Chapter 5: Installing Dragon using the Windows installer (MSI)
Installing Visual C++ Runtime for
Dragon
Caution: Before you carry out an installation of Dragon using msiexec.exe, you must install Visual
C++ Runtime for Dragon on every dictation client computer. You can install it one of the fol-
lowing ways:
n Use the Dragon setup.exe on the command line, which automatically installs vcruntime.exe for
you.
n Include a vcruntime.exe command line in your admininstall.bat script (see Carrying Out an
Administrative Installation).
n If you are using msiexec.exe to install Dragon, manually install vcruntime.exe from the DVD
(see instructions below).
Manually Installing Visual C++ Runtime
Note: These steps are included in the msiexec.exe installation of Dragon.
1. Find the ISSetupPrerequisites/VCRuntime directory on the product DVD and open it. In this
directory you find the vcruntime.exe and vcruntime_x64.exe files. If you are installing Version
10, look in the ISSetupPrerequisites\{1FAD9007-0FF1-4B05-B7CE-ADE12FB7DEC5} direc-
tory; you find only the 32-bit version of vcruntime.exe for Version 10.
2. Copy the vcruntime files to your server or to another accessible location. These .exe files install
Visual C++ Runtime for Dragon. Run vcruntime.exe on each 32-bit computer where you
intend to install Dragon and vcruntime_x64.exe on each 64-bit computer.
Caution: Do not attempt to extract the .msi file from either vcruntime.exe or vcruntime_x64.exe.
Installing the Visual C++ Runtime for Dragon as part of an msiexec.exe command line installation
of Dragon is not recommended and not supported.
Pushing an installation of the Visual C++ Runtime
You can install the Visual C++ Runtime for Dragon using a Windows installer (MSI).
To create the MSIfile for the C++Runtime, perform the following steps:
1. On the Dragon installation disc, find the vcruntime.exe file.
2. Double-lick the vcruntime.exe file.
3. When the Welcome dialog-box displays, use Windows explorer to navigate to the Windows
user's %TEMP% directory.
4. In the newest directory under the %TEMP% directory, look for a file called Visual C++ 9.0
Runtime for Dragon NaturallySpeaking.msi.
You can now use a server application and the Visual C++ 9.0 Runtime for Dragon Nat-
urallySpeaking.msi file to push the Visual C++ Runtime to multiple computers across a net-
work.
