SMART Board Software 9.5 Administration

Installing Notebook Software and Content to a Network Server

You can add the NOTEBOOK_ONLY and INSTALLDIR properties to the command to silently 

install Notebook software, including Help, Spell Checker, Language and Gallery Sampler content 

files to a specified network folder. For example:

mssiexec /i

"

Path to .msi

\SMART Board Software.msi

NOTEBOOK_ONLY=1 

INSTALLDIR=

"

UNC path

/q

If you run the same command line on all computers, using the same network path, all users can 

share the installed files.

NOTES

This command doesn’t install SMART Board software.

This command won’t install language packs.

You must use the command on all users' computers to update their registries properly. Do not 

create a shortcut to the Notebook executable file to install the software onto a user's computer.

Because all users see the installation as "their own", and can add or remove content without 

the other users knowledge or control, network administrators should make the network folders 

read-only to allow multiple access. This also protects the content folders from accidental 

removal if one of the users uninstalls their SMART Board software. To create Team Content 

folders, see page 23.

Installing without Print Capture

Occasionally, Notebook software's print capture driver conflicts with other software on the 

computer. You can use the following customized command to install SMART Board software 

without the print capture driver:

msiexec /i

"

Path to .msi

\SMART Board Software.msi

SKIP_PRINTCAP=1
