime.log"
OR
ISSetupPrerequisites\VCRuntime\vcruntime_x64.exe /S /v"qn /l*v %TEMP%\vc-
runtime.log"
If you are installing Version 10, you have only the 32-bit version and use a slightly different
path:
ISSetupPrerequisites\{1FAD9007-0FF1-4B05-B7CE-ADE12FB7DEC5}\vcruntime.exe
/S
/v"qn /l*v %TEMP%\vcruntime.log"
10. If you are performing a minor upgrade, skip this step. If you are performing a major upgrade
from Dragon 9.x, perform an initial installation on a single computer where you configure the
settings of user profile options, Auto-Formatting options, and administrative settings. You can
follow the instructions in Install the Same Configuration on Additional computers under Instal-
lation using the Dragon command line.
11. Be sure you can access the .ini files from the old installation (minor upgrades) or the .ini files
you just created in the initial installation (major upgrades) from all computers you will be upgrad-
ing. (Or copy the files to a local path on the client computer where you are about to upgrade.)
12. For a major upgrade, install the new version of Dragon with msiexec.exe by passing the installer
the /i option followed by the name of the Dragon .msi file and options like those shown in the
sample below:
msiexec /i "Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11.msi"
SERIALNUMBER=#####-###-####-####-## REBOOT=ReallySuppress
INSTALLDIR="C:\<full_path>\Dragon11"
DEFAULTSINI="C:\<full_path>\nsdefaults.ini"
ROAMINGUSERINI="C:\<full_path>\roamingdef.ini"
REMOVEOLDPROD=1 /L*v "C:\logfile.log" /qn
To ensure that the entire old version of the product is removed, you pass REMOVE-
OLDPROD=1 (major upgrades only, not minor upgrades) so that the process removes the old
version of Dragon before installing the new. In addition, you should be sure to provide the full
path to each .ini file you are using.
13. For a minor upgrade, install the new version of Dragon with msiexec.exe the same way as you
would the major upgrade, only passing both REINSTALL or REINSTALLMODE options, as
shown in the sample below. Here REINSTALL is set to ALL and REINSTALLMODE is set to
vemus, where /v indicates to reinstall from the source (reupdating cache), e indicates to install
the newer file if one is available, mu means to rewrite the registry settings, and s means to
