Silently Installing SynchronEyes Teacher-Station Software on a Teacher’s Computer

Install and start SynchronEyes software on the teacher’s computer before you install it on a student’s computer. When you first install SynchronEyes teacher-station software on a teacher’s computer, you define parameters that you will use when you install the software on a student’s computer.

To silently install SynchronEyes teacher-station software on a teacher’s computer

1. Select Start > Run.

   The Run dialogue box appears.

2. Type cmd and click OK.

3. Type msiexec /i "path to the .msi file\SynchronEyes Teacher 7.0.msi" /qn and press ENTER.

   Note 

   The SynchronEyes Teacher 7.0.msi file is located in the CD’s TeacherSetup folder.

   The installation takes several seconds. When the installation is complete, a SynchronEyes Teacher 7.0 icon appears on your desktop.

Silently Installing SynchronEyes Student-Station Software on a Student’s Computer

Install the software from the CD on a student’s computer and select your installation settings. When you install SynchronEyes software on the first student’s computer, you create a SynchronEyesClient.ini file in the C:\Program Files\SynchronEyes Student folder. This file contains your customised installation settings. See the SynchronEyes Classroom Management Software Installation Guide (document 95093) for more information on installing SynchronEyes software on a student’s computer (not silently).

You can then silently install SynchronEyes student-station software on the other students’ computers, copy the SynchronEyesClient.ini file to the server and ensure that all student computers have the same installation settings.

To ensure that all student computers have the same installation settings

1. Follow the installation steps described in the next procedure to upgrade SynchronEyes student-station software on one student’s computer.

2. Copy the SynchronEyesClient.ini file from the C:\Program Files\SynchronEyes Student folder and then paste it in the StudentSetup folder on the server.

   Note 

   The StudentSetup folder contains the SynchronEyes Student 7.0.msi file.

1. When you customise installation settings, you automatically save the settings to the SynchronEyesClient.ini file. Copy the .ini file to the StudentSetup folder on the server to save the updated installation settings for all student computers.

2. When you don’t customise installation settings, copy the SynchronEyesClient.ini file to the StudentSetup folder on the server to save the installation settings from the previous installation for all student computers.

3. When you customise installation settings but you don’t copy the SynchronEyesClient.ini file to the StudentSetup folder on the server, you save the default installation settings from the first computer for all student computers.
