Introduction This guide provides instructions for installing the software associated with Scan to PC Desktop in a network environment. Targeted users are administrators, Information Technology specialists or programmers who set up or perform network installations. It assumes the reader is familiar with Microsoft Windows 2000/2003 Server with Active Directory or with Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS), in addition to program package setup, advertising and distribution.
Scan to PC Desktop software components Scan to PC Desktop is delivered in two variants: Special Edition and Professional Edition. These two editions of Scan to PC Desktop comprise different software products from Nuance. All the installers of these software components support MSI (Windows Installer-based) distribution.
Windows 2000/2003 Server with Active Directory Support Active Directory is a feature of Windows 2000 Advanced Server and Windows 2003 Server. Group Policy, a component of Active Directory, includes a Software Installation snap-in that enables an administrator to create a network installation. The administrator can use this feature to install software to Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Vista clients only.
Systems Management Server Support Systems Management Server (SMS) provides a mechanism for pushing application installations out from the server to client systems. SMS supports all versions of Windows 2000, XP and Vista when installing products that use Windows Installer (MSI) technology. SMS requires that a client application be installed on all client machines. PaperPort was tested using SMS version 2.0 with Service Pack 2 and Windows 2000 Server with Service Pack 4.
Creating administrative images This section describes how to create administrative images of the software components of Scan to PC Desktop onto the network. Such an administrative installation will extract the necessary files into a network location specified during the installation. This location is also known as a Software Distribution Point. An administrative installation will not install any program files.
3. If applicable, select a language for the administrative installation (not necessary if setup language was specified in the command line). 4. During installation, specify a target network location for the administrative image to be created. 5. Share this location (Software Distribution Point).
Deployment - Active Directory This section describes how to install the software components of Scan to PC Desktop onto clients’ systems using Active Directory. Prerequisites • • • • A working Active Directory environment. A Software Distribution Point (with administrative images of the software components) A deployment target computer that is a member of a domain, site, or organizational unit. MSI 3.1 installed on the target computer. Note: Windows 2000 clients may not have MSI 3.1 installed.
SharePoint and ODMA links also require Installscript v8 engine installer (ISSCRIPT8.msi) to be installed. You can find the Installscript v8 engine installer in the PPLINKS folder on the CDROM. Once the necessary Installscript engines and the redistributable packages are installed, the different components can be installed in any combination.

Note: InstallShield's Installscript engine must be installed before installing any component of Scan to PC Desktop. That is, the Installscript engine installer (ISSCRIPT10.msi) must be the very first software installation package. b.

This causes software installation via group policy to sometimes take many reboots to actually install managed software (you must reboot at least once after the group policy change just to refresh the policy on the local machine plus once to install the software.
