Extracting MSI/MST Files from the
Dragon setup.exe
144
Some minor release of Dragon, Service Pack 1 of Dragon 10 for example, do not include a .MSI
file, they are supplied with a setup.exe.
You can carry out an administrative installation using setup.exe, as follows:
n Create a server image of Dragon files for later installing clients. You create the image by
executing setup.exe and passing it the /a option and a Dragon-specific option that extracts MST
and MSI files from the Dragon setup.exe file provided.
n Use the options to extract the MSI/MST Files from the Dragon setup.exe.
Extracting MSI/MST Files from setup.exe
The following setup.exe options are designed to extract .msi/.mst files for Windows Installeroriented
distributions.
Note: When you install Dragon NaturallySpeaking , Dragon installs using the primary language for
the product. You cannot install Dragon using a language that is different than the primary language.
For example, when you install Dragon, English version, Dragon installs using the English
language.
If you attempt to use the /l option with setup.exe to install Dragon NaturallySpeaking using a
non-primary language, the installation process uses the primary language for that edition of Dragon
and ignores the /l option.
These options do not install any files, but rather extract an installable set of files into the server
directory you specify.
Option Description
/a Administrative installation. Instructs
setup.exe to perform an administrative installation
to a network for use by a workgroup
instead of a normal installation. This option is
required when trying to extract the .msi files.
An administrative installation installs a source
image of the application onto the network. The
image is similar to a source image on a CD or
DVD. Users in the workgroup who have
access can then install the product over the network
from this source image.
