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.
