Dragon Client Installation Guide
Overview—Installing the Dragon client with initial
settings
Use command line options to copy the settings you created in the initial Dragon installation to all your
Dragon client installations.
Prerequisites
Before installing the Dragon clients:
l Have the Dragon serial number available. If you are installing or upgrading Dragon on multiple
networked computers, have the group serial number available.
l Ensure all mapped drives you plan to use are mapped on each client computer where you are
distributing the installation.
l Install any pending Windows updates on clients and restart as needed.
l
Copy any .ini files you want apply to your installation to a central location so you can access
them later.
Installation methods
l
setup.exe—See “Installing the same Dragon configuration on multiple computers” on page 31
l
Dragon 15.msi—See “Command Line installation with msiexec.exe” on page 34
l
admininstall.bat—See “Performing an administrative installation with a batch file” on page
32
Note: If you selected Enable Desktop Search Commands on the Commands tab during the
initial installation, you must also install Microsoft Search on the client computers before installing
Dragon.
For information on MSI options used in all Command Line installations, see the Microsoft website:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa367988(v=vs.85).aspx.
MSI options specific to Dragon client installations are available in “MSI properties for Dragon
installations” on page 69.
Hints:
l
The first time you run an installation from the command line, you should use the /qf option
rather than /qn. This allows you to see prompts that help you determine any problems with
the command line.
l If your path name is long or contains spaces, enclose it in quotation marks. Be sure to
escape each quotation mark with a backslash: \".
l To ensure that you receive messages about any errors that occur during the installation,
pass /L and one or more sub-options, followed by a log file name. You can send the log file
to Nuance Technical Support, should any issues arise.
Push installations
Dragon includes a native Windows Installer (MSI) that allows you to install across a network to multiple
client computers. You can use Dragon 15.msi or admininstall.bat to perform a push installation.
