Dragon 12 Administrator Guide
Installing Dragon on a single
computer
This topic presents the basic steps for installing Dragon NaturallySpeaking on a single computer.
For a complete step-by-step procedure of installing Dragon on a single computer, please see the
Dragon Getting Started Guide, available in printed form, or the Dragon User Guide, available on the
DVD in \documentation\enx\User Guide.pdf.
Notes:
n In Dragon NaturallySpeaking, the installation process does not present the QuickStart option. If
you wish to enable this option, you can do so after Dragon is installed.
n You must have Windows Administrator rights to install or uninstall Dragon NaturallySpeaking
on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows Server 2008. For more information
about how Administrator rights impact the creation of Dragon User Profiles, refer to Preparing
for an installation or upgrade.
n 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 NaturallySpeaking, English version, Dragon installs using
the English language.
If you attempt to use the setup.exe with the /l option on the command line to install 5 using a
non-primary language, the installation process uses the primary language for that edition of
Dragon and ignores the /l option.
Installing on Windows Vista or Windows 7
For information about installing the product on Windows Vista or Windows 7, refer to Installing
or Upgrading to Windows Vista or Windows 7.
