Deployment Problems

Post by FRiFt »

Hello everyone, hello Tracker Team,

we recently purchased 100 user licenses for PDF-Xchange PRO and im trying to create an ADS Deployment at the moment. Failing miserably ;(
No matter what i change in the MSI's Property(LicenceType is set to 1) table it always installs without any license entered, in english and no user/company info.
Could anyone please explain to me, what i have to change except the property table, to get the package installed on the client with license, username and Company entered?
thx a lot!

best regards

/Edit: I tried it with SuperOrca and InstEd.

Hello FRiFt,

Please make sure to change KEY_REG to your key, and ProductLanguage (default 1033 - US English)
Here is a list of other language codes:

And don't forget to set the MsiHiddenProperties

Hello Steve, thank you for your reply.

i did change those values, except MsiHiddenOptions. But they dont seem to effect anything at all.
I got it working by changing the registry settings of the feature F_Viewer-->Components-->Viewer Registration-->Registry-->Registration Key
Setting this inserts the Licence OK, but still all Language Options are Ignored.
Im deploying on Computer, not User Level. Does this make the difference?(i have no rights to deploy to users, splitted domain)
Any clue?

You need to add/change (or pass via command line) the following options:

KEY - set to registration key you have
USERNAME - to required user name
ORGANIZATION - the name of your organization
USERMAIL - email of the user

There is no way to specify the language for the viewer via the MSI installer, you can do that by writing the required language code by adding this
DWORD value LocaleID with required language ID in this registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Tracker Software\PDFViewer\International

Hello Stefan, hello Ivan!

Just to clarify this again, i did change those values under "Property", with no effect. I had to manually edit the above mentioned values so that the viewer had the pro registration entered.
Thanks for your help, with the mentioned Reg-Key under HKLM(cause i cant deploy on users) it worked perfectly, now the language is preconfigured aswell!
Basic Configuration is done, now on to advanced :D
Is there a way to automate(the creation) of digital Signatures? Like i define a preset and it gets created for each user/machine?

best regards!

Hello FRiFt,

Ivan would be better able to answer this question as he is the one dealing with digital signatures.
He is in the Canadian office so you can expect the answer later today European time.

Best,
Stefan

No, I'm afraid there are no such way.
