Nuance PDF Converter Enterprise 8 and Nuance PDF Create Enterprise 8 Network Install Guide
1 INTRODUCTION
This document covers the main installation scenarios for the Nuance PDF Converter
Enterprise and Nuance PDF Create Enterprise products. The Administrative setup related
topics contain necessary information for special deployment systems such as Active
Directory, Microsoft Systems Management Server and System Center Configuration
Manager 2007.
The document describes all parameters and installer options that you may want to use
during product setup.
For system requirements of the product, see its corresponding documentation (Release
Notes located in the ReadMe folder of the CD). Note that performance and speed will be
enhanced if your computer’s processor, memory, and available disk space exceed
minimum requirements.

1.2 CD Layout
The delivered CD contains all mandatory components for installation of the product.
The application has 32- and 64-bit versions. Most of the product components are 32-bit
binaries independently from the version of the target operating system. The delivered
PDF printer driver and some other components vary depending on the selected system.
The CD contains both versions of the product in the System32 and System64 folders. The
msi files for the corresponding product versions are
PDF Converter Enterprise:
System32\Setup\Nuance PDF Converter Enterprise 8.msi
System64\Setup\Nuance PDF Converter Enterprise 8.msi
PDF Create Enterprise:
System32\Setup\Nuance PDF Create 8.msi
System64\Setup\Nuance PDF Create 8.msi
Both folders contain setup.exe. Always use the appropriate version of the .msi files or
setup.exe according to the operating system you are targeting.
The supported languages and the associated transform files are indicated in the following
table.

2 INSTALLATION PREREQUISITES
The product requires the ’Windows Installer v3.1’, ’Microsoft XML Core Services 6.0
SP1’ packages to be installed on the client computers.
The 32-bit version of ‘Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable’ is also required in
case of Windows XP.
To save DOCX, XLSX and PPTX files (for Microsoft Office 2007 Word, Excel and
PowerPoint) you should have or install the Microsoft .NET 4.0 Framework. For more
detailed information about this, please read the System Requirements section of the
product Release Notes.
If you are going to perform the standard installation procedure via AutoRun.exe – located
in the root folder of the CD – then AutoRun.exe installs these software packages
automatically before launching the product installer. A reboot may be required after
installation of components. The installation of the product continues automatically after
reboot when you have logged in again; you are not required to launch AutoRun.exe again
manually.
The Redistributable packages are located in the Prerequisite folder on the CD:
.\Prerequisite\msxml6_x86.msi
.\Prerequisite\dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe
.\Prerequisite\System32\VCRedist\vcredist_x86.exe.
To prepare installation of the package, proceed as follows:
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 deploying this software package.
(see below)
The extracted installer of the software package is ready to be deployed to the client
systems. Please ensure that this component has already been installed when the product
installer runs on the client machines.

You are also allowed to use standard MSI parameters to specify commonly used
installation parameters like username, company and serial number (USERNAME,
COMPANYNAME and ISX_SERIALNUM).

Nuance PDF Converter Enterprise 8 and Nuance PDF Create Enterprise 8 Network Install Guide
PDF Create Enterprise:
MSIEXEC.EXE /i "[full path]\Nuance PDF Create 8.msi"
INSTALLDIR="<install_path>\PDFCreate" ALLUSERS=1
TRANSFORMS="<source_path>\admin.mst;<source_path>\1036.mst" /qb
This will install the product to the install path folder. If you omit the INSTALLDIR
parameter, the product will be installed into the default installation folder. Please note that
the usage of the ALLUSERS=1 property is mandatory. The selected installation language
is French in the example given above. If you do not specify the language transform file
then setup.exe prompts for language selection but msiexec.exe installs the product in its
default language, in English.
Here is an example showing how to install the product with different options. To install
PDF Enterprise 8 with a user interface but with no message box on completion, use the
following command-line:
PDF Converter Enterprise:
MSIEXEC.EXE /i "Nuance PDF Converter Enterprise 8.msi" ALLUSERS=1
TRANSFORMS=”<source_path>\admin.mst” /qb
PDF Create Enterprise:
MSIEXEC.EXE /i "Nuance PDF Create 8.msi" ALLUSERS=1
TRANSFORMS=”<source_path>\admin.mst” /qb
Where q defines what type of user interface the installation will use:
/qn specifies that no user interface will be displayed
/qb specifies a basic interface with a progress bar
and (if used) the plus sign (‘/qb+’ or ‘/qn+’) specifies that a message box will be
displayed when installation has finished.
Wait until installation completes.
IMPORTANT: Command-line install parameters always overwrite .mst file settings.

Assign to Computers will install the software on the computer during the next computer
reboot.
PDF Converter Enterprise and PDF Create Enterprise support the Assign to Computers
scenario and will successfully install the software when the computer is rebooted. It can
be delayed on Windows XP clients when the administrator enables logon optimization for
group policy, in which case you will see an entry in the event log after the first reboot, as
shown below. The installation is then performed on the second reboot.
The installation takes place silently, and the software is installed for all users on the
computer.
PDF Converter Enterprise and PDF Create Enterprise do not support the Publish to
Users or Assign to Users scenarios.
Active Directory also supports ZAP files as a mechanism for installing programs that are
not compatible with Microsoft Windows Installer. Because PDF Converter Enterprise and
PDF Create Enterprise are Windows Installer compatible, ZAP files are not necessary.
