Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12 Administrator Guide - Nuance

Chapter 5: Installing Dragon using the Windows installer (MSI)
You include the bolded portion of the above command lines so that if something goes wrong
during the installation, you receive messages about it. You pass /L and a series of sub-options
followed by a log file name to have the installation log errors and other messages related to the
process. (You can send the log file to technical support should any issues arise.)
Note: You can also use the /qn option to install the product in Quiet mode, where no GUI or
other messages appear. Another option, the /passive mode, runs the entire installation unattended,
but displays a progress bar. However, the first time you run any installation command
line, you should not use the /qn option, because turning off the GUI also turns off any messages
that help you determine any problems with that command line. To use the /qn option,
add it to the end of the command line:
setup.exe /s /v"SERIALNUMBER=#####-###-####-####-##
INSTALLDIR=\"C:\\Dragon12\" DEFAULTSINI=\"C:\\nsdefaults.ini\"
/L*v C:\Logs\logfile.log /qn
setup.exe /s /v"SERIALNUMBER=#####-###-####-####-##
INSTALLDIR=\"C:\\Dragon12\" DEFAULTSINI=\"C:\\nsdefaults.ini\"
ROAMINGUSERINI=\"C:\\roamingdef.ini\" /L*v C:\Logs\logfile.log
/qn
