Hints for Software Packaging / Deployment

Download

For the installation of a full version, please use only setups from download links that you have received by e-mail (sender plavis.de or vistable.com).
You can request the current setup at any time:

Only the setup of the full version contains all components of the software. An installation by means of demo setup cannot be activated (license).

Administrator privileges are required to run the setup.
For the later use of visTABLE® standard privileges are sufficient.

Silent Installation (Packaging)

If, for example, you want to distribute the visTABLE® setup automatically in your organization, it may be useful to call up the setup with the following parameters:

visTABLEsetup3.x.exe /SILENT /NOCANCEL /NORESTART / FORCECLOSEAPPLICATIONS /LOG=”<<path to log file>>

optional parameters

/VERYSILENT – suppresses the progress bar

/MERGETASKS=”!desktopicon” – prevents the creation of a shortcut on the desktop

Preconfiguration of the location of the license file

The license file (only for visTABLE® Enterprise – network license) can be preconfigured on each client machine
C:\ProgramData\visTABLE\GlobalSettings\settings-v3.xml

To do this, edit or insert the following lines and state your path to the license file:

<NetworkLicenceFile><<path to licence file>>\vt.lic</NetworkLicenceFile>
<NetworkLicence>true</NetworkLicence>

Preconfiguration of the location of the shared model library

The path to the shared model library can be preconfigured on each client machine
C:\ProgramData\visTABLE\GlobalSettings\settings-v3.xml

To do this, edit or insert the following lines:

<GlobalSettings>
...
<ModelRepoPaths>
<string>path to shared library</string>
</ModelRepoPaths>
</GlobalSettings>

Notes on folders used

All computer related files (configuration, local model library) are located in the directory
CommonApplicationData (C:\ProgramData\visTABLE)

Please note that this directory is a hidden folder by default. A shortcut is therefore created in the Start menu during installation.

All personal files such as log files or VTL layouts have Personal bzw. MyDocuments as default location, i.e.
C:\Users\<username>\Documents
