Deployment Active Directory, Prerequisites

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. In such cases make sure you install it first. Download it from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/89380. This website also provides comprehensive information on MSI 3.1.

You can also find this installer in the folder of the PaperPort component

(PP11PRO\PaperPort\Utilities\WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2-x86.exe) on the CD-ROM.

∙On 32-bit systems, you also need to use vcredist_x86.exe; whereas on 64-bit systems, both vcredist_x86.exe and vcredist_x64.exe. You can download these components from Microsoft’s website. You can also find them on the CD-ROM in the following folders: vcredist_x86.exe is in the PREREQ folder in the CD root

vcredist_x64.exe is in the PREREQ\System64 folder in the CD root To install them, proceed as follows:

32-bit systems:

Run vcredist_x86.exe /t:”<full path>32” /c. This self-extracting executable will create a folder at the path you specified with the suffix 32 added to its name. Use the vcredist.msi file unpacked to this folder for product installation.

64-bit systems:

Do the above step, then repeat it for vcredist_x64.exe as well to unpack the .msi file needed for installation on 64-bit systems. To do this, use the following command line: vcredist_x64.exe /t:”<full path>64” /c.

Installation order

Before starting to install any component of Scan to PC Desktop, please ensure that InstallShield's Installscript engines and the redistributable vcredist_x86.exe and vcredist_x64.exe packages are installed on the target computer.

Note that software components on the CD-ROM require Installscript v10 engine installer (ISSCRIPT10.msi) to be installed.

You can find the Installscript v10 engine installer in the folder of the PaperPort component (in PP11PRO\PaperPort) on the CD-ROM.
