+ | =====Rhino 5 MSI deployment with Active Directory or SMS===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | These instructions are useful for System Administrators who want to deploy Rhino 5 throughout an organization using Active Directory or SMS. | ||
+ | |||
+ | These techniques also work for automated installation by running the MSI from a folder that contains a customized Setup.ini. This does not require Active Directory, SMS, or other deployment tools. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====Prerequisites==== | ||
+ | Rhino 5 requires the [[http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====Deployment preparation==== | ||
+ | Edit the **Setup.ini** file and place it next to the MSI file you are installing. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Note:** The installer ignores all characters following a # sign, even if the # character appears in the middle of a line. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====Deployment configuration==== | ||
+ | - Open **Active Directory Users & Computers**. | ||
+ | - Right-click the Group or Organizational Unit that contains the users or computers to receive Rhino 5, then click **Properties**. | ||
+ | - In the Group Policy tab, add a new Group Policy Object named **Install Rhino 5**. | ||
+ | - Select the **Install Rhino 5.0** Group Policy Object, then click **Edit.** | ||
+ | - Determine whether you will be installing per-computer or per-user. (Read up on Group Policy to determine which works best for your organization.) | ||
+ | - Under User Configuration or Computer Configuration (depending on what you chose in the last step), expand **Software Settings**, right-click **Software installation**, | ||
+ | - Select **S:\Rhino 5.0\rh50.msi** to install. | ||
+ | - In the Deploy Software dialog box, select **Assigned**, | ||
+ | - Right click **Rhino 5.0** in the right pane, then click **Properties**. | ||
+ | - Select the **Install this application at logon checkbox.** (Or customize the deployment options to fit your organization' | ||
+ | - Repeat steps 6-10 to deploy HelpMedia.msi and LanguagePack_en-us.msi (plus whatever other language packs you need). | ||
+ | |||
+ | =====Rhino 5 install with script (batch file)===== | ||
+ | To install Rhino 5 32-bit with English language support as a stand-alone license using the License Key " | ||
+ | |||
+ | < | ||
+ | msiexec.exe / | ||
+ | |||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | To install Rhino 5 64-bit with English, French, and German language support as a standalone license using the License Key " | ||
+ | |||
+ | < | ||
+ | msiexec.exe / | ||
+ | |||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Silent installation: | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Note:** 32- and 64-bit Rhino should be installed in separate directories. | ||
+ | For an explanation of these parameters, and the other possible ones, see [[rhino: | ||
+ | |||
+ | =====Rhino 5 install with script and INI file===== | ||
+ | Edit the **Setup.ini** in the Installers folder of your installation DVD. If you are installing from a downloaded file, follow these instructions to [[http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Note:** The installer ignores all characters following a # sign in a line, even if the # character appears in the middle of a line. For more configuration details, see **[[rhino: | ||
+ | |||
+ | You must reconfigure the setup.ini file with different paths for installing 32- and 64-bit Rhino. Installing them both into the same folder will cause problems! | ||
+ | |||
+ | By running the following batch file, the installer will find the INI file in the same folder, read the parameters from it, and install with minimal user interface to show progress. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Example batch file**\\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | This will install both 32- and 64-bit Rhino 5 with US English language and Help file support assuming you copied the Installers folder from the Rhino 5 DVD into C: | ||
+ | < | ||

+ | msiexec /i C: | ||

+ | =====Incomplete Rhino 5 install without the language pack===== | ||
+ | Are you missing templates, toolbars, or plug-ins? This is a symptom that the language pack was not installed. This can be an incomplete or //botched// installation if you are installing from the downloaded installer. Or it can be an error in the install script if you are installing from an MSI script. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you install Rhino with the MSI install script above, but forget the language pack line, you need to manually run the MSI for the language pack on your systems. | ||
+ | |||
+ | To verify if the language support is installed look for the localization, | ||
+ | // | ||
+ | |||
+ | If these folders are missing or if you have already opened Rhino, you won't find toolbars, templates, and Help. To fix this, do the following: | ||
+ | - Run the MSI for the language pack. | ||
+ | - Open Rhino and type **ToolbarReset**. | ||
+ | - Close Rhino and reopen. This will delete the scheme in the registry, and reopening will reset it with the missing components. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If not, then: | ||
+ | - Open Control Panel. | ||
+ | - Go to Programs and Features. | ||
+ | - Scroll to Rhino language pack entry like **Rhinoceros 5 Language Pack Installer (fr-FR).** | ||
+ | - Right-click and select **change**. | ||
+ | - Reopen Rhino. | ||
+ | |||
+ | =====Locating the language pack MSI===== | ||
+ | - Download a fresh [[http:// | ||
+ | - Browse to the Installer folder. | ||
+ | - Run the LanguagePack_XX-XX.msi | ||
+ | |||
+ | After you install the language pack: | ||
+ | - Open Rhino. | ||
+ | - Type **ToolbarReset**. | ||
+ | - Close and reopen Rhino. | ||
+ | You should now have templates loaded. | ||
+ | If not, then: | ||
+ | - Open Control Panel. | ||
+ | - Go to Programs and Features. | ||
+ | - Scroll to Rhino language pack entry like **Rhinoceros 5 Language Pack Installer (fr-FR).** | ||
+ | - Right-click and select **change**. | ||
+ | - Reopen Rhino. | ||
+ | |||
+ | =====Rhino 5 install - Specify a Zoo server===== | ||
+ | To specify a Zoo server during installation, | ||
+ | |||
+ | < | ||
+ | ZOO_SERVER=host.domain.com # Fully qualified domain name or IP address | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | or pass the ZOO_SERVER property on the command line: | ||
