Chapter 5: Installing Dragon using the Windows installer (MSI)
5. Open a command line window by selecting Start > Run and entering cmd.
6. Insert the product DVD in the DVD drive and search the DVD for the path where the Dragon
setup.exe file is located.
7. In the command window, switch to the ISSetupPrerequisites\VCRuntime\ directory inside the
directory of the executable for Dragon. (If you are installing Version 10, the path to switch to is
ISSetupPrerequisites\{1FAD9007-0FF1-4B05-B7CE-ADE12FB7DEC5} .)
8. On the command line, run the installation of Visual C++ Runtime (requires 4.08 MB of disk
space to install):
vcruntime.exe
The Choose Setup Language dialog box appears asking you to select a language for the instal-
lation. After you select the language, an initialization GUI briefly displays, then the InstallShield
wizard pops up. To disable the dialog box that requests the language, pass the /S option (see
more options below). To install vcruntime.exe without seeing either the Choose Language
Setup dialog or the InstallShield wizard, you should execute the command line shown here for
32-bit Windows:
vcruntime.exe /S /v"/qn /l*v %TEMP%\vcruntime.log"
Or the command line shown here for 64-bit Windows:
vcruntime_x64.exe /S /v"/qn /l*v %TEMP%\vcruntime.log"
Caution: The first time you try any installation, 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
information.
9. On your product DVD, locate the compiled .msi file for the edition of Dragon you want to
install and switch to that directory.
10. Retrieve the customized nsdefaults.ini and roamingdef.ini files from the computer where carried
out the initial installation.
11. To install Dragon, enter the following command line, using the /i option also using the /qn
option to install the product in Quiet mode, where no GUI appears. You also pass the Dragon
serial number for the SERIALNUMBER option, the full path to the nsdefaults.ini file for the
DEFAULTSINI option, and the full path to the roamindef.ini file for the ROAMINGUSERINI
option:
msiexec /i "Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11.msi"
SERIALNUMBER=#####-###-####-####-##
DEFAULTSINI="C:\<full_path>\nsdefaults.ini"
ROAMINGUSERINI="C:\<full_path>\roamingdef.ini"
/L*v "C:\Logs\logfile.log" /qn
Notes:
n For an administrative installation, you pass the /a option to msiexec rather than the /i option.
You also need to pass the TARGETDIR option instead of the INSTALLDIR option.
