Deploying SMART Product Drivers and SMART Ink on Windows operating systems

You can deploy SMART Product Drivers and Ink using the command line interface. You can specify options by using an XML file you created with SMART Install Manager or by including the appropriate Windows Installer properties in the command line.

Important 

If you are deploying SMART Product Drivers, the user must log off and log back on after you deploy the software to start the SMART Board Service. In addition, an error message might appear after you deploy the software stating that the SMARTBoardService.exe file could not be found. The user can close this error message.

Using the command line interface, you can deploy installation packages in many ways, including running commands from the Command Prompt window and including commands in batch script files.

To deploy SMART software using the command line interface

  1. Run the following command if you created an XML file with SMART Install Manager to customize the installer:

    Copy
    "[Path]\smart_product_drivers.exe" --adminfile [XML file] [Parameter]

    OR

    Run the following command if you didn’t create an XML file with SMART Install Manager to customize the installer:

    Copy
    "[Path]\smart_product_drivers.exe" [Properties] [Parameter]

    Where

    • Path is the path to the smart_product_drivers.exe file and XML file.

    • XML file is the name of the XML file.

    • Properties is a set of properties you can include to customize the installation (see Windows installer properties).

    • Parameter is the installation parameter (see Windows Installer parameters).
