  • Don’t attempt an MSI installation unless you’re familiar with the commands.

Silently Installing SynchronEyes 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 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 software on a teacher’s computer

  1. Select Start > Run.

    The Run dialog box appears.

  2. Type cmd and click OK.

    The C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe window appears.

  3. If you are installing SynchronEyes software version 6.0, type msiexec /i "path to the .msi file\SynchronEyes Teacher 6.0.msi" /qn and press ENTER.

    OR

    If you are installing SynchronEyes software version 6.1, type msiexec /i "path to the .msi file\SynchronEyes Teacher 6.1.msi" /qn and press ENTER.

    Note  

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

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

  4. Double-click the SynchronEyes Teacher icon.

    The Teacher ID dialog box opens.

  5. Type a unique teacher ID and click OK.

    The SynchronEyes Software Evaluation dialog box opens.

  6. Click the Activate License button. Type your registration information in the required fields, and then click Next.

    SynchronEyes software starts.

Important  

Do not close SynchronEyes software on the teacher’s computer until you install the software on all student computers.

Silently Installing SynchronEyes Software on a Student’s Computer

Important  

Do not silently install SynchronEyes software on the first student computer.

Install the software from the CD on a student computer and select your installation settings. When you install SynchronEyes software on the first student computer, you create a SynchronEyesClient.ini file in the C:\Program Files\SynchronEyes Student folder. This file contains your customized installation settings. See the SynchronEyes Classroom Management Software User’s Guide (document 71812) for more information on installing SynchronEyes software on a student’s computer (not silently).

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

To copy the SynchronEyesClient.ini file

After you install SynchronEyes software on one student’s computer, copy the SynchronEyesClient.ini file from the C:\Program Files\SynchronEyes Student folder, and then paste it into the StudentSetup folder on the server. The StudentSetup folder contains the .msi file.

When you run the installation command detailed in the next procedure, the software’s customized settings saved in the .ini file will be copied to each student’s computer automatically. However, if you silently install SynchronEyes software on the other student’s computers without copying the .ini file in this way, you will automatically select the software’s default settings.

To silently install SynchronEyes software on a student’s computer

  1. Select Start > Run.

    The Run dialog box appears.

  2. Type cmd and click OK.

    The C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe window appears.

  3. If you are installing SynchronEyes software version 6.0, type msiexec /i "path to the msi file\SynchronEyes Student 6.0.msi" /qn and press ENTER.

    OR

    If you are installing SynchronEyes software version 6.1, type msiexec /i "path to the msi file\SynchronEyes Student 6.1.msi" /qn and press ENTER.

    The installation takes several seconds. When the installation is complete, the computer restarts.

Silently Installing the SynchronEyes Software Quiz Wizard

When you install SynchronEyes software on a teacher’s computer, you automatically install the Quiz Wizard. However, you can install a stand-alone version of the Quiz Wizard on a separate computer.

To silently install the SynchronEyes software Quiz Wizard

  1. Select Start > Run.

    The Run dialog box appears.

  2. Type cmd and click OK.

    The C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe window appears.

  3. Type "path to the .exe file/SynchronEyesQuizSetup.exe" /s /v/qn and press ENTER.

    Note  

    The SynchronEyesQuizSetup.exe file is in the top level of the CD Contents.

    The installation takes several seconds. When the installation is complete, a Quiz Wizard icon appears on the desktop.
