How to Install through Active Directory (case 2092)

    How to Install through Active Directory (case 2092)

    Is there silent installer to use to install this software remotely? I have several researchers who who need this software installed and since we use a windows domain, installing via GPO or install script with a silent installer is best for this. Also, I would need any switches necessary to change the default install directory and also license the product with the code we have purchased.

    If you need the msi rather than the exe, this can be done, let me know.

    Well, that is a good start, however running around getting codes for each system, sending them away to receive new codes and then copying them over isn't really plausible.

    I have a license code for an IP based installation but after remotely installing the software, who wants to go around and run the program as an administrator and enter the code?

    ah, wait a minute ... just found this and asked for an updated file for v2012ip.

    Thanks for the directions!

    Well, I almost have a working install script. I had to use ORCA to change where MediaLab was installing to. That now works properly. I am copying the license file to where Medialab is installed and that works (this file was generated by doing a manual install and typing in the proper code). However when running the regsvr32.exe from c:\windows\syswow64 (I'm working with Win7x64 systems) I'm getting a warning that the licenseML2012.dll may not be compatible with the version of Windows I'm running. HOWEVER, if I start Medialab I'm nor prompted for the code and it seems to work just fine.

    Scott,

    I'm a bit confused here. With v2012, we have done away with the need for the ip dll's. We hard code the valid IPs into the programs now so that you don't have to do a thing. Just install and go. You only need to enter 99999 as the authorization code--providing of course we have added your IPs/IP patterns to the programs. The downloadable dll's were last used with version 2010. Does this get us anywhere or are there still issues?

    Sorry if I've missed or misread something here--
