Multi-User License Deployment on Windows

3.3 - Installing Antidote 11

The following steps are required for local installation of the original MSI file:

1. Log in as an administrator.
2. Download the following file types from your Multi-User Client Portal: Antidote_11.y_B_n_Windows.exe and GestionnaireMultiposte_Antidote11.exe.
3. Ensure that the conditions are met.
4. Execute the main archive, which takes the following form: Antidote_11.y_B_n_Windows.exe. This will extract a folder containing the installation files onto the desktop. This folder takes the following form: Antidote_11.y_B_n_Installation.
5. Create the ReseauAntidote.mst and ReseauConnectix.MST files using the Multi-User Manager, which will ask you to indicate the Antidote11.msi and Antidote-Connectix11.msi files. See Appendix A: Multi-User Manager.

6. Place all of the necessary files on the server (or an accessible drive), as well as all of the MSP updates, if applicable (if any updates have been published more recently than your installers). See the following example (bilingual installation):

   Antidote11.msi
Antidote11-Module-francais.msi
Antidote11-English-module.msi
Antidote-Connectix11.msi
ReseauAntidote.mst (created previously)
   ReseauConnectix.mst (created previously)
   There may be a published MSP update for each of these elements: one for Antidote 11, one for Antidote - Connectix 11, one for the French module and one for the English module. In addition, there may be an MSP update for the connectors, which are extensions or modules installed in supported software. A single connectors update may be for multiple software applications. This type of update is published between updates to Antidote so that our application can rapidly adapt to changes in supported software. Note that this may be the only type of update you receive.

   If you want the installer’s dialogues to be in English, you must also use the applicable MST files, which are found in the folder msi\druide. For example, Antidote11-Interface-en.mst for the Antidote 11 installer, Antidote-Connectix11-Interface-en.mst for the Antidote - Connectix 11 installer, Antidote11-English-module-Interface-en.mst for the English module installer and Antidote11-Module-francais-Interface-en.mst for the French module installer. Read on for information on adding these to the command line.

   When an update to Antidote is published, the complete installer for this version of the update is usually released within the next few days. As soon as the installer is published, it appears in your Multi-User Client Portal provided you have subscribed to the Antidote Maintenance Program (AMP). Otherwise, the same outcome can be achieved by installing Antidote with the initial installers, accessible from your Multi-User Client Portal, and then applying the latest updates.

   In the installation sequence, it is essential that you launch the Antidote11.msi file first. The Antidote 11 application must be installed before the language modules.

7. As an administrator of the workstation, enter all the following installation command lines if they apply to your situation.
   If you have no MSP updates to apply:

   msiexec /i "\\server_path\to\Antidote11.msi" TRANSFORMS="\\server_path\to\ReseauAntidote.mst"  
   msiexec /i "\\server_path\to\Antidote11-Module-francais.msi"  
   msiexec /i "\\server_path\to\Antidote11-English-module.msi"
   msiexec /i "\\server_path\to\Antidote-Connectix11.msi" TRANSFORMS="\\server_path\to\ReseauConnectix.mst"  

   For silent installation (without dialogs) simply add “/qn” to each line, for example:

   msiexec /qn /i "\\server_path\to\Antidote11.msi" TRANSFORMS="\\server_path\to\ReseauAntidote.mst"

   See General notes for more details.

To perform a logged installation with English as the language for the installer dialogs, indicate the appropriate MST file, for example:

  msiexec /qn /i "\\server_path\to\Antidote11.msi" TRANSFORMS="\\server_path\to\ReseauAntidote.mst;\\server_path\to\Antidote11-Interface-en.mst" /l*v "\\server_path\to\logInsAntidote.txt"

If you have MSP updates to apply, the command lines may be the following:

  msiexec /qn /i "\\server_path\to\Antidote11.msi" /update "\\server_path\to\Diff_Antidote_11_C_11.y.msp" TRANSFORMS="\\server_path\to\ReseauAntidote.mst"  
  msiexec /qn /i "\\server_path\to\Antidote11-Module-francais.msi" /update "\\server_path\to\Diff_Antidote_11_Module_F_11.y.msp"  
  msiexec /qn /i "\\server_path\to\Antidote11-English-module.msi" /update "\\server_path\to\Diff_Antidote_11_Module_E_11.y.msp"
  msiexec /qn /i "\\server_path\to\Antidote-Connectix11.msi" /update "\\server_path\to\Diff_Connectix_11_C_11.y.msp" TRANSFORMS="\\server_path\to\ReseauConnectix.mst"  

In addition, there may be an update for the connectors, which you can apply separately. For each user account on the workstation, the user must launch Antidote a first time (from the Start menu) to answer the personalization questions, see Personalization of Antidote.
