1.1 Purpose
This guide documents the installation options for Corel PDF Fusion It is intended to assist system administrators in carrying out an unattended installation (known as a silent
installation), while specifying custom settings such as installation folder and serial number
1.2 Full installer
You can run the full installer (e.g CorelPDFFusionInstaller_x64.exe) to install Corel PDF Fusion with a user interface (UI) for attended installation, or without for an unattended (or silent) installation
1.3 Administrative Installation
You can perform an administrative installation of Corel PDF Fusion by copying the application .exe file (CorelPDFFusionInstaller_x64.exe or CorelPDFFusionInstaller_x86.exe) to a network folder and then running a silent install from the network location
1.4 Installation Options
You can use the following installation options when running the full installer or an
administrative installation
1.4.1 Command line
The installer is designed to work with Windows Installer 4.5 or later It supports the usual
“setup.exe” options for installation For example:
setup.exe [options] [options]…
where setup.exe is the name of the MSI installer, e.g CorelPDFFusionInstaller_x86.exe and [options] are the command line options for the installer
For example, CorelPDFFusionInstaller_x86.exe /S /V/QN:
/S installs the package in silent mode This will hide the initialisation dialog box and progress bar Note that the initialisation dialog box appears before the installation wizard
/V passes parameters immediately following to the embedded MSI, in this case /QN , the switch to perform a quiet (silent) installation with no UI displayed
NOTE: When using the MSI installer in silent mode, you will not receive any warnings if you have low disk space Therefore, you must ensure that the disk space requirements are met before running the installer
1.4.2 Installing with a pre-defined serial number: SERIALNUMBER
To install with a serial number use a command such as:
CorelPDFFusionInstaller_x64.exe /S /V"/QN SERIALNUMBER= <valid serial number> "
Trang 4SERIALNUMBER is a property that defines the serial number which is in the form xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx, e.g SERIALNUMBER=YK93-DY87-V3LN-K3UJ
NOTE: The serial number specified by SERIALNUMBER must be valid If the serial number is not
valid, the silent installation continues, but Corel PDF Fusion starts up in trial mode, as if no serial number had been entered The validation failure is logged by the Windows installer
1.4.3 Installing at a user defined location: INSTALLDIR
The default location for installation is the path Corel\Corel PDF Fusion under the Program Files folder To install at a custom location use:
CorelPDFFusionInstaller_x64.exe /V"INSTALLDIR= <valid_path> "
INSTALLDIR is a property that defines a user defined location The quotes are needed around the parameters to be passed to the MSI because there are spaces separating them
NOTE: If there are spaces in the path they must be enclosed in quotes which in turn must be
escaped with a \ character
For example (also shows silent installation):
CorelPDFFusionInstaller_x64.exe /S /V"/QN INSTALLDIR=\"C:\Program Files\ABC\""
1.4.4 Microsoft Office Add-Ins
Corel PDF Fusion installs Add-Ins to Microsoft Office to provide one-button creation of PDF files from Word, Excel and PowerPoint There are different versions for Office 2003, 2007 and 2010; the installer detects which version of Office is installed and runs the appropriate installer
When run in silent mode, the Add-Ins are NOT installed If you need to install Add-ins, you must
run them separately The Add-In installers are automatically extracted to the following folder:
[system drive]\[program files]\Corel\Corel PDF Fusion\Addins\
The installers themselves are MSI files:
Version of MS Office Installer filename
Office 2010, 32-bit CorelOffice2010AddinsSetup.msi Office 2010, 64-bit CorelOffice2010AddinsX64.msi Like other MSI files, they can be run silently with the /QN switch To specify an installation folder, use the TARGETDIR property For example:
CorelOffice2010AddinsSetup.msi /QN TARGETDIR="C:\Program Files\CorelOfficeAddins"
The default installation folder if none is specified is:
[system drive] \ [program files] \Corel\Corel PDF Fusion Addins\
where [system drive] is a drive letter such as C: and [program files] is the program files folder, typically C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86)
Trang 5The Add-Ins have several pre-requisites that are detailed in the Pre-requisites section below
1.4.5 Restart behaviour
Most installations will complete without the need to restart the system However, there is one situation where a restart is needed: when the Windows Installer must be updated As noted above, Windows Installer 4.5 or later is required If an earlier version is detected (an unpatched version of Windows XP SP3 has Windows Installer 3.01, for example) the installer will install Windows Installer 4.5 and an update to it, after which a restart is required
To avoid restarting the system, we recommend that the Windows Installer is updated before installing Corel PDF Fusion
• You can determine which version of the NET framework is installed by referring to this Microsoft KnowledgeBase (KB) article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/kbarticle.aspx?id=318785
• You can determine which version of the Windows Installer by typing MSIEXEC /? into a
Run prompt or command window.
See the Pre-requisites section below for further details
1.4.6 Silent install
Another way to avoid a restart is to use the silent install option (/S) When run using a silent install, the installer does not require you to update to Windows Installer 4.5 As noted earlier, the silent install option does not install the Office Add-Ins The Add-In installer can be run separately if required
1.5 Driver installation on Windows XP
The Corel PDF Creator virtual printer driver is digitally signed and can be installed on Windows Vista and Windows 7 without user confirmation On Windows XP, a confirmation dialog box may appear, depending on the system setting
Trang 61.5.1 System setting
You can find the setting that controls the display of the above dialog box in the System
Properties You can access the System properties by clicking Start -> right-clicking on My
Computer, and then clicking Properties
On the Hardware tab, clicking the Driver Signing button displays the following choices:
You can prevent the dialog box from appearing by selecting the Ignore option (above)
Trang 71.6 Logging options
The installer is enabled for MSI logging You can request the creation of logs at a specified location using the /l switch with various modifiers:
/l[i|w|e|a|r|u|c|m|o|p|v|x|+|!|*] <LogFile>
Modifier Purpose
m Out-of-memory or fatal exit information
+ Append to existing log file
! Flush each line to the log
* Log all information, except for v and x options
/log <LogFile> Equivalent of /l* <LogFile>
This is an MSI switch; when used with the full installer, include it as a /V parameter, e.g
CorelPDFFusionInstaller_x64.exe /V"/log MyLog.log"
