Deployment in an Organization

Installation

1. Log in as an administrator.

2. Download the complete installer (Antidote_12.y_B_n_Windows.exe) and the Deployment Manager (GestionnaireDeDeploiement_Antidote12.exe) from your Organization Client Portal.

   When an Antidote update is issued, the complete Antidote installer for the version of this update will be available in your Organization Client Portal.

3. Ensure that the prerequisites are met.

4. Run the installer Antidote_12.y_B_n_Windows.exe.

5. Select Extract to unzip a folder that contains the installation files and takes the following form: Antidote_12.y_B_n_Installation.

6. Create the files ReseauAntidote.mst and ReseauConnectix.mst with the Deployment Manager. You will be asked where the installers Antidote12.msi and Antidote-Connectix12.msi are located. During the last configuration step, specify the folder msi\druide which already has the installers Antidote12.msi and Antidote-Connectix12.msi in order to generate the MST files there. To learn more about this utility, see Configuring and activating.

7. Place all of the necessary files on the server (or an accessible drive). See the following example (bilingual installation):

   Antidote12.msi
Antidote12-Module-francais.msi
Antidote12-English-module.msi
Antidote-Connectix12.msi
ReseauAntidote.mst (created previously)
   ReseauConnectix.mst (created previously)

   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, Antidote12-Interface-en.mst for the Antidote 12 installer, Antidote-Connectix12-Interface-en.mst for the Connectix 12 installer, Antidote12-English-module-Interface-en.mst for the English module installer and Antidote12-Module-francais-Interface-en.mst for the French module installer. Read on for information on adding these to the command line.

   In the installation sequence, it is essential that you launch the Antidote12.msi file first. The Antidote 12 application must be installed before the language modules.

8. Switch to installation mode:

   change user /install

9. Use the following command lines that apply to your situation:

   msiexec /i "\\server_path\to\Antidote12.msi" TRANSFORMS="\\server_path\to\ReseauAntidote.mst"
   msiexec /i "\\server_path\to\Antidote12-Module-francais.msi"
   msiexec /i "\\server_path\to\Antidote12-English-module.msi"
   msiexec /i "\\server_path\to\Antidote-Connectix12.msi" TRANSFORMS="\\server_path\to\ReseauConnectix.mst"

   For silent installation (without dialogs), simply add the /qn switch to each line, as in the following example:

   msiexec /qn /i "\\server_path\to\Antidote12.msi" TRANSFORMS="\\server_path\to\ReseauAntidote.mst"

   See the Prerequisites for more details.

   To perform a logged installation and choose French for the installer dialogs, indicate the appropriate MST file, as in the following example:

   msiexec /qn /i "\\server_path\to\Antidote12.msi" TRANSFORMS="\\server_path\to\ReseauAntidote.mst;\\server_path\to\Antidote12-Interface-fr.mst" /l*v "\\server_path\to\logInsAntidote.txt"

10. Switch to “execution” mode:

    change user /execute

11. Launch Antidote 12 from an administrator account.

12. If necessary, apply access restrictions to the Antidote 12 and Connectix 12 installation folders. The default installation paths are C:\Program Files\Druide\Antidote 12 and C:\Program Files\Druide\Connectix 12, respectively.
