Installation Instructions

(1) nQuery + nTerim Single License Silent Installer
Run the installer from the command line using the parameter SAVEINF. This will allow them to run the installer as normal, but the responses they give to the various steps (do you want to create desktop icon etc.) are saved to a file. Then the installer can be silently run on other machines by deploying the answer file with the installer and running from the command line with the LOADINF parameter. One thing to watch is that a silent install can cause the machine to be restarted without prompting the user. If this is not desired, the NORESTART parameter can be used.

To create the answers file, from the command line run
nQuery-nTerim.exe /saveinf=”answers.txt”

This saves the dialog responses to the file answers.txt (any filename will do, using .txt extension for convenience – this will allow the user to manually edit the answers file if they want).

Copy nQuery-nTerim.exe and answers.txt to the computer that the silent install is to be run on. From the command line run
nQuery-nTerim.exe /sp- /silent /loadinf=”answers.txt”

This will suppress the normal installation dialogs but still show a progress bar. To hide all dialogs use /verysilent instead of /silent.

Again, in the case of nQuery, using the /silent or /verysilent parameters can cause an automatic restart so if this is unacceptable, add the /norestart parameter..

(2) nQuery + nTerim Network Installer
The nQuery+nTerim Network installer includes example batch files that copy Netkey.ini to the nQuery and nTerim installation directories before initiating the installation.

nQuery + nTerim Network Installation
===================================

Server
——

Extract nQuerynTerimNetworkSetup.zip

Run NetKeyLicenseServer\NetKey License Server 4.0 EK.msi to install the Network Key License Server

Launch the Network Key License Server
The License Key Server can either be configured to run as a Service, or to run automatically at Startup

Check the IP of the server
Start -> Run -> cmd /k ipconfig
Copy the value for ‘IP Address’

Open the NetKeyLicenseServer\Util folder

Edit the file Netkey.ini
Enter the IP Address obtained above instead of 192.168.0.1 and save

Run the Register.exe application
Copy the Registration ID displayed and send it to a Statistical Solutions representative
Enter the License Key received from Statistical Solutions and click OK

nQuery + nTerim bundle is now licensed and ready to be run on client machines

Client
——

Copy nQuerynTerimClientSetup.exe to the client machine and execute.
When installation has finished, edit the Netkey.ini files contained in the installation directories for nQuery and nTerim
(The default locations are C:\Program Files\Statistical Solutions Ltd\nQuery Advisor 7.0 and C:\Program Files\Statistical Solutions Ltd\nTerim\)

Enter the IP Address of the Network Key Server instead of 192.168.0.1 and save

The applications can now be run

Note: if the IP of the Network Key server is not set correctly, the error message “Cannot connect to the NetKey License Server” will be displayed to the user 15 seconds after launching the application.

(3) nQuery + nTerim Silent Network Installer
The nQuery+nTerim Silent Network installer includes example batch files that copy Netkey.ini to the nQuery and nTerim installation directories before initiating the installation. This batch file carries out an ‘unattended’ installation of nQuery and nTerim after deploying Netkey.ini.

This installer also includes a sample ‘answers’ file for nQuery, where the answers file can be generated by running the nQuery installer with the saveinf parameter e.g.: nQuerySetup.exe /saveinf=answers.txt.

You could distribute unattended installers of nQuery + nTerim throughout the network by unzipping nQuerynTerimClientSetup.zip, editing Netkey.ini to include the IP of their License Server, and zipping it up again. The applications can be installed on each client machine by unzipping and running “install.bat”.

The batch files and answers file are functional, but are intended only as examples. You should ideally be familiar with the functionality before use.
